Kubernetes Kit Session Replication Debug Tool

To help make HTTP sessions fully serializable and deserializable, Kubernetes Kit offers a tool for discovering serialization issues during development.

Enabling the Debug Tool
Serialization Test Results

The debug tool is composed by three components working together:

an HTTP session replication tester which tries to serialize and deserialize the HTTP session;
a Vaadin RequestHandler that evaluates if the HTTP request produces UI changes and prepares the tester execution and the result notification on the UI notification, if server push is enabled;
an HTTP filter that runs the tester after the HTTP request has been processed.

Enabling the Debug Tool

The debug tool doesn’t work in production builds. During development, it works only if the following preconditions match:

vaadin.devmode.sessionSerialization.enabled application configuration property is true. Set it either in a properties file or in a YAML file.
```
vaadin.devmode.sessionSerialization.enabled=true
```
The sun.io.serialization.extendedDebugInfo system property is true and the JVM is started with the --add-opens java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED flag. The way you provide these depends on if you run your application with the Spring Boot Maven Plugin or by directly executing the application JAR.
You can define the configuration in the pom.xml file or as environment variables when you run the application from the command line.
```
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <jvmArguments>
        --add-opens java.base/java.io=ALL-UNNAMED
        -Dsun.io.serialization.extendedDebugInfo=true
        </jvmArguments>
    </configuration>
</plugin>
```

Caution

Potential side-effects from serialization when using extended debug info

The sun.io.serialization.extendedDebugInfo system property can be useful in making exception messages more verbose during serialization. The toString() method is used to represent serialized objects, and in rare cases this can cause issues which are not related to serialization. For example, with Hibernate, PersistentList.toString() forces initialization of the lazy loaded collection. If this happens without an active Hibernate session, an exception is thrown.

The debug tool is installed automatically on Spring Boot projects. Otherwise, you can install it manually. Configure the provided Service Init Listener, either by adding an entry in META-INF/services/VaadinServiceInitListener or by defining a bean if using the Vaadin Spring add-on. In addition, the HTTP filter must be registered, either as a Spring bean or with a ServletContextListener.

@Configuration
class AppConfig {

    @Bean
    VaadinServiceInitListener serializationDebugInitListener() {
        return new SerializationDebugRequestHandler.InitListener();
    }

    @Bean
    @Order(Integer.MIN_VALUE)
    FilterRegistrationBean<SerializationDebugRequestHandler.Filter> sessionSerializationDebugToolFilter() {
        return new FilterRegistrationBean<>(
                new SerializationDebugRequestHandler.Filter());
    }
}

Serialization Test Results

The results from the test are saved in the server logs, and include the following details:

Test process outcomes, for example SERIALIZATION_FAILED, DESERIALIZATION_FAILED, SUCCESS, etc.;
A list of unserializable classes;
An object class graph in case of deserialization errors; and
Potential causes of SerializedLambda ClassCastException.

Examples

Suppose you have an application that is not coded from the beginning to support session replication. With the Kubernetes Kit session replication debug tool in action, issues like the following can be spotted during development mode, by checking server logs.

For views directly or indirectly referencing unserializable objects, the classes causing issues are reported. Double check those classes, make them Serializable and then navigate to the view again to see if the issues are solved or if other problems have arisen.

To solve SerializedLambda class cast exceptions during deserialization, analyze the class graph from the bottom to the top and search for known classes. Check the BEST CANDIDATES sections to identify the failing lambda expression.

For example, on the above snippet when navigating to the application DashboardView, the process failed to deserialize a lambda expression into com.vaadin.flow.component.ComponentEventListener.

DESERIALIZATION_FAILED:
cannot assign instance of java.lang.invoke.SerializedLambda
to field com.vaadin.flow.component.ComponentEventBus$ListenerWrapper.listener
of type com.vaadin.flow.component.ComponentEventListener

Checking the BEST CANDIDATES section, it is possible to see that there is an entry whose capturingClass is DashboardView. The lambda captures a ChartLoadEvent. The method defining the lambda expression can be detected from the implementation attribute, that is measurePageLoadPerformance in DashboardView.

The mentioned method presents the following code, and it can be deduced that the problem is that the lambda expression is capturing this and providing it to other components that probably store a reference to it.

	private void measurePageLoadPerformance() {
		final int nTotal = 5; // the total number of charts on the page
		AtomicInteger nLoaded = new AtomicInteger();

To fix this issue, replace the lambda expression with an anonymous class.

ComponentEventListener<ChartLoadEvent> chartLoadListener = new ComponentEventListener<>() {
    @Override
    public void onComponentEvent(ChartLoadEvent event) {
        nLoaded.addAndGet(1);
        if (nLoaded.get() == nTotal) {
            UI.getCurrent().getPage().executeJs("$0._chartsLoadedResolve()", DashboardView.this);
        }
    }
};
