Java HTTP Adapter

Overview

This tutorial is a continuation of Java Adapter and assumes previous knowledge of the concepts described there.

Java adapters provide free reign over connectivity to your backend. It is therefore your responsibility to ensure best practices regarding performance and other implementation details.

This tutorial shows an example of a Java adapter that connects to an RSS feed by using a Java HttpClient.

Topics:

RSSAdapterApplication

RSSAdapterApplication extends MFPJAXRSApplication and is a good place to trigger any initialization required by your application.

@Override
protected void init() throws Exception {
    RSSAdapterResource.init();
    logger.info("Adapter initialized!");
}

RSSAdapterResource

@Path("/")
public class RSSAdapterResource {
}

RSSAdapterResource is where we handle the requests to your adapter.

@Path("/") means that the resources will be available at the URL http(s)://host:port/ProjectName/adapters/AdapterName/.

HTTP Client

private static CloseableHttpClient client;
private static HttpHost host;
public static void init() {
    client = HttpClients.createDefault();
    host = new HttpHost("developer.ibm.com");
}

Because every request to your resource will create a new instance of RSSAdapterResource, it is important to reuse objects that may impact performance. In this example we made the Http client a static object and initialized it in a static init() method, which gets called by the init() of RSSAdapterApplication as described above.

Procedure resource

@GET
@Produces("application/json")
public void get(@Context HttpServletResponse response, @QueryParam("tag") String tag) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException, IllegalStateException, SAXException {
    if(tag!=null && !tag.isEmpty()){
	    execute(new HttpGet("/mobilefirstplatform/tag/"+ tag +"/feed"), response);
    } else{
	    execute(new HttpGet("/mobilefirstplatform/feed"), response);
    }
}

Our adapter exposes just one resource URL which allows to retrieve the RSS feed from the backend service.

  • @GET means that this procedure only responds to HTTP GET requests.
  • @Produces("application/json") specifies the Content Type of the response to send back. We chose to send the response as a JSON object to make it easier on the client-side.
  • @Context HttpServletResponse response will be used to write to the response output stream. This enables us more granularity than returning a simple string.
  • @QueryParam("tag") String tag enables the procedure to receive a parameter. The choice of QueryParam means the parameter is to be passed in the query (/RSSAdapter/?tag=MobileFirst_Platform). Other options include @PathParam, @HeaderParam, @CookieParam, @FormParam, etc.
  • throws ClientProtocolException, ... means we are forwarding any exception back to the client. The client code is responsible for handling potential exceptions which will be received as HTTP 500 errors. Another solution (more likely in production code) is to handle exceptions in your server Java code and decide what to send to the client based on the exact error.
  • execute(new HttpGet("/mobilefirstplatform/feed"), response). The actual HTTP request to the backend service is handled by another method defined later.

Depending if you pass a tag parameter, execute will retrieve a different build a different path and retrieve a different RSS file.

execute()

public void execute(HttpUriRequest req, HttpServletResponse resultResponse) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException,
		IllegalStateException, SAXException {
    HttpResponse RSSResponse = client.execute(host, req);
    ServletOutputStream os = resultResponse.getOutputStream();

    if (RSSResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == HttpStatus.SC_OK){
        resultResponse.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
        String json = XML.toJson(RSSResponse.getEntity().getContent());
        os.write(json.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8")));</p>
    } else {
        resultResponse.setStatus(RSSResponse.getStatusLine().getStatusCode());
        RSSResponse.getEntity().getContent().close();
        os.write(RSSResponse.getStatusLine().getReasonPhrase().getBytes());
    }
    os.flush();
    os.close();
}

  • HttpResponse RSSResponse = client.execute(host, req). We use our static HTTP client to execute the HTTP request and store the response.
  • ServletOutputStream os = resultResponse.getOutputStream(). This is the output stream to write a response to the client.
  • resultResponse.addHeader("Content-Type", "application/json"). As mentioned before, we chose to send the response as JSON.
  • String json = XML.toJson(RSSResponse.getEntity().getContent()). We used org.apache.wink.json4j.utils.XML to convert the XML RSS to a JSON string.
  • os.write(json.getBytes(Charset.forName("UTF-8"))) the resulting JSON string is written to the output stream.

The output stream is then flushed and closed.

If RSSResponse is not 200 OK, we write the status code and reason in the response instead.

Results

Use the testing techniques described in Java Adapter to test your work.

The adapter should return the RSS feed converted to JSON.

Inclusive terminology note: The Mobile First Platform team is making changes to support the IBM® initiative to replace racially biased and other discriminatory language in our code and content with more inclusive language. While IBM values the use of inclusive language, terms that are outside of IBM's direct influence are sometimes required for the sake of maintaining user understanding. As other industry leaders join IBM in embracing the use of inclusive language, IBM will continue to update the documentation to reflect those changes.
