Re: Wicket 9 clustered sessions

2021-01-20 Thread Sven Meier

Hi,

>'org.apache.wicket.pageStore.InSessionPageStore' can not be asynchronous

yes, pages cannot be stored in the session asynchronously. Same holds 
for the old HttpSessionDataStore in Wicket 8.x.


>Adding this fixes the warning getStoreSettings().setAsynchronous(false);

Yes, that's the correct fix.

>Might this clustered use-case be common enough to justify adding another

As you've seen, there are many possible combinations for these page stores:

https://github.com/apache/wicket/blob/master/wicket-core/src/main/java/org/apache/wicket/DefaultPageManagerProvider.java#L43

I'm not sure which concrete combination would be *the* most appropriate 
for clustering.


Have fun

Thank you for your response.

I tried only overriding newPersistentStore() like this

 setPageManagerProvider(new DefaultPageManagerProvider(this) {
 @Override
 protected IPageStore newPersistentStore() {
 return new InSessionPageStore(20);
 }
 });

but get warnings like
WARN  o.a.w.p.AsynchronousPageStore - Delegated page store
'org.apache.wicket.pageStore.InSessionPageStore' can not be asynchronous

Adding this fixes the warning
getStoreSettings().setAsynchronous(false);

but looking at the DefaultPageManagerProvider chain:
RequestPageStore -> CachingPageStore -> SerializingPageStore
-> AsynchronousPageStore -> CryptingPageStore -> DiskPageStore

CachingPageStore wraps an InSessionPageStore of its own but I'm thinking
that is not useful when clustering - especially since I'm
using DeflatedJavaSerializer and want it invoked before storing in the
session. For clustering, maybe this makes more sense (assuming using
something like Spring Session)
RequestPageStore -> SerializingPageStore -> CryptingPageStore
-> InSessionPageStore

It seems like this does what I want but I need to test more.

 setPageManagerProvider(new DefaultPageManagerProvider(this) {
 @Override
 protected IPageStore newPersistentStore() {
 return new InSessionPageStore(20);
 }

 @Override
 protected IPageStore newCachingStore(IPageStore pageStore) {
 return pageStore;
 }

 @Override
 protected IPageStore newAsynchronousStore(IPageStore pageStore)
{
 return pageStore;
 }
 });

Might this clustered use-case be common enough to justify adding another
IPageManagerProvider implementation to Wicket with default behavior more
appropriate for clustering?

Thanks again

Overriding #newPersistentStore() should be enough:

@Override

My application uses

My Wicket 8 code is like

overriding DefaultPageManagerProvider is the correct approach, it would

Re: Checking preconditions/changes in models

2021-01-20 Thread Sven Meier

Hi Bas,

>E.g. do you handle exceptions within the model itself, or with a 
RequestCycleListener?


a requestCycleListener is my preferred solution:

- I've used Spring interceptors to wrap all exceptions from the service 
layer for easier identification of the origin of the problem

- check the current handler to differentiate between actions or rendering
- in case of actions check targeted component (e.g. use annotations to 
mark optional components)
- in case of rendering you can identify the failing component with 
Behavior#onException() (utilizing a ThreadLocal)

- inspect the stacktrace as last resort
- re-render the page and show a feedback message

On catching failure “when it happens”: can you explain what that looks like

I think the tricky part is handling exceptions thrown by models, unless I
guard every call to “getModelObject()” inside my components with a

Hi all,

First off: best wishes to everyone for 2021, and that we may all have fun
this year building stuff in Wicket!

I’m wondering how others implement the following requirement…

Suppose a page has a model backed by something stored in the session or
database (e.g. an e-commerce basket page or checkout).
When the user opens multiple tabs (with different instances of the page),
either page can become “outdated” with regards to the actual data.

E.g. in Tab A the customer removes a product.

When the users then tries to update the quantity of that product in Tab

B,

it can lead to a variety of runtime exceptions:
For example: Basket items are rendered with a repeater; If the # items in
the basket changes, rows may reference non-existant items (either by
database ID or by list index in the basket rows).

This sort of problem appears in various shapes and forms when a page
references data that may change independent from the page itself.

Over the years I have attempted to fix this in three ways:

1. Catch RTEs/Exceptions and re-render page (works OK); But suppose a
ListView is used, this also needs to handle things like
IndexOutOfBoundsException (thrown from inside ListItemModel) /
EntityNotFoundException / NullPointerException. Feels cluttered and
“cleaning up after the fact” instead of preventing the RTE in the first
place.
2. Check preconditions in page’s onConfigure(). Mixed results,
preconditions not always checked before action is executed (e.g. ajax

link

click, form submit). So leads to finding more spots to check for
preconditions, e.g. Form#process
3. Wrap models with decorating models at the page level that check
preconditions; E.g. BasketNotEmptyModel; Usually combined with

specialized

subclass of Form which manages transaction and commit/rollback

Of all these ways I prefer option 3 nowadays, as this is a close to the
“root” of the problem as possible: at the point where the data is

accessed.

Since such models are always caching models (LDM), the overhead is

minimal

(called once or twice per request).
Another advantage is that all components in the page point to the parent
model, which means preconditions are always checked for any component on
the page.

When using JPA we can even do a simple check for the entity “last

modified”

or version, to ensure that the entity did not change between requests.

However, I’m evaluating which variant I will use from now on in projects
(to standardize) and am wondering how others handle this.

Any input/feedback is highly appreciated!

Kind regards,

Bas
