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

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

Built-in Serialization

Resources

URI Parameter Injection

HTTP Method Binding


Example: JAX-RS API (contd.) … @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 “{cardId}”

Resource Target “balance”

Resource Target “withdrawal”

Client Factory

Invocation

Configuration Configuration Configuration


Example: Client API

// Get instance of ClientClient client = ClientFactory.newClient();Can also inject @URI for the target ß// Get account balanceString bal = client.target("http://.../atm/balance") .pathParam("card", "111122223333") .queryParam("pin", "9876") .request("text/plain").get(String.class);

Param Binding


Example: Client API (contd.)

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

Param Binding


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"));

Param Binding


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(); } });

Param Binding


Example: Configuration

Param Binding

// Get client and register MyProvider1Client client = ClientFactory.newClient();client.configuration().register(MyProvider1.class);// Create atm and register MyProvider2// Inherits MyProvider1 from clientTarget atm = client.target("http://.../atm");atm.configuration().register(MyProvider2.class);// Create balance and register MyProvider3// Inherits MyProvider1, MyProvider2 from atmTarget balance = atm.path("balance"); // new instancebalance.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 @Providerclass LoggingFilter implements RequestFilter, ResponseFilter { @Override public FilterAction preFilter(FilterContext ctx) throws IOException { logRequest(ctx.getRequest()); return FilterAction.NEXT; } …

Param Binding


Filter Example: LoggingFilter (contd.)

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

Param Binding


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 @Providerclass GzipInterceptor implements ReaderInterceptor, WriterInterceptor { @Override public Object aroundreadFrom(ReadInterceptorContext ctx) throws IOException { if (gzipEncoded(ctx)) { InputStream old = ctx.getInputStream(); ctx.setInputStream(new GZIPInputStream(old)); } return ctx.proceed(); } … }

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) public void registerUser( @NotNull @FormParam("firstName") String fn, @NotNull @FormParam("lastName") String ln, @Email @FormParam("email") String em) { ... } }

Param Binding

Built-in


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 … } }

Param Binding


Example: Request Entity Validation @CheckUser1class 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 } … }

Param Binding


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 } … }

Param Binding


Example: Client API Async Support // Build target URITarget target = client.target("http://.../atm/balance")… // Start async call and register callbackFuture<?> 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...<order id="1"> <customer>http://.../customers/11</customer> <address>http://.../customers/11/address/1</customer> <items> <item> <product>http://.../products/111</products> <quantity>2</quantity> </item> ... </order>

Param Binding

Transitional

Structural


Current Proposal

•  Link and LinkBuilder classes •  RFC 5988: Web Linking

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

Transitional Links Only


Example: Using Transitional Links // Server APIResponse res = Response.ok(order) .link("http://.../orders/1/ship", "ship") .build(); // Client APIResponse order = client.target(…) .request("application/xml").get();if (order.getLink(“ship”) != null) { Response shippedOrder = client .target(order.getLink("ship")) .request("application/xml").post(null); … }

Other Topics Under Consideration •  Better integration with JSR 330 •  Support @Inject and qualifiers

•  High-level client API?
