Including Java agent in standalone Spring Boot application

Recently at DevSKiller.com we've decided to move majority of our stuff to simple containers. It was pretty easy due to use of Spring Boot uber-jars, but the problem was in NewRelic agents which should have to be included separately. That caused uncomfortable situation so we decided to solve it by including NewRelic agent into our uber-jar applications. If you also want to simplify your life please follow provided instructions :)

At first we have to add proper dependency into our pom.xml descriptor:
<dependency> <groupiId>com.newrelic.agent.java<<groupId> <artifactId>newrelic-agent</artifactId> <version>3.12.1</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>

Understanding the first level JPA cache

I can bet that every Java developer at least heard about L1 (aka EntityManager or Session) cache. But is your level of understanding it good enough? If you're not sure, consider going through this post.

At first, we need to know what the persistence context is. Following EntityManager JavaDoc we know, that:
"A persistence context is a set of entity instances in which for any persistent entity identity there is a unique entity instance. Within the persistence context, the entity instances and their lifecycle are managed." 
In fact, the first level cache is the same as the persistence context. That means operations such as persist(), merge(), remove() are changing only internal collections in the context and are not synchronized to the underlying database. What is the mosts important here is what happens when you invoke the clear() method. It clears the L1 cache. But we know L1 == persistence context. Does it mean clearing L1 removes all entities? In fact yes - all entities…

Understanding Spring Web Initialization

Few years ago majority of us were used to write XML config files everywhere, to setup even simple Java EE application. Today using Java or Groovy to configure projects is becoming preferred way - you just need to take a look at Gradle or functionalities introduced in further versions of the Spring Framework to gen up on this.

Now I'll deal with configuring Spring contexts for web application.

Java EE provides ServletContainerInitializer interface, which allows libraries to be notified of a web application startup. Since Spring 3.1 we have SpringServletContainerInitializer class which handles WebApplicationInitializer by instantiating all found classes implementing this interface, sorting them basing on @Order annotation (non-annotated classes gets the highest possible order, so they are processed at the end) and invoking onStartup() method.
