h1. Feature

The REST component is a Binding Component (BC) which enables to interact with external RESTful Web Services and to expose JBI services as RESTful Web Services.

In provider role, when a JBI MessageExchange is sent to a ServiceEndpoint (mapped to a Web Service), it is transformed into a REST message and sent to the linked external Web Service. In consumer role, when a REST message is received on an exposed Web Service, it is transformed into a JBI MessageExchange and sent to the corresponding JBI ServiceEndpoint.

The REST component is based on Jersey and Axis2 (TBD). It provides the following features:
* Expose Restful Web Services as JBI Services
* Expose Restful Web Services as JBI Services using a WADL (TBC)
* Expose Restful Web Services as JBI Services using a WSDL 2.0 (TBC)
* Expose JBI Services as Restful Web Services

h1. Exposing an external Restful Web Service as a JBI service endpoint

In provide mode, the component exposes an external Web Service in the JBI environment to send REST requests to the external Web Service.

h2. Usage

The Petals BC REST component can expose an external Web Service as a JBI service endpoint by deploying a Service Unit on it:

{center}

*Provides an external resource as a JBI service*
{center}

When a message is received on a REST linked endpoint from the JBI environment, it is transformed into a REST message and sent to the resource server.

The REST request is created like this:
* The REST URI is created from the address extension, the JBI operation and JBI message content (The JBI message content must contains the information about the path, the matrix and query parameters),
* The HTTP headers are set according to the provided configuration,
* The HTTP body is created differently according the HTTP method to used:
** GET/DELETE: There is no HTTP body
** POST: The HTTP body is also created differently according the JBI message content:
*** The JBI message content contains only a reference to a JBI attachment: The HTTP body is created from a JBI attachment (binary data)
*** The JBI message content does not contains a reference to a JBI attachment: The HTTP body is created from the JBI message content (form parameters)
** PUT: The HTTP body is created from a JBI attachment.

For example the following JBI message will produces the URI {{http://localhost:8088/library/My+Documents/documents/6/metadata}}:
{code:lang=xml}
<consulter xmlns="http://petals.ow2.org/bc/rest/unit-test/ged">
<library>My Documents</library>
<reference>6</reference>
</consulter>
{code}

The external resource is called and the REST response is processed and returned to the JBI environment.

The REST response is transformed into a JBI message like this:
* In case of normal response (HTTP status as 20x), the JBI output message content and attachment are created differently according the Content-Type HTTP header:
** XML content types: The JBI message content is created from the HTTP body. If a configuration element '{{on-http-status}}' is defined for the HTTP status 20x, the XML of the HTTP body is transformed with the associated XSL,
** JSON content types: The JBI message content is created from the JSON body converted into a basic XML. If a configuration element '{{on-http-status}}' is defined for the HTTP status 20x, the basic XML is transformed with the associated XSL,
** Non XML content types: The JBI message content is a reference (cf SOAP) to a JBI attachment which contains the HTTP body.
* In case of error (HTTP status different from 20x) a JBI error is created, the JBI output message is built according to the following rules:
** if the HTTP status is catched by a configuration element '{{on-http-status}}', the return depends on the message exchange pattern:
*** '{{InOnly}}', a status DONE is returned,
*** '{{RobustInOnly}}', a fault generated from the given XSL is returned,
*** '{{InOut}}', a fault or normal response, both generated from the given XSL, is returned according to the value of the attribute '{{as-fault}}',
** if the HTTP status is not catched by a configuration element '{{on-http-status}}', a status 'ERROR' is returned.

h1. Exposing an internal JBI service endpoint as a RESTful Web Service

In consumer mode, the component exposes an internal JBI service outside the bus to transfer incoming REST requests to the internal service.

h2. Usage

The petals-bc-rest component can listen incoming REST messages and send messages to a JBI service endpoint by deploying a Service Unit on it. The component consumes the JBI service:


{center}

*Consumes a JBI service on a REST message*
{center}

The service-name Service Unit extension value will be used as service name.

When a REST message is handled by the component, it is transformed into a JBI Message and sent to the JBI service endpoint configured in the Service Unit.

The JBI message is created like this:
* The JBI operation is created differently from the operation present in the REST URI operation
* The JBI message content is created according to the HTTP method of the incoming REST request:
** GET: The JBI message content is created from the REST URI path and parameters
** POST: The JBI message content is also created differently according the Content-Type HTTP header:
*** Non XML content types: The JBI message content is a reference (cf SOAP) to a JBI attachment which contains the HTTP body
*** XML content types: The JBI message content is created from the HTTP body (there is no JBI attachment created)
** PUT/DELETE: There is no JBI message content
* A JBI attachment is created according to the HTTP method of the incoming REST request:
** GET/DELETE: There is no JBI attachment created
** POST: A JBI attachment is created from the HTTP body if the Content-Type HTTP header contains a non XML content type.
** PUT: A JBI attachment is created from the HTTP body
* The HTTP headers are added to the the protocol header JBI message property
* The MEP is defined by the petalsCDK:mep extension.

A WADL is available at the following URL: (TBC)

{anchor:Unit_Testing}
h1. Unit testing

The unit testing can occur at several levels in your Rest service unit:
* on the provider side:
** to check the operation definition in the JBI descriptor
** to check the compliance of the JBI descriptor with the WSDL content,
** to unit test your XSL transformations.

A dedicated framework is available as an extension of JUnit providing facilities:
* to validate your WSDL:
** in a WSDL point of view,
** checking the compliance of the JBI descriptor with the WSDL content,
* to validate your JBI descriptor:
** checking syntax of the XPath expressions,
* to verify generated response from HTTP response.

This dedicated framework is provided by the Maven artifact {{org.ow2.petals:petals-bc-rest-junit}}:
{code:xml}
<project>
...
<dependencies>
...
<dependency>
<groupId>org.ow2.petals</groupId>
<artifactId>petals-bc-rest-junit</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
...
</dependencies>
...
</project>
{code}

{warning}The version 1.0.0+ of the framework is compliant with the Petals BC REST 1.1.0+.{warning}

h2. Checking the compliance of the JBI descriptor with WSDL content

The unit test framework contains an assertion '{{assertWsdlCompliance}}' to verify easily the compliance of your JBI descriptor with the WSDL content. As the WSDL is parsed, it's syntax is also verified:
{code:lang=java}
import static org.ow2.petals.binding.rest.junit.Assert.assertWsdlCompliance;

public class WsdlValidatorTest {

@Test
public void validateJbiAgainstWsdl() throws Exception {

assertWsdlCompliance();
}

}
{code}

The WSDL file to verify is extracted from the JBI descriptor content.

h2. Unit-testing your operation definitions

The unit test framework contains several assertions to verify transformation of HTTP response:
* {{assertJBIOutResponse}}: The result of the HTTP response is expected as an OUT message similar to the given resource,
* {{assertJBIFault}}: The result of the HTTP response is expected as a fault similar to the given resource.

{code:lang=java}
import static org.ow2.petals.binding.rest.junit.Assert.assertJBIFault;
import static org.ow2.petals.binding.rest.junit.Assert.assertJBIOutResponse;
...
import org.ow2.petals.binding.rest.junit.rule.ServiceOperationUnderTest;
...

public class GetMetadataByJsonOpTest {

@ClassRule
public static final ServiceOperationUnderTest OPERATION_UNDER_TEST = new ServiceOperationUnderTest(
OP_GET_METADATA_BY_JSON);

/**
* Check the JBI response of operation {@value OP_GET_METADATA_BY_JSON} when a REST response is returned with HTTP
* status 200 and contains metadatas.
*/
@Test

/**
* Check the JBI response of operation {@value OP_GET_METADATA_BY_JSON} when a REST response is returned with HTTP
* status 404 (unexisting document)
*/
@Test
public void unexistingDocument() throws Exception {

{code}

In the service unit JBI descriptor, the response transformations are described for each operation. The JUnit rule {{ServiceOperationUnderTest}} represents one of these operations, and the response transformation processing is the same than the one of the component. This JUnit rule is used to execute the transformation on a given HTTP response through assertions {{assertJBIOutResponse}} or {{assertJBIFault}}. For each assertion, the transformation result is compared to the content of the given resource. Following part of the HTTP response used as input of the transformation can be set:
* the HTTP status,
* a resource name containing the HTTP body,
* the content type of the HTTP body,
