Agenda
•  REST & JAX-RS
•  Synchronous vs. Asynchronous
•  Client-side vs. Server-side
5

Client-side REST
ConﬁdenPal – Oracle Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted 6

JAX-RS
•  Java API for RESTful Web Services
– JAX-RS 2.0 – JSR 339 (*)
– JAX-RS 2.1 – JSR 370
•  Standard based RESTful framework
– Server-side and client-side
– Jersey, JBoss RESTEasy, Restlet, Apache CXF, Apache Wink, IBM JAX-RS, …
•  Java SE and Java EE
7

Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();

WebTarget target = client.target("http://weath.er/api")
.queryParam("city", "Paris”);

Forecast forecast = target.request()
.get(Forecast.class);

…
client.close();

JAX-RS Client API

JAX-RS Client API
•  Client
– Client side container
– Customizable & tunable
• E.g. executorService() (new in JAX-RS 2.1!)
•  WebTarget
– Target remote URI
– Build from a client
– path() + resolveTemplates(), queryParam(), matrixParam()
javax.ws.rs.client.Client interface

9

JAX-RS Client API
•  Request invocaPon builder
– Build from a WebTarget
– acceptXXX(), cookie(), header(), cacheControl()…
– HTTP methods


10

JAX-RS Client API
•  Fluent API
– Client Builder è Client è Web Target è Request building è Response

11
List<Forecast> forecast = ClientBuilder.newClient()
.target("http://weath.er/cities")
.request()
.accept("application/json")
.header("Foo","bar")
.get(new GenericType<List<Forecast>>() {});

JAX-RS Client API
•  Synchronous invoker

•  Asynchronous invoker

12
String city = client.target("http://locati.on/api")
.queryParam("city", "Paris")
.request()
.get(String.class);
Future<String> fCity = client.target("http://locati.on/api")
.queryParam("city", "Paris")
.request()
.async()
.get(String.class);

JAX-RS Client API
Asynchronous invoca.on
13
…
.request()
.async()
.get(String.class);

String city = future.get();

JAX-RS Client API
14
…
.request()
.async()
.get(String.class);

try {

String city = future.get(4, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

} catch(TimeoutException timeout) {
…
}

JAX-RS Client API
15
Future<String> future = client.target("http://locati.on/api")
…
.request()
.async()
.get(String.class);

while (!future.isDone()) {
// response hasn't been received yet
…
}

String city = f.get();
…

// Set ClientProperties.CONNECT_TIMEOUT & READ_TIMEOUT

JAX-RS Client API
•  InvocaPonCallback Interface
– javax.ws.rs.client.InvocaPonCallback<RESPONSE>
•  Container will receive asynchronous processing events from an
invocaPon
– completed(RESPONSE response)
– failed(Throwable throwable)
16

JAX-RS Client API
17
Invoca.onCallback
…
WebTarget myResource = client.target("http://examp.le/api/read");
Future<Customer> future = myResource.request(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
.async()
.get(new InvocationCallback<Customer>() {
@Override
public void completed (Customer customer) {
// do something with the given customer
}
@Override
public void failed (Throwable throwable) {
// Oops!
}
});

ComplePonStage interface
•  “A stage of a possibly asynchronous computaPon, that performs an
ac.on or computes a value”
•  “On termina.on a stage may in turn trigger other dependent stages.”
•  Stage execuPon triggered by complePon of
– “then” - a single stage
– “combine” - both of two stages
– “either” - either of two stages
25

ComplePonStage interface
•  ComputaPon takes an argument and returns a result?
– “apply” – Func.on take result of the previous stage as argument, return a result
– “accept” – Consumer only take an argument
– “run” – Runnable no argument and doesn’t return a result
•  How the execuPon of the computaPon is arranged?
– Doesn't end with “async” – execute using the stage’s default execuPon facility
– End with “async” - use the stage’s default asynchronous execuPon facility
•  …

Summary

Server-side REST

Server-side
@Path("/Item")
public class ItemResource {

@Path("{id}")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public ItemResource getItemResource(@PathParam("id") String id) {
return ItemResource.getInstance(id);
}

@POST
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
public Response createItem(@QueryParam("name") String name) {
//...
return Response.status(Status.OK).entity(…).build();
}
}

Server-side Async

@Path("/Async")
public class ItemResource {

@GET
public void heavyResource(@Suspended AsyncResponse ar) {

mes.execute(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
try {
// long running computation...
ar.resume(Response.ok(...).build());
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
// Ooops!
}
}
});
...

Server-side Async
•  Provides means for asynchronous server side response processing
– Injectable via @Suspended
OR
– Resource method can return a ComplePonStage<T> instance (new in JAX-RS 2.1!)
•  Bound to the request
– Suspend
– Resume
– Conﬁgure
– Cancel

•  Persistent, one-way communicaPon channel
•  Text protocol, special media type "text/event-stream"
•  Server can send mulPple messages (events) to a client
•  Can contain id, name, comment retry interval
•  Supported in all modern browsers

SSE
•  SseEvent
– ID, Name, Comment, …
•  OutboundSseEvent
– Server-side representaPon of a Server-sent event
– OutboundSseEvent.Builder()
•  InboundSseEvent
– Client-side representaPon of a Server-sent event

SSE – Server side
•  SseEventSink
– Outbound Server-Sent Events stream

SSE – Client side
•  SseEventSource
– Client for processing incoming Server-Sent Events

SseEventSource es = SseEventSource.target(SSE_target)
