Overview

This is a brief guide on how to install the REST service (rator-rest-api project and rator-rest-api-auth project). A customer rest project involves deploying three artifacts:

  • authentication project (war) - this is called in order to obtain an authentication token.
  • core REST services (war) - this contains core REST services, but in a customer project context(customer project dependencies).
  • customer REST services (war) - this contains customer REST services with customer project dependencies.

...

The reason behind this structure is to allow versioning of the projects.

The document also describes how to deploy the third-party documentation service called Swagger UI. This is not required for the REST service to work, but provides useful documentation.

Install Tomcat 7

A Tomcat must be installed on your environment. 

Info

Make sure to use Apache Tomcat version 7.X.X as version 8 and above does not respect class path order (on which the Rator code relies).

Installation

Info

If you are developing from Eclipse, and deploying to a local Tomcat installation, Eclipse automatically handles build and deployment. See fx the Tomcat-section of this guide.

...

  1. Retrieve the rator-rest-api .war file (either from Jenkins/Nexus, see Resources, or by building the .war yourself, see Build).
  2. Retrieve the rator-rest-api-auth.war file (either from Jenkins/Nexus, see Resources, or by building the .war yourself, see Build).
  3. Copy the war files to the Tomcat webapps directory and (re-)start the Tomcat application.
  4. Retrieve the swagger-ui dist folder (either from Github, or from our own repositories, see Resources. Or by building the project yourself, see Build).
  5. Copy the dist folder to the Tomcat webapps directory and (re-)start the Tomcat application. You probably want to rename the dist folder to swagger-ui
    1. Nb This can be a different Tomcat installation than in step 2, or the same.
  6. In your browser, enter the URL "http://<Swagger server and port>/<base-path>/?url=http://<REST server and port>/<base-path>/api/swagger.json". 
  7. You should now see a list of the resources available on the REST server.
  8. In order to access secure resources through swagger-ui, one additional parameter must be configured in the Properties.txt file:
     

    Code Block
    languagesql
    titleoauth2 selfcare client
    rest.api.accessTokenUri=http://<host>:<port/<auth-app-context>/oauth/token #example: http://10.45.1.81:8081/rator-rest-api-auth/oauth/token


...

Compatibility matrix
rator-rest-apiSwagger UI
1.02.1.1
3.0.1-SNAPSHOT3.20.0

Database Setup

  1. Run table_changes.sql
  2. Configure REST api clients - who is allowed to get security tokens in order to access resources that require authentication/authorization. Here are some examples:

    Code Block
    languagesql
    titleoauth2 selfcare client
    Insert into OAUTH_CLIENT_DETAILS
       (CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, SCOPE, AUTHORIZED_GRANT_TYPES, ACCESS_TOKEN_VALIDITY, REFRESH_TOKEN_VALIDITY, AUTHORITIES)
     Values
       ('rator-selfcare-web-app', 'ratorselfcare', 'read,write', 'password', 600, 0, 'ACCESS_BRAND_brandKey'); --replace brandKey with a valid brand in the setup

    Note: Swagger-ui client should only be used in development environments!

    Code Block
    titleoauth2 swagger-ui client
    Insert into OAUTH_CLIENT_DETAILS
       (CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET, SCOPE, AUTHORIZED_GRANT_TYPES, ACCESS_TOKEN_VALIDITY, AUTOAPPROVE, AUTHORITIES)
     Values
       ('your-client-id', 'your-client-secret', 'read-write:api-doc', 'password,operator_password,client_credentials', 
        600, 'true', 'ACCESS_BRAND_brandKey'); --replace brandKey with a valid brand in the setup

Verify Deployment

In your browser, enter the URL:

...

If 404 errors are returned from the server, when accessing the deployed services, you must either modify the base path, or modify the URL accordingly. If you are deploying from Eclipse, you may want to specify the base path on the modules sub-pane of the server pane. 


Resources

Source code is available both in our SVN repository, in Jenkins and in Nexus (where our Jenkins build deploys to).

The artifacts to deploy (the REST application and Swagger UI) can either be produced manually from source code (see below - Installation guide), downloaded from Nexus, or retrieved from Jenkins.

SVN/GIT

Please notice that the Swagger UI web service is not a Java project, but a collection of HTML, Javascript and CSS. 

Jenkins

Jobs are set up to do continuous integration. The artifacts produced from a build are placed in the given job's "Workspace" (Arbejdsområde) page, in the folder "target":

Nexus

Jenkins jobs are configured to deploy to Nexus. On Nexus, both the source code and the artifacts produced from the build are found.

Build

This paragraph contains information about how to "manually" build the referenced projects from terminal (Mostly of interest to developers).

...

You can build the artifacts yourself. Notice that the Swagger UI is not a Java project, for which reason its build procedure is different than the REST application.

rator-rest-api

  1. Check out the source code (See the Resources paragraph above)
  2. Create the artifact: mvn clean package
  3. You should now have a rator-rest-api-bootstrap-<version>.war file in the target folder.

 

rator-rest-api-auth

  1. Check out the source code (See the Resources paragraph above)
  2. Create the artifact: mvn clean package
  3. You should now have a rator-rest-api-auth-<version>.war file in the target folder.

...

Developers working with the dependent project rator-core-api, should likewise be aware that this is a Java 8 application.

Swagger UI

Refer to http://swagger.io/swagger-ui/, or follow the steps below for building locally (in case the default build from github does not suit the needs).
