Customize Spring Social Connect Framework For MongoDB

In my previous post, I talked about the first challenge I had was to change the data model and add the connection framework. Here I want to give more details about how I did it. Spring Social project already provides a jdbc based connection repository implementation to persist user connection data into a relational database. However, I’m using MongoDB, so I need to customize the code, and I found it is relatively easy to do it. The user connection data will be saved as the object of UserSocialConnection, it is a MongoDB document:

@SuppressWarnings('serial')
@Document(collection = 'UserSocialConnection')
public class UserSocialConnection extends BaseEntity {
    private String userId;
    private String providerId;
    private String providerUserId;
    private String displayName;
    private String profileUrl;
    private String imageUrl;
    private String accessToken;
    private String secret;
    private String refreshToken;
    private Long expireTime;
 
    //Getter/Setter omitted.
 
    public UserSocialConnection() {
        super();
    }
 
    public UserSocialConnection(String userId, String providerId, String providerUserId, int rank,
            String displayName, String profileUrl, String imageUrl, String accessToken, String secret,
            String refreshToken, Long expireTime) {
        super();
        this.userId = userId;
        this.providerId = providerId;
        this.providerUserId = providerUserId;
        this.displayName = displayName;
        this.profileUrl = profileUrl;
        this.imageUrl = imageUrl;
        this.accessToken = accessToken;
        this.secret = secret;
        this.refreshToken = refreshToken;
        this.expireTime = expireTime;
    }
}

BaseEntity just has ‘id’. With the help of the Spring Data project, I don’t need to write any code of CRUD operations for UserSocialConnection, just extend MongoRepository:

public interface UserSocialConnectionRepository extends MongoRepository<UserSocialConnection, String>{
    List<UserSocialConnection> findByUserId(String userId);
 
    List<UserSocialConnection> findByUserIdAndProviderId(String userId, String providerId);
 
    List<UserSocialConnection> findByProviderIdAndProviderUserId(String providerId, String providerUserId);
 
    UserSocialConnection findByUserIdAndProviderIdAndProviderUserId(String userId, String providerId, String providerUserId);
 
    List<UserSocialConnection> findByProviderIdAndProviderUserIdIn(String providerId, Collection<String> providerUserIds);
}

After we have our database UserSocialConnectionRepository, we will implement Spring Social required ConnectionRepository and UsersConnectionRepository. I just copied the code from JdbcConnectionRepository and JdbcUsersConnectionRepository, and created my own MongoConnectionRepository and MongoUsersConnectionRepository.

public class MongoUsersConnectionRepository implements UsersConnectionRepository{
 
    private final UserSocialConnectionRepository userSocialConnectionRepository;
 
    private final SocialAuthenticationServiceLocator socialAuthenticationServiceLocator;
 
    private final TextEncryptor textEncryptor;
 
    private ConnectionSignUp connectionSignUp;
 
    public MongoUsersConnectionRepository(UserSocialConnectionRepository userSocialConnectionRepository, 
            SocialAuthenticationServiceLocator socialAuthenticationServiceLocator, TextEncryptor textEncryptor){
        this.userSocialConnectionRepository = userSocialConnectionRepository;
        this.socialAuthenticationServiceLocator = socialAuthenticationServiceLocator;
        this.textEncryptor = textEncryptor;
    }
 
    /**
     * The command to execute to create a new local user profile in the event no user id could be mapped to a connection.
     * Allows for implicitly creating a user profile from connection data during a provider sign-in attempt.
     * Defaults to null, indicating explicit sign-up will be required to complete the provider sign-in attempt.
     * @see #findUserIdsWithConnection(Connection)
     */
    public void setConnectionSignUp(ConnectionSignUp connectionSignUp) {
        this.connectionSignUp = connectionSignUp;
    }
 
    public List<String> findUserIdsWithConnection(Connection<?> connection) {
        ConnectionKey key = connection.getKey();
        List<UserSocialConnection> userSocialConnectionList = 
                this.userSocialConnectionRepository.findByProviderIdAndProviderUserId(key.getProviderId(), key.getProviderUserId());
        List<String> localUserIds = new ArrayList<String>();
        for (UserSocialConnection userSocialConnection : userSocialConnectionList){
            localUserIds.add(userSocialConnection.getUserId());
        }
 
        if (localUserIds.size() == 0 && connectionSignUp != null) {
            String newUserId = connectionSignUp.execute(connection);
            if (newUserId != null)
            {
                createConnectionRepository(newUserId).addConnection(connection);
                return Arrays.asList(newUserId);
            }
        }
        return localUserIds;
    }
 
    public Set<String> findUserIdsConnectedTo(String providerId, Set<String> providerUserIds) {
        final Set<String> localUserIds = new HashSet<String>();
 
        List<UserSocialConnection> userSocialConnectionList = 
                this.userSocialConnectionRepository.findByProviderIdAndProviderUserIdIn(providerId, providerUserIds);
        for (UserSocialConnection userSocialConnection : userSocialConnectionList){
            localUserIds.add(userSocialConnection.getUserId());
        }
        return localUserIds;
    }
 
    public ConnectionRepository createConnectionRepository(String userId) {
        if (userId == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException('userId cannot be null');
        }
        return new MongoConnectionRepository(userId, userSocialConnectionRepository, socialAuthenticationServiceLocator, textEncryptor);
    }
 
}

MongoUsersConnectionRepository is pretty much exactly like JdbcUsersConnectionRepository. But for MongoConnectionRepository, I needed to make some changes:

public class MongoConnectionRepository implements ConnectionRepository {
 
    private final String userId;
 
    private final UserSocialConnectionRepository userSocialConnectionRepository;
 
    private final SocialAuthenticationServiceLocator socialAuthenticationServiceLocator;
 
    private final TextEncryptor textEncryptor;
 
    public MongoConnectionRepository(String userId, UserSocialConnectionRepository userSocialConnectionRepository,
            SocialAuthenticationServiceLocator socialAuthenticationServiceLocator, TextEncryptor textEncryptor) {
        this.userId = userId;
        this.userSocialConnectionRepository = userSocialConnectionRepository;
        this.socialAuthenticationServiceLocator = socialAuthenticationServiceLocator;
        this.textEncryptor = textEncryptor;
    }
 
    public MultiValueMap<String, Connection<?>> findAllConnections() {
        List<UserSocialConnection> userSocialConnectionList = this.userSocialConnectionRepository
                .findByUserId(userId);
 
        MultiValueMap<String, Connection<?>> connections = new LinkedMultiValueMap<String, Connection<?>>();
        Set<String> registeredProviderIds = socialAuthenticationServiceLocator.registeredProviderIds();
        for (String registeredProviderId : registeredProviderIds) {
            connections.put(registeredProviderId, Collections.<Connection<?>> emptyList());
        }
        for (UserSocialConnection userSocialConnection : userSocialConnectionList) {
            String providerId = userSocialConnection.getProviderId();
            if (connections.get(providerId).size() == 0) {
                connections.put(providerId, new LinkedList<Connection<?>>());
            }
            connections.add(providerId, buildConnection(userSocialConnection));
        }
        return connections;
    }
 
    public List<Connection<?>> findConnections(String providerId) {
        List<Connection<?>> resultList = new LinkedList<Connection<?>>();
        List<UserSocialConnection> userSocialConnectionList = this.userSocialConnectionRepository
                .findByUserIdAndProviderId(userId, providerId);
        for (UserSocialConnection userSocialConnection : userSocialConnectionList) {
            resultList.add(buildConnection(userSocialConnection));
        }
        return resultList;
    }
 
    @SuppressWarnings('unchecked')

    public MultiValueMap<String, Connection<?>> findConnectionsToUsers(MultiValueMap<String, String> providerUsers) {

            String providerId = entry.getKey();
            List<String> providerUserIds = entry.getValue();
            List<UserSocialConnection> userSocialConnections = 
                    this.userSocialConnectionRepository.findByProviderIdAndProviderUserIdIn(providerId, providerUserIds);
            List<Connection<?>> connections = new ArrayList<Connection<?>>(providerUserIds.size());
            for (int i = 0; i < providerUserIds.size(); i++) {
                connections.add(null);
            }
            connectionsForUsers.put(providerId, connections);

    }
 
    private String decrypt(String encryptedText) {
        return encryptedText != null ? textEncryptor.decrypt(encryptedText) : encryptedText;
    }
 
}

First, I replaced JdbcTemplate with UserSocialConnectionRepository to retrieve UserSocialConnection objects from the database. Then replaced ConnectionFactoryLocator with SocialAuthenticationServiceLocator from spring-social-security module. A big change is in the addConnection method (highlighted above), where it checks connection cardinality first. If connectionCardinality of socialAuthenticationService is ONE_TO_ONE (which means one userId with one and only one pair of providerId/providerUserId), or ONE_TO_MANY (which means one userId can connect to one or many providerId/providerUserId, but one pair of providerId/providerUserId can only connect to one userId).

After all those customizations, the final step is to glue them together in spring config:

accountService is my own user account service to provide account related functions, and it implements SocialUserDetailsService, UserDetailsService, UserIdExtractor.

There are still many areas to improve, such as refactoring MongoConnectionRepository and MongoUsersConnectionRepository to have an abstract social connection repository implementation using Spring Data Repository interface. And I found someone already has raised an issue for that: Leverage Spring Data for UsersConnectionRepository.
