## Legacy Java Maintenance

### Spring Framework Optimization
```java
// Legacy Spring XML to Java Config Migration
// Before: applicationContext.xml
/*
<bean id="userService" class="com.company.service.UserServiceImpl">
    <property name="userRepository" ref="userRepository"/>
    <property name="emailService" ref="emailService"/>
</bean>
*/

// After: Java Configuration
@Configuration
@EnableJpaRepositories(basePackages = "com.company.repository")
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.company")
public class ApplicationConfig {

    @Bean
    @Scope("singleton")
    public UserService userService(UserRepository userRepository,
                                 EmailService emailService) {
        UserServiceImpl service = new UserServiceImpl();
        service.setUserRepository(userRepository);
        service.setEmailService(emailService);
        return service;
    }

    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() {
        HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
        config.setJdbcUrl(environment.getProperty("db.url"));
        config.setUsername(environment.getProperty("db.username"));
        config.setPassword(environment.getProperty("db.password"));
        config.setMaximumPoolSize(20);
        config.setMinimumIdle(5);
        config.setConnectionTimeout(30000);
        return new HikariDataSource(config);
    }
}

// Modernized Service Implementation
@Service
@Transactional
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

    private final UserRepository userRepository;
    private final EmailService emailService;
    private final CacheManager cacheManager;

    public UserServiceImpl(UserRepository userRepository,
                          EmailService emailService,
                          CacheManager cacheManager) {
        this.userRepository = userRepository;
        this.emailService = emailService;
        this.cacheManager = cacheManager;
    }

    @Override
    @Cacheable(value = "users", key = "#userId")
    public User findById(Long userId) {
        return userRepository.findById(userId)
            .orElseThrow(() -> new UserNotFoundException("User not found: " + userId));
    }

    @Override
    @Transactional
    @CacheEvict(value = "users", key = "#user.id")
    public User updateUser(User user) {
        validateUser(user);
        User updatedUser = userRepository.save(user);

        // Async email notification
        CompletableFuture.runAsync(() ->
            emailService.sendUserUpdateNotification(updatedUser));

        return updatedUser;
    }

    private void validateUser(User user) {
        if (user == null || StringUtils.isBlank(user.getEmail())) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("User and email are required");
        }
    }
}
```

### Legacy JDBC to JPA Migration
```java
// Legacy JDBC Implementation
public class LegacyUserDao {
    private final DataSource dataSource;

    public User findById(Long id) {
        String sql = "SELECT id, username, email, created_date FROM users WHERE id = ?";

        try (Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection();
             PreparedStatement stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql)) {

            stmt.setLong(1, id);
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery();

            if (rs.next()) {
                User user = new User();
                user.setId(rs.getLong("id"));
                user.setUsername(rs.getString("username"));
                user.setEmail(rs.getString("email"));
                user.setCreatedDate(rs.getTimestamp("created_date").toLocalDateTime());
                return user;
            }
            return null;
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            throw new DataAccessException("Error finding user", e);
        }
    }
}

// Modernized JPA Implementation
@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
@NamedQuery(
    name = "User.findByEmailDomain",
    query = "SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.email LIKE CONCAT('%@', :domain)"
)
public class User {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    @Column(name = "username", nullable = false, unique = true)
    private String username;

    @Column(name = "email", nullable = false)
    @Email
    private String email;

    @Column(name = "created_date", nullable = false)
    private LocalDateTime createdDate;

    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "user", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    private List<UserRole> roles = new ArrayList<>();

    @PrePersist
    public void prePersist() {
        if (createdDate == null) {
            createdDate = LocalDateTime.now();
        }
    }

    // Getters and setters
}

@Repository
public interface UserRepository extends JpaRepository<User, Long> {

    @Query("SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.email = :email")
    Optional<User> findByEmail(@Param("email") String email);

    @Query("SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.createdDate >= :startDate")
    List<User> findUsersCreatedAfter(@Param("startDate") LocalDateTime startDate);

    @Modifying
    @Query("UPDATE User u SET u.email = :newEmail WHERE u.id = :userId")
    int updateUserEmail(@Param("userId") Long userId, @Param("newEmail") String newEmail);
}
```

## Legacy .NET Maintenance

## Legacy Integration Patterns

### SOAP to REST API Bridge
```java
// Legacy SOAP Service Client
@Component
public class LegacyOrderServiceClient {

    private final OrderServiceSoap orderServiceSoap;

    public LegacyOrderServiceClient() {
        try {

        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to initialize SOAP client", e);
        }
    }

    public OrderResponse createOrder(OrderRequest request) {
        try {
            // Convert REST request to SOAP request
            CreateOrderSoapRequest soapRequest = new CreateOrderSoapRequest();
            soapRequest.setCustomerId(request.getCustomerId());
            soapRequest.setItems(convertToSoapItems(request.getItems()));

                .totalAmount(soapResponse.getTotalAmount())
                .estimatedDelivery(soapResponse.getEstimatedDelivery())
                .build();

        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new ServiceException("Failed to create order via legacy service", e);
        }
    }

    private List<SoapOrderItem> convertToSoapItems(List<OrderItem> items) {
        return items.stream()
            .map(item -> {

                return soapItem;
            })
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
    }
}

// Modern REST API Facade
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1/orders")
@Validated
public class OrderController {

    private final LegacyOrderServiceClient legacyOrderService;
    private final OrderValidationService validationService;
    private final CircuitBreaker circuitBreaker;

    public OrderController(LegacyOrderServiceClient legacyOrderService,
                          OrderValidationService validationService,

        this.legacyOrderService = legacyOrderService;
        this.validationService = validationService;
        this.circuitBreaker = circuitBreaker;
    }

    @PostMapping
    @ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.CREATED)
    public ResponseEntity<OrderResponse> createOrder(@Valid @RequestBody OrderRequest request) {

        // Validate request
        validationService.validate(request);

        // Use circuit breaker for legacy service calls
        OrderResponse response = circuitBreaker.executeSupplier(() ->
            legacyOrderService.createOrder(request));

        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.CREATED)
            .header("Location", "/api/v1/orders/" + response.getOrderId())

### Database Integration Pattern
```java
// Legacy Database Access with Modern Patterns

## Security Hardening

### Legacy Authentication Modernization
```java

    }

    @Bean
    public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {

## Performance Optimization

### Database Query Optimization
```java
// Legacy N+1 Query Problem Fix
@Repository
public class OptimizedOrderRepository {

    private final EntityManager entityManager;

## Monitoring and Observability

### Legacy Application Monitoring
```java
// Custom Metrics for Legacy Applications
@Component
public class LegacySystemHealthIndicator implements HealthIndicator {

    private final LegacyDatabaseConnectionPool legacyDbPool;
    private final LegacyMessageQueueClient legacyMqClient;
    private final MeterRegistry meterRegistry;

    public LegacySystemHealthIndicator(LegacyDatabaseConnectionPool legacyDbPool,
                                     LegacyMessageQueueClient legacyMqClient,
                                     MeterRegistry meterRegistry) {
        this.legacyDbPool = legacyDbPool;
        this.legacyMqClient = legacyMqClient;
        this.meterRegistry = meterRegistry;

        // Register custom metrics
        Gauge.builder("legacy.db.connections.active")
            .register(meterRegistry, legacyDbPool, LegacyDatabaseConnectionPool::getActiveConnections);

        Gauge.builder("legacy.db.connections.idle")
            .register(meterRegistry, legacyDbPool, LegacyDatabaseConnectionPool::getIdleConnections);
    }

    @Override
    public Health health() {
        Health.Builder builder = new Health.Builder();

        // Check legacy database connectivity
        try {
            if (legacyDbPool.isHealthy()) {
                builder.up().withDetail("legacyDatabase", "Connected");
            } else {
                builder.down().withDetail("legacyDatabase", "Connection pool unhealthy");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            builder.down().withDetail("legacyDatabase", e.getMessage());
        }

        // Check legacy message queue connectivity
        try {
            if (legacyMqClient.isConnected()) {
                builder.withDetail("legacyMessageQueue", "Connected");
            } else {
                builder.down().withDetail("legacyMessageQueue", "Disconnected");
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            builder.down().withDetail("legacyMessageQueue", e.getMessage());
        }

        return builder.build();
    }
}

// Performance Monitoring Aspect
@Aspect
@Component
public class LegacyPerformanceMonitoringAspect {

    private final MeterRegistry meterRegistry;
    private final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass());

    @Around("@annotation(MonitorLegacyPerformance)")
    public Object monitorPerformance(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
        String methodName = joinPoint.getSignature().toShortString();
        Timer.Sample sample = Timer.start(meterRegistry);

        try {
            Object result = joinPoint.proceed();

            sample.stop(Timer.builder("legacy.method.execution.time")
                .tag("method", methodName)
                .tag("status", "success")
                .register(meterRegistry));

            return result;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            sample.stop(Timer.builder("legacy.method.execution.time")
                .tag("method", methodName)
                .tag("status", "error")
                .register(meterRegistry));

            meterRegistry.counter("legacy.method.errors",
                "method", methodName,
                "exception", e.getClass().getSimpleName())
                .increment();

            logger.error("Legacy method execution failed: {}", methodName, e);
            throw e;
        }
    }
}
```

## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid

- **Big Bang Migrations**: Attempting to migrate entire systems at once
- **Ignoring Technical Debt**: Not addressing underlying architectural issues
- **Poor Integration Patterns**: Direct database access between systems
- **Inadequate Testing**: Not testing legacy integrations thoroughly
- **Missing Documentation**: Not documenting discovered legacy system behavior
- **Performance Degradation**: Not monitoring performance during modernization
- **Security Vulnerabilities**: Not updating security practices during maintenance
- **Vendor Lock-in**: Creating dependencies on legacy vendor-specific solutions

## Delivery Standards

Every legacy maintenance deliverable must include:
1. **Comprehensive Documentation**: System architecture, business rules, and dependencies
2. **Security Assessment**: Vulnerability analysis and remediation plan
3. **Performance Baseline**: Current performance metrics and optimization targets
4. **Integration Strategy**: Clear API contracts and data migration plans
5. **Testing Coverage**: Legacy system behavior validation and regression tests
6. **Modernization Roadmap**: Phased approach to system modernization

Focus on maintaining stability while gradually modernizing legacy systems, ensuring business continuity throughout the transformation process.
