Solving CDI Injection Issues for JSON Deserialized POJOs in Java Applications

If you're building a Java web application using Payara Microservice and you've come across the challenge of injecting a bean into your deserialized JSON object, you are not alone. Many developers encounter this problem when trying to implement additional logic while maintaining proper encapsulation in their code. In this post, we will explore a seamless solution to enable CDI bean injection within your JSON deserialized POJOs so you can perform complex operations without a hitch.

Understanding the Problem

Your resource class, which serves as the interface between your application and incoming requests, may look similar to this:

When a request comes in, you attempt to deserialize the JSON object into an instance of IncomingJsonRequest. However, inject a bean (such as AdditionalLogicClass) directly into this class poses a challenge. The main issue is that the CDI container is unaware of how to inject this bean during the instantiation of the request object.

This leads to a NullPointerException when trying to access any business logic methods using the injected bean, as it didn't receive a valid instance.

A Structured Solution

To achieve the desired injection of your CDI bean into the deserialized JSON object, we can adopt a programmatic approach while ensuring we maintain best practices.

Step 1: Define Your Resource Class

The resource class, which handles incoming requests, should remain clean and only apply necessary business logic. Here is an example:

Step 2: Create the Payload Class

In this class, we will programmatically inject the BusinessLogic bean. This is a crucial step because it allows you to back off from tightly coupling the resource class with logic responsibilities:

Step 3: Define the Business Logic Class

This is where your complex operations take place:

Step 4: Setting Up beans.xml

Make sure your beans.xml file is correctly set to ensure the CDI container can discover your beans:

Step 5: Test Your Endpoint

With everything set up correctly, you can now test your endpoint. Use tools such as Postman or curl to send a request to your application. Here’s an example of a curl command to test your implementation:

You should receive a response like:

This confirms that your logic is functioning correctly and that the CDI bean was successfully injected into the JSON deserialized object.

Conclusion

In summary, while injecting CDI beans directly into JSON deserialized POJOs can seem daunting, adopting a programmatic approach allows you to maintain clean separation of concerns and encapsulation in your application logic. By following this guide, you'll be able to enhance your Java application with clean, efficient, and correctly injected business logic.

Should there be any further ways to improve this setup or alternatives available, community discussions are always worth exploring. Happy coding!
