Introduction

This application is intended to run inside of a Java EE application server such as JBoss Wildfly. It demonstrates Spring Boot’s auto-configuration defaulting for a container-managed TransactionManager and DataSource. This example unfortunately requires a fully configured Wildfly installation. You’ll need to configure a PostgreSQL XA DataSource and an XA ConnectionFactory in the Java EE application server’s JNDI machinery.

Setup

Postgres

We will use postgres as the underlying database, v9.3.5 or above is recommend. Follow the installation instructions from postgresql.org or use a package manager to install the appropriate binaries.

Once installed you will need to initialize and start the server.

$ initdb /usr/local/var/postgres -E utf8
$ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start

With the server running you can create a user and a database:

$ createuser springboot
$ createdb bootdemo

Finally you can type psql bootdemo to configure a password:

ALTER USER springboot WITH PASSWORD 'springboot';
\q

WildFly 8.1

Download an install WildFly 8.1 from wildfly.org. Once installed you will need to add a management user by running $JBOSS_HOME/bin/add-user.sh (see the WildFly documentation for details).

You will also need to add a postgresql module. The following commands setup the basic structure:

$ cd $JBOSS_HOME
mkdir -p modules/org/postgresql/main
wget http://jdbc.postgresql.org/download/postgresql-9.3-1102.jdbc41.jar
mv postgresql-9.3-1102.jdbc41.jar modules/org/postgresql/main

You can then add the following to $JBOSS_HOME/modules/org/postgresql/main/module.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" name="org.postgresql">
	<resources>
		<resource-root path="postgresql-9.3-1102.jdbc41.jar"/>
	</resources>
	<dependencies>
		<module name="javax.api"/>
		<module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
	</dependencies>
	</module>

Configuration

A custom WildFly configuration is required for the XA DataSource and ConnectionFactory elements. The $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-full.xml is a good starting point, copy this file to $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone-boot-demo.xml then make the following changes.

DataSource

You need to register a PostgreSQL XA Driver and then configure an xa-datasource.

Here’s a complete listing of the xa-datasource contribution to the datasources element, and the driver contribution to the drivers element to configure a PostgreSQL DB connection to localhost. You can learn more from the documentation.

<datasources>
	...
	<xa-datasource
			jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/bootdemo"
			pool-name="CrmXADS"
			enabled="true">
		<xa-datasource-property name="url">jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/crm</xa-datasource-property>
		<driver>postgres</driver>
		<xa-pool>
			<min-pool-size>10</min-pool-size>
			<max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
			<prefill>true</prefill>
		</xa-pool>
		<security>
			<user-name>springboot</user-name>
			<password>springboot</password>
		</security>
	</xa-datasource>
	<drivers>
		...
		<driver name="postgres" module="org.postgresql">
			<xa-datasource-class>org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>
		</driver>
	</drivers>
</datasources>

JMS Destination

You will also need to configure a javax.jms.Destination by contributing the following to the hornetq-server element:

<jms-destinations>
	<jms-queue name="accounts">
		<entry name="java:/jms/queue/bootdemo"/>
	</jms-queue>
	...
</jms-destinations>

Running and deploying the sample

Run Wildfly with the following command:

$JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -c standalone-boot-demo.xml

Once running you can deploy the application by copying target/spring-boot-sample-jta-jndi.war to $JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments.

Open a browser to http://localhost:8080/spring-boot-sample-jta-jndi to trigger the sample. You should see the current count (it will increment by one on each refresh). If you check the logs you should see a ---→ Josh message and some counts. Notice how the error message triggers an exception with causes both the database insert and the JMS message to be rolled back.
