Part I: How we got here ?


How We Got Here?

•  Shortest intro to JAX-RS 1.0
•  Requested features for JAX-RS 2.0
•  JSR 339: JAX-RS 2.0


JAX-RS Origins

•  JAX-RS 1.0 is Java API for RESTful WS
•  RESTFul Principles:
–  Assign everything an ID
–  Link things together
–  Use common set of methods
–  Allow multiple representations
–  Stateless communications


JAX-RS 1.0 Goals

•  POJO-Based API
•  HTTP Centric
•  Format Independence
•  Container Independence
•  Inclusion in Java EE


Example: JAX-RS API
Resources

@Path("/atm/{cardId}") URI Parameter
public class AtmService { Injection

@GET @Path("/balance")
@Produces("text/plain")
public String balance(@PathParam("cardId") String card,
@QueryParam("pin") String pin) {
return Double.toString(getBalance(card, pin));
}

…

HTTP Method Built-in
Binding Serialization


Example: JAX-RS API (contd.)
… Custom Serialization

@POST @Path("/withdrawal")
@Consumes("text/plain")
@Produces("application/json")
public Money withdraw(@PathParam("card") String card,
@QueryParam("pin") String pin,
String amount){
return getMoney(card, pin, amount);
}
}

Motivation

•  HTTP client libraries too low level
•  Sharing features with JAX-RS server API
•  E.g., MBRs and MBWs

•  Supported by some JAX-RS 1.0 implementations
•  Need for a standard


Client API

Resource Target
Client Factory Client
“atm”

Configuration Resource Target
Configuration
Configuration “{cardId}”

Resource Target Resource Target
Invocation Request Builder
“balance” “withdrawal”

Response


Example: Client API

// Get instance of Client
Client client = ClientFactory.newClient();

Can also inject @URI for the target ß

// Get account balance
String bal = client.target("http://.../atm/balance")
.pathParam("card", "111122223333")
.queryParam("pin", "9876")
.request("text/plain").get(String.class);


Example: Client API (contd.)

// Withdraw some money
Money mon = client.target("http://.../atm/withdraw")
.pathParam("card", "111122223333")
.queryParam("pin", "9876")
.request("application/json")
.post(text("50.0"), Money.class);


Example: Generic Interface (Command pattern,
Batch processing)
Invocation inv1 =
client.target("http://.../atm/balance")…
.request(“text/plain”).buildGet();

Invocation inv2 =
client.target("http://.../atm/withdraw")…
.request("application/json")
.buildPost(text("50.0"));


Example: Generic Interface (contd.)

Collection<Invocation> invs =
Arrays.asList(inv1, inv2);

Collection<Response> ress =
Collections.transform(invs,
new F<Invocation, Response>() {
public Response apply(Invocation inv) {
return inv.invoke();
}
});


Example: Configuration
// Get client and register MyProvider1
Client client = ClientFactory.newClient();
client.configuration().register(MyProvider1.class);

// Create atm and register MyProvider2
// Inherits MyProvider1 from client
Target atm = client.target("http://.../atm");
atm.configuration().register(MyProvider2.class);

// Create balance and register MyProvider3
// Inherits MyProvider1, MyProvider2 from atm
Target balance = atm.path("balance"); // new instance
balance.configuration().register(MyProvider3.class);

Motivation

•  Customize JAX-RS implementations via well-defined
extension points
•  Use Cases: Logging, Compression, Security, Etc.
•  Shared by client and server APIs
•  Supported by most JAX-RS 1.0 implementations
•  All using slightly different types or semantics


Filters

•  Non-wrapping extension points
•  Pre: Interface RequestFilter
•  Post: Interface ResponseFilter

•  Part of a filter chain
•  Do not call the next filter directly
•  Each filter decides to proceed or break chain
•  By returning FilterAction.NEXT or FilterAction.STOP


Filter Example: LoggingFilter
@Provider
class LoggingFilter
implements RequestFilter, ResponseFilter {

@Override
public FilterAction preFilter(FilterContext ctx)
throws IOException {
logRequest(ctx.getRequest());
return FilterAction.NEXT;
}

…


Filter Example: LoggingFilter (contd.)

@Override
public FilterAction postFilter(FilterContext ctx)
logResponse(ctx.getResponse());
return FilterAction.NEXT;
}

}


Interceptors

•  Wrapping extension points
•  ReadFrom: Interface ReaderInterceptor
•  WriteTo: Interface WriterInterceptor

•  Part of a interceptor chain
•  Call the next handler directly
•  Each handler decides to proceed or break chain
•  By calling ctx.proceed()


Handler Example: GzipInterceptor
@Provider
class GzipInterceptor implements ReaderInterceptor,
WriterInterceptor {

@Override
public Object aroundreadFrom(ReadInterceptorContext ctx)
if (gzipEncoded(ctx)) {
InputStream old = ctx.getInputStream();
ctx.setInputStream(new GZIPInputStream(old));
}
return ctx.proceed();
}
… }

Order of execution

Request WriteTo Request ReadFrom
Filter Handler Filter Handler

ReadFrom Response WriteTo Response
Handler Filter Handler Filter

Client Server


Binding

•  Associating filters and handlers with resource methods
•  Same mechanism for filters and handlers

Name Binding Global Binding

@NameBinding/
Static DEFAULT
@Qualifier?

DynamicBinding DynamicBinding

interface Interface


Binding Example: LoggingFilter
@NameBinding // or @Qualifier ?
@Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD})
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface Logged {
}

@Provider
@Logged
public class LoggingFilter implements RequestFilter,
ResponseFilter
{ … }


Binding Example: LoggingFilter
@Path("/")
public class MyResourceClass {

@Logged
@GET
@Produces("text/plain")
@Path("{name}")
public String hello(@PathParam("name") String name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
}

Validation

Motivation

•  Services must validate data
•  Bean Validation already provides the mechanism
•  Integration into JAX-RS

•  Support for constraint annotations in:
•  Fields and properties
•  Parameters (including request entity)
•  Methods (response entities)
•  Resource classes


Example: Constraint Annotations
@Path("/")
class MyResourceClass {

@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
Built-in public void registerUser(
@NotNull @FormParam("firstName") String fn,
Custom
@NotNull @FormParam("lastName") String ln,
@Email @FormParam("email") String em) {
... }
}


Example: User defined Constraints
@Target({ METHOD, FIELD, PARAMETER })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Constraint(validatedBy = EmailValidator.class)
public @interface Email { ... }

class EmailValidator
implements ConstraintValidator<Email, String> {
public void initialize(Email email) {
… }
public boolean isValid(String value,
ConstraintValidatorContext context) {
// Check 'value' is e-mail address
… } }


Example: Request Entity Validation
@CheckUser1
class User { ... }

@Path("/")
class MyResourceClass {
@POST
@Consumes("application/xml")
public void registerUser1(@Valid User u) { … }

@POST
@Consumes("application/json")
public void registerUser12(@CheckUser2 @Valid User u)
{ … }
}

Motivation

•  Let “borrowed” threads run free!
•  Container environment

•  Suspend and resume connections
•  Suspend while waiting for an event
•  Resume when event arrives

•  Leverage Servlet 3.X async support (if available)
•  Client API support
•  Future<RESPONSE>, InvocationCallback<RESPONSE>


Example: Suspend and Resume
@Path("/async/longRunning")
public class MyResource {
@Context private ExecutionContext ctx;

@GET @Produces("text/plain")
public void longRunningOp() {
Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor().submit(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Thread.sleep(10000); // Sleep 10 secs
ctx.resume("Hello async world!");
} });
ctx.suspend(); // Suspend connection and return
} … }

Example: @Suspend Annotation
@Path("/async/longRunning")
public class MyResource {
@Context private ExecutionContext ctx;

@GET @Produces("text/plain") @Suspend
public void longRunning() {
Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor().submit(
new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Thread.sleep(10000); // Sleep 10 secs
ctx.resume("Hello async world!");
} });
// ctx.suspend(); Suspend connection and return
} … }

Example: Client API Async Support
// Build target URI
Target target = client.target("http://.../atm/balance")…

// Start async call and register callback
Future<?> handle = target.request().async().get(
new InvocationCallback<String>() {
public void complete(String balance) { … }
public void failed(InvocationException e) { … }
});

// After waiting for a while …
If (!handle.isDone()) handle.cancel(true);

Motivation

•  REST principles
•  Identifiers and Links
•  HATEOAS (Hypermedia As The Engine Of App State)

•  Link types:
•  Structural Links
•  Transitional Links


Example: Structural vs. Transitional Links
Link: <http://.../orders/1/ship>; rel=ship,
<http://.../orders/1/cancel>; rel=cancel Transitional
...
<order id="1">
<customer>http://.../customers/11</customer>
<address>http://.../customers/11/address/1</customer>
<items>
<item> Structural

<product>http://.../products/111</products>
<quantity>2</quantity>
</item>
... </order>


Current Proposal
Transitional Links Only
•  Link and LinkBuilder classes
•  RFC 5988: Web Linking

•  Support for Link in ResponseBuilder
•  Create Target from Link in Client API


Example: Using Transitional Links
// Server API
Response res = Response.ok(order)
.link("http://.../orders/1/ship", "ship")
.build();

// Client API
Response order = client.target(…)
.request("application/xml").get();

if (order.getLink(“ship”) != null) {
Response shippedOrder = client
.target(order.getLink("ship"))
.request("application/xml").post(null);
… }
