WebLogic 12c JAX-RS and JSON marshalling - rest

I'm trying to deploy REST web service on WebLogic 12c. I followed the official guide to configure the Jersey runtime and deploy the service.
Everything seems to work, until I return any object from the REST method. Here is the snippet
#GET
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public List<Foo> getFoos() {
return repo.getFoos();
}
The method returns "Internal server error" string as a payload. Oddly enough, I don't see any runtime exceptions in the server log. Same applies to any object type. However, I can return String with according media type with no problem.
Seems like there is some problem with the JSON marshalling. Do I need further configuration to enable the JSON marshaller?

camel route for opc-ua milo project

I am working on creating a Camel, Spring boot application that implements the OPC-UA connection. Till now, I was successfully able to run the examples obtained from Eclipse milo github repository.
Now, my task is to create a camel route that will connect to the opc-ua server that is running on a different machine, read data from there and store in a jms queue.
Till now, I am able to run the BrowseNodeExample and ReadNodeExample where I am connecting to a server simulator (Top Server V6). In the example code, when connecting to the server, the endpoint of the server is given as - "opc.tcp://127.0.0.1:49384/SWToolbox.TOPServer.V6"
Now in the camel routing piece of code, in the .configure() part, what shall I write in the .from() part. The piece of code is as -
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
from("opc.tcp://127.0.0.1:49384/SWToolbox.TOPServer.V6")
.process(opcConnection)
.split(body().tokenize(";"))
.to(opcBean.getKarafQueue());
}
While searching for the solution I came across one option: milo-server:tcp://127.0.0.1:49384/SWToolbox.TOPServer.V6/nodeId=2&namespaceUri=http://examples.freeopcua.github.io. I tried that but it didn't work. In both the cases I get the below error:
ResolveEndpointFailedException: Failed to resolve endpoint: (endpoint
given) due to: No component found with scheme: milo-server (or
opc.tcp)
You might want to add the camel-opc component to your project.
I've found one on Github
and also milo version on maven central for the OPC-UA connection.
Hope that helps :-)
The ResolveEndpointFailedException is quite clear, Camel cannot find the component. That means that the auto-discovery failed to load the definition in the META-INF directory.
Have you checked that the camel-milo jar is contained in your fat-jar/war?
As a workaround you can add the component manualy via
CamelContext context = new DefaultCamelContext();
context.addComponent("foo", new FooComponent(context));
http://camel.apache.org/how-do-i-add-a-component.html
or in your case
#Override
public void configure() throws Exception {
getContext().addComponent("milo-server", new org.apache.camel.component.milo.server.MiloServerComponent());
from("milo-server:tcp://127.0.0.1:49384/SWToolbox.TOPServer.V6/nodeId=2&namespaceUri=http://examples.freeopcua.github.io")
...
}
Furthermore be aware that milo-server starts an OPC UA server. As I understood your question you want to connect to an OPC UA server. Therefore you need the milo-client component.

I cant make rest calls with react

I am learning to use React at the moment, and I have a problem: I want react to work with my Java Spring Boot backend (Tomcat). React is running on port 3000 (default) and my Tomcat server on port 8080 (default). Now, when I make a REST call, I get the following error
script.js:13 GET http://localhost:8080/api/path?p=test net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
My rest call looks like:
fetch('http://localhost:8080/api/path?p=test')
.then(res => {
console.log(res);
});
What do I make wrong? I do not really have an idea.
An net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED error is typically thrown when your frontend (React application) cannot connect to your backend (your Spring boot application). There are many possible reasons for this to happen, such as:
Your back-end application is not running
The path to your back-end application is not correct
There is some kind of firewall between your front- and back-end application that is stopping the traffic
...
In your case it appeared to be the back-end application that was not running properly.
Your second problem is related to CORS, which is a mechanism that prevents JavaScript from connecting to other APIs/websites that are not on the same (sub)domain and port. In your case your frontend is running on a different port than you backend, so that means you have to deal with CORS.
To handle CORS, you have to add a header to your backend (namely the Access-Contol-Allow-Origin header the error is mentioning). With Spring, you can do that by adding the following annotation to your controller:
#CrossOrigin(origins = "http://localhost:3000")
Or you can configure CORS globally with a filter or using WebMvcConfigurer:
#Bean
public WebMvcConfigurer corsConfigurer() {
return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
#Override
public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
registry.addMapping("/api/**").allowedOrigins("http://localhost:3000");
}
};
}
As mentioned in the comments by #Lutz Horn, this is also described in a Spring guide.

WildFly management - list/detect REST endpoints deployed in WildFly

Is there a way (e.g. from a WildFly management console) to list all REST endpoints deployed in WildFly? Or to list them in a log while a server is starting?
Using the RegistryStatsResource
With RESTEasy (that is shipped with WildFly), you could add the following to your web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>resteasy.resources</param-name>
<param-value>org.jboss.resteasy.plugins.stats.RegistryStatsResource</param-value>
</context-param>
And then request the following URL:
http://[hostname]:[port]/[context]/[api-path]/resteasy/registry
Such endpoint can produce XML and JSON content. Just add the Accept header to the request with the desired media type:
application/xml
application/json
Checking the source code
If you are interested in the source code to create your own implementation, have a look at the RegistryStatsResource class on GitHub.
The most relevant part of the source code is shown below (it's RESTEasy specific):
ResourceMethodRegistry registry = (ResourceMethodRegistry)
ResteasyProviderFactory.getContextData(Registry.class);
for (String key : registry.getBounded().keySet()){
List<ResourceInvoker> invokers = registry.getBounded().get(key);
for (ResourceInvoker invoker : invokers) {
if (invoker instanceof ResourceMethodInvoker) {
ResourceMethodInvoker rm = (ResourceMethodInvoker) invoker;
// Extract metadata from the ResourceMethodInvoker
}
}
Swagger may be an alternative
Depending on your requirements, you can use Swagger to document your API. It comes with a set of annotations to describe your REST endpoints.
Then use Swagger UI to provide a live documentation for your API.
Note: As of February 2017, looks like the RegistryStatsResource class is completely undocumented. I occasionally discovered it when digging into the RESTEasy source code for debugging purposes. Also, I found this JBoss EAP issue that tracks the lack of documentation for that class.
From the Management Console, you can view the published endpoints.
When you login as an administrator, Click the Runtime option on the top navigation bar as shown below.
Click the JAX-RS option, then click the REST Resources option. This will display the endpoints to the far right.

XDS.b testing with SoapUI

I have to implement a simple client to a XDS.b server (SubmitObjectRequest and RetrieveDocumentSetRequest operations), but I'm struggling to get even a simple example of use to work.
I've tried using Mirth Connect's Channel for XDS.b also, but with no use. I even tried to copy its SOAP envelope to use with SoapUI. Didn't work.
I'm using HIEOS deployed on Glassfish as my XDS.b server.
I'm lost and confused. Could anyone give me a guidance on how to make this work?
If the HIEOS is deployed correctly within the Glassfish the service endpoint provides a wsdl definition where the interface is specified. Check the Glassfish for the wsdl of the service.
http://localhost:8080/my-ws/simple?WSDL
Quelle: docs.oracle.com/cd/E18930_01/html/821-2418/gbiyw.html
The list of provided endpoints you can see here:
https://kenai.com/projects/hieos/pages/WebServices
So to retrieve the wsdl you should use for example:
http://localhost:8080/axis2/services/xdsrepositoryb?wsdl
which applies for the ProvideAndRegisterDocumentSet-b transaction of the XDS Repository actor.
You can use the WSDL definition to create a WS request using SOAP UI at first.
SOAP UI creates a request based upon the wsdl definition which can be used to
test a against your XDS repo.
When you know how a SOAP request must be constructed you can try it using Mirth or
create your own client using Apache CXF http://cxf.apache.org/ for example.
Or you use AXIS2 to create a client from the WSDL. Of course does Visual Studio and C# also offer mechanisms to create a WS client directly from a WSDL definition.

A system exception occurred during an invocation on EJB AuthenticationRequestFilter method public com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerRequest

I am Using RESTful APIs in my application using Jersey 1.6.
Some database is also there.
I have created two .war files in my application. These are deployed on Glassfish server3.0.1 with no issues.(no errors/exceptions).
They make some REST calls to each other for transactions.(It has a proper xml format to send a transaction).
When I try to make a transaction it gives me exceptions like
A system exception occurred during an invocation on EJB AuthenticationRequestFilter method public com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerRequest com.mypack1.mypack2.resources.filters.AuthenticationRequestFilter.filter(com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerRequest)
javax.ejb.EJBException
at com.sun.ejb.containers.BaseContainer.processSystemException(BaseContainer.java:5119)
and at the end it says
[#|2011-04-26T12:06:32.356+0530|WARNING|glassfish3.0.1|org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient|_ThreadID=27;_ThreadName=Thread-1;|Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}|#]
I am sure that the xml I send is correct according to database entries.(including authentication for the particular URL).
Is there anything like "container security". Whats may go wrong in this case.
Thanks in advance.
