Spring JdbcClient Example

In this section, we're gonna build a Spring Boot application that use Spring JdbcClient to interact with PostgreSQL database.

Spring Framework 6.1 introduced the JdbcClient API. As we all know, Spring Framework 6.1 is part of Spring Boot version 3.2. 

We can use the Spring JdbcClient interface to define the query, set the parameters, and perform the DB operation, using a fluent API. Fluent APIs are designed to make the code more readable and therefore easier to use. Wiring objects together using method chaining helps accomplish these readability and usability goals.

An example for retrieving a Student as a Optional:

public Optional<Student> findStudentById(Long id) {

    String sql = "select id, name, age, gender, " +
                   "email from students where id = :id";

    return jdbcClient.sql(sql)
            .param("id", id)
            .query(Student.class)
            .optional();
}

What we will build?

We will build a spring boot, JDBC API application, create DAO layer and finally we will write test against PostgreSQL database as container instance.

We are using Postgresql database here, but you can use any other relational database too, such as MySQL and Oracle. All you need is to change the database configurations and it should work.


Creating spring boot application

First, open the Spring initializr https://start.spring.io

Then, Provide the Group and Artifact name. We have provided Group name com.knf.dev.demo and Artifact spring-jdbcclient-example. Here I selected the Maven project - language Java 17 - Spring Boot 3.2.0 , JDBC API, PostgreSQL Driver and Testcontainers(for testing purpose).


Then, click on the Generate button. When we click on the Generate button, it starts packing the project in a .zip(spring-jdbcclient-example) file and downloads the project. Then, Extract the Zip file. 

Then, import the project on your favourite IDE.

Final Project directory:

application.yaml 

For creating table via schema.sql, we need to set the spring.sql.init.mode=always.

If you are running the application with real postgresql database, then configure Spring Boot to use PostgreSQL as data source. We are simply adding PostgreSQL database URL, username, and password in the src/main/resources/application.yaml.

#Real database(PostgreSQL) configuration
spring:
  datasource:
    url: jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/postgres
    username: postgres
    password: root
  sql:
    init:
     mode: always

Create schema.sql

To generate a database schema at application start, the file schema.sql with the corresponding SQL commands for schema creation must be stored in the resources folder.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS students (
  id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
  name VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL,
  email VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL,
  gender VARCHAR(250) NOT NULL,
  age INT
);

Create test-student-data.sql

INSERT INTO students (id,name, email, age, gender) VALUES
  (100,'Pro', 'pro@knf.com', 60, 'Male'),
  (101,'Alpha', 'alpha@knf.com', 50, 'Male'),
  (102,'Beta', 'beta@knf.com', 40, 'Female'),
  (103,'Gama', 'gama@knf.com', 30, 'Male'),
  (104,'Pekka', 'pekka@knf.com', 20, 'Female'),
  (105,'Noob', 'noob@knf.com', 10, 'Male'),
  (106,'Noob2', 'noob2@knf.com', 5, 'Male'),
  (107,'Noob3', 'noob3@knf.com', 5, 'Male');

Load some initial test data. Later, we will will use this script inside out test class to load data.


Create Model - Student

Create Java record named Student.
package com.knf.dev.demo.model;

public record Student
        (Long id,
         String name,
         String email,
         Integer age,
         String gender ) {}

Create StudentDAO.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.dao;

import com.knf.dev.demo.model.Student;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

public interface StudentDAO {

    Integer insertStudent(Student student);

    Integer updateStudent(Student student);

    Integer deleteStudent(Long id);

    List<Student> findStudentByAgeAndGender(Integer age, String gender);

    Optional<Student> findStudentById(Long id);

    List<Student> findStudentByGenderAndAgeGreaterThan(Integer age, String gender);
}

Create StudentDAOImpl.java

package com.knf.dev.demo.dao;

import com.knf.dev.demo.model.Student;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.RowMapper;
import org.springframework.jdbc.core.simple.JdbcClient;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

@Repository
public class StudentDAOImpl implements StudentDAO {

    private JdbcClient jdbcClient;

    public StudentDAOImpl(JdbcClient jdbcClient) {
        this.jdbcClient = jdbcClient;
    }

    @Override
    public Integer insertStudent(Student student) {

        String sql = "INSERT INTO students (name, email, gender, age)"
                        + "VALUES (:name, :email, :gender, :age)";
       return this.jdbcClient.sql(sql)
                .param("name", student.name(), Types.VARCHAR)
                .param("email", student.email(), Types.VARCHAR)
                .param("gender", student.gender(), Types.VARCHAR)
                .param("age", student.age(), Types.INTEGER)
                .update();
    }

    @Override
    public Integer updateStudent(Student student) {

        String sql = "update students set name = :name, email = :email, " +
                        "gender= :gender, age = :age where id = :id";

        return jdbcClient.sql(sql)
                .param("name", student.name())
                .param("email", student.email())
                .param("gender", student.gender())
                .param("age", student.age())
                .param("id", student.id())
                .update();

    }

    @Override
    public Integer deleteStudent(Long id) {

        String sql = "delete from students where id = :id";
        return jdbcClient.sql(sql).param("id", id).update();
    }

    //Using  Varargs
    @Override
    public List<Student> findStudentByAgeAndGender(Integer age, String gender) {

        String sql = "select id, name, age, email, gender, age from students"
                        + " where age = ? and gender = ?";

        return jdbcClient.sql(sql)
                .params(age, gender)
                .query(new StudentRowMapper()).list();
    }

    @Override
    public Optional<Student> findStudentById(Long id) {

        String sql = "select id, name, age, gender, " +
                       "email from students where id = :id";

        return jdbcClient.sql(sql)
                .param("id", id)
                .query(Student.class)
                .optional();
    }

    //Using Positional Params
    @Override
    public List<Student> findStudentByGenderAndAgeGreaterThan
    (Integer age, String gender) {

        String sql = "select id, name, age, email, gender from students"
                         + " where age > ? and gender = ?";

        return jdbcClient.sql(sql)
                .param(age)
                .param(gender)
                .query(new StudentRowMapper()).list();
    }

    static class StudentRowMapper implements RowMapper<Student> {
        @Override
        public Student mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException {
            return new Student(
                    rs.getLong("id"),
                    rs.getString("name"),
                    rs.getString("email"),
                    rs.getInt("age"),
                    rs.getString("gender"));
        }
    }
}
JdbcClient is auto-configured for us in Spring Boot.
Above, JdbcClient is used and injected in the component class. Initialise a final JdbcClient object and create a constructor injection using this field.
 
Here, we are wiring objects together using method chaining helps accomplish readability and usability.

Application.java

package com.knf.dev.demo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
   }
}


Implementing the Tests

For running the test, install docker in your local machine if you not yet installed docker. Go to docker official https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/#desktop and download docker and then install.


Create StudentDAOTests 

When using JUnit 4, @SpringBootTest annotation should be used in combination with @RunWith(SpringRunner.class). But for this example  we are using JUnit 5, there’s no need to add the equivalent @ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class).

        assertThat(student.id()).isEqualTo(102l);
        assertThat(student.gender()).isEqualTo("Female");
    }
}


Run the test

Since we are using Testcontainers , make sure to start Docker in your local machine.

After that, run the test, 


Or you can run the test using following command:

mvn  test -Dtest=StudentDAOTests
or
mvn test

Java Stream API - How to convert List of objects to another List of objects using Java streams?

Image
In this section, we will show you how to convert a List of objects to another List of objects in Java using the Java streams map(). The ‘map’ method maps each element to its corresponding result. Java Stream API   The Java Stream API provides a functional programming approach over the object oriented capabilities of Java. It is used for processing collections of objects. The Stream in Java can be defined as a sequence of elements from a source List, Set or Array. Most of the stream operations return a Stream. This avails engender a chain of stream operations(stream pipe-lining). The streams withal support the aggregate or terminal operations on the elements. for example, finding the sum or maximum element or finding the average etc...Stream operations can either be executed sequentially or parallel. when performed parallelly, it is called a parallel stream.   Stream map() Method   The Java 8 Stream map() is an intermediate operation. It converts Stream<obj1> to Stream<obj2>

Top 5 Java ORM tools - 2024

Image
  The term ORM refers to object-relational mapping, which uses objects to adapt programming languages to database systems while allowing them to function with SQL and object-oriented programming ideas. Any kind of database management system that can accomplish object mapping to the table in the virtual system is suitable for the implementation of ORM. Java has a wide variety of ORM tools, some of which are mentioned below: 1. Hibernate Hibernate is a lightweight, open-source, non-invasive Java ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) framework that allows developers to create objects that function independently of database software and create persistence logic in any Java or JavaEE application. It offers an abstraction layer, so developers don't have to bother about implementations; Hibernate handles these tasks internally, such as connecting to databases and creating queries to carry out CRUD operations, among other things. Persistence logic development is done with it. Persistence logic r

Java - Blowfish Encryption and decryption Example

Image
Blowfish is an encryption method developed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as an alternative to the DES encryption method. It is significantly faster than DES and provides good encryption speed, although no effective cryptanalysis technique has been found to date. It is one of the first secure block ciphers that is not protected by any patents and is therefore freely available for anyone to use. This is a symmetric block cipher algorithm. Block size: 64 bits Key size: variable size from 32 to 448 bits number of subsections: 18 [P-array] number of rounds: 16 number of substitution blocks: 4 [each with 512 records of 32 bits each] develop  Example 1: Encryption and decryption using Blowfish import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException; import java.nio.charset.Charset; import java.security.InvalidKeyException; import java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException; import java.util.Base64; import javax.crypto.BadPaddingException; import javax.crypto.Cipher; import javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeExc
