+<h2 class='topic' onclick='toggle(this)'>1 - Juneau - What is it?</h2>
+<div class='topic'>
+ <p>
+ Juneau started off as a simple library for serializing and parsing POJOs to and from JSON.
+ Since then, it has expanded into serializing and parsing a variety of other content types.
+ Later, entire REST client, server, and microservice APIs were developed that utilized the power of these serializers and parsers.
+ Together, these features allow the construction of powerful REST interfaces wrapped around existing POJOs using very little code.
+ </p>
+
+ <h5 class='toc'>Features</h5>
+ <ol class='toc'>
+ <li>
+ <p>Extensive and extensible support for a large variety of POJOs, including structured data (beans) and unstructured data (<l>Maps</l> and <l>Collections</l>).</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>Support for serializing POJO models to:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>JSON (including variants)
+ <li>XML
+ <li>HTML
+ <li>URL-Encoding
+ <li>UON (URL-Encoded Object Notation)
+ <li>MessagePack
+ <li>RDF/XML (including abbreviated)
+ <li>N-Triple
+ <li>Turtle
+ <li>N3
+ <li>SOAP/XML
+ </ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Support for parsing the following into POJO models:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>JSON (including lax syntax, comments, concatenated strings)
+ <li>XML
+ <li>HTML
+ <li>URL-Encoding
+ <li>UON (URL-Encoded Object Notation)
+ <li>MessagePack
+ <li>RDF/XML (including abbreviated)
+ <li>N-Triple
+ <li>Turtle
+ <li>N3
+ </ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Data Transfer Objects for the following:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>ATOM
+ <li>Cognos
+ <li>JSON-Schema
+ </ul>
+ <p>DTOs can be used with any serializers and parsers.
+ <li>
+ <p>Support for serializing POJO meta-models (specifically the POJO class structure itself) to:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>JSON-Schema
+ <li>XML-Schema
+ <li>HTML-Schema
+ </ul>
+ <li>
+ <p>Easy-to-understand naming conventions such as {@link org.apache.juneau.ObjectMap} and {@link org.apache.juneau.ObjectList} to represent generic {@code Maps} and {@code Lists}.</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>Serializers have many options for tweaking output (such as whitespace options, XML namespace options, strict/non-strict syntax options, and so forth).</p>
+ <li>
+ <div>
+ JSON parser supports ALL valid JSON, such as:
+ <ul class='normal'>
+ <li>Javascript comments.
+ <li>Single or double quoted values.
+ <li>Quoted (strict) or unquoted (non-strict) attributes.
+ <li>JSON fragments (such as string, numeric, or boolean primitive values).
+ <li>Concatenated strings.
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <li>
+ <div>
+ REST server interface that allows POJOs to be accessed through REST calls.
+ <ul class='normal'>
+ <li>Serialization and parsing layer is completely transparent to developer.
+ Simply pass a POJO to the toolkit, and all serialization and parsing is taken care of.
+ <li>Extensible / customizable design.
+ Ability to define support for additional content types, or to handle requests manually at many different levels.
+ <li>Default built-in support for serializing output to all supported languages.
+ <li>Default built-in support for parsing input from all supported languages.
+ <li>Ability to easily design self-documenting interfaces (specifically REST interfaces described entirely through OPTIONS requests).
+ <li>Ability to debug interface using nothing more than a browser, including the ability to specify any HTTP headers as GET parameters.
+ </ul>
+ </div>
+ <li>
+ <p>REST client interface that allows clients to parse POJOs from the REST server, typically in a single line of code.</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>No code generators required. Can be used against existing POJO models, unlike other APIs like Java Web Services.</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Serializers/parsers require only Java 1.6+.
+ (RDF support requires Jena 2.7.1+)
+ </p>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ REST APIs require only Java 1.6+ and JEE 1.3+.
+ (JAX/RS integration component requires JAX/RS provider)
+ </p>
+ <li>
+ <p>All code is 100% IBM developer written cleanroom code.</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>Extensive and up-to-date Javadocs with color-coded code examples.</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ APIs use a Fluent Interface that allows complex tasks to be performed in a single line of code.
+ </p>
+ <li>
+ <p>
+ Code written for high-performance/high-concurrency/low-memory consumption.<br>
+ Caching of POJO metadata speeds execution of serialization and parsing.<br>
+ JSON parser is written using a state-machine architecture.<br>
+ XML and HTML parsers are written using StAX.<br>
+ POJOs are serialized/parsed directly from POJOs without a DOM layer, reducing object creation.
+ </p>
+ <li>
+ <p>A simple-to-use JAX-RS / Wink provider for using the existing Juneau serializers and parsers in a JAX-RS environment.</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>An external INI-style configuration file API.</p>
+ <li>
+ <p>An API for defining REST resource microservices as simple executable jars.</p>
+ </ol>
+
+ <h5 class='topic'>Components</h5>
+ <p>
+ Juneau consists of the following libraries:
+ </p>
+ <ul class='spaced-list'>
+ <li><l>juneau.jar</l> - Core library that contains the serializers, parsers, and bean map support.<br>
+ Prereqs Java 1.6+.<br>
+ This package can be used by itself if you only need to serialize or parse from any of the supported languages, or use the Bean Map support separately.<br>
+ See the following subtopic <a class='doclink' href='#Core'>Juneau Core (juneau.jar)</a> for details on this library.<br>
+ <li><l>juneau-server.jar</l> - Contains the REST server APIs.<br>
+ Prereqs Java 1.6+, JEE 1.3+.<br>
+ This package can be used to create servlet-based REST interfaces.<br>
+ See <a class='doclink' href="#Server">Juneau Server (juneau-server.jar)</a> for details on this library.<br>
+ <li><l>juneau-client.jar</l> - Contains the REST client APIs.<br>
+ Prereqs Java 1.6+.<br>
+ This package can be used to easily communicate with Juneau REST servlets.<br>
+ See <a class='doclink' href="#Client">Juneau Client (juneau-client.jar)</a> for details on this library.<br>
+ <li><l>juneau-microservice.jar</l> - An API for defining REST services as executable jars.<br>
+ See <a class='doclink' href="#Microservices">Juneau Microservices (juneau-microservice.jar)</a> for details on this package.<br>
+ <li><l>juneau-all.jar</l> - Combines all the jars above into a single library.
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ Typically, you want to simply pick up and use <l>juneau-all.jar</l> as this contains everything and is not very large (< 1MB).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The following zip files are also provided:
+ </p>
+ <ul class='spaced-list'>
+ <li><l>microservice-project.zip</l> - Contains a template Eclipse project for quickly creating REST resources as executable jars.
+ <li><l>microservice-samples-project.zip</l> - Contains sample code demonstrating various aspects of the Juneau Cloud Tools.<br>
+ These are discussed in detail in the <a class='doclink' href="#Samples">Samples</a> section.
+ </ul>
+ <p class='info'>
+ Many of the examples below use beans with public field properties.
+ While the toolkit allows for public bean properties, it's standard practice to use getters and setters for bean properties.
+ However, the examples below use public fields simply to reduce their verbosity.

+ One other important note is that the serializers are designed to work on tree-shaped POJO models.
+ These are models where there are no referential loops (e.g. leaves with references to nodes, or nodes in one branch referencing nodes in another branch).
+ There is a serializer setting {@code detectRecursions} to look for and handle these kinds of loops (by setting these references to <jk>null</jk>),
+ but it is not enabled by default since it introduces a moderate performance penalty.

+ <p>
+ The built-in serializers in Juneau are fast and efficient, and are highly customizable, for example, allowing you to produce strict or non-strict syntax,
+ various whitespace options, and automatic detection of recursions.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The serializers work by serializing POJOs directly to streams instead of using intermediate Document Object Model objects.
+ This allows serialization with minimal memory use.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Default serialization support is provided for Java primitives, <l>Maps</l>, <l>Collections</l>, beans, and arrays. <br>
+ Extensible support for other data types such as <l>Calendars</l>, <l>Dates</l>, <l>Iterators</l> is available through the use of POJO swaps.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In most cases, you can serialize objects in one line of code by using one of the default serializers:

+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <jc>// A simple POJO class</jc>
+ <jk>public class</jk> Person {
+ <jk>public</jk> String <jf>name</jf> = <js>"John Smith"</js>;

+
+ <jc>// Serialize a bean to JSON, XML, or HTML</jc>

+ If you want to quickly generate JSON/XML/HTML from generic maps/collections, or parse JSON/XML/HTML into generic maps/collections, these objects work well.

+ <p>
+ The <l>ObjectMap</l> and <l>ObjectList</l> are very similar to the <l>JSONObject</l> and <l>JSONArray</l>

+ <p>
+ The programmatic equivalent to the annotations are the {@link org.apache.juneau.transform.BeanFilter} and
+ {@link org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap} classes.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The following example is equivalent to specifying the <l>@Bean</l> annotation in the previous example using a bean filter:
+ </p>
+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <jc>// Define bean filter that returns properties in the following order: "street", "city", "state"</jc>

+ Address a = getAddress();
+ String json = s.serialize(a); <jc>// Prints "{street:'...',city:'...',state;'...'}"</jc>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The {@link org.apache.juneau.transform.PojoSwap} class is a critical component of Juneau that allows serializers and parsers to
+ be able to handle virtually any Java object.
+ Simply put, they can be thought of as 'transformers' that convert non-serializable objects to serializable objects and vice versa.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ For example, <l>Date</l> objects are not normally serializable.
+ (Technically, they look like beans with getters/setters and so get serialized as such, which typically is not the desired result.)
+ The following POJO swap can be used to represent dates in ISO8601 format:
+ </p>
+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <jc>// Sample swap for converting Dates to ISO8601 strings.</jc>
+ <jk>public class</jk> MyDateSwap <jk>extends</jk> PojoSwap<Date,String> {

+ <jc>// ISO8601 formatter.</jc>
+ <jk>private</jk> DateFormat <jf>format</jf> = <jk>new</jk> SimpleDateFormat(<js>"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"</js>);
+
+ <jd>/** Converts a Date object to an ISO8601 string. */</jd>
+ <ja>@Override</ja>
+ <jk>public</jk> String swap(Date o) {
+ <jk>return</jk> <jf>format</jf>.format(o);
+ }
+
+ <jd>/** Converts an ISO8601 string to a Date object. */</jd>

+ <jk>throw new</jk> ParseException(e);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The swap above can then be associated with serializers and parsers as the following example shows:

+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <jc>// Sample bean with a Date field.</jc>
+ <jk>public class</jk> MyBean {

+<h2 class='topic' onclick='toggle(this)'>5 - Remoteable Services</h2>
+<div class='topic'>
+ <p>
+ Juneau provides the capability of calling methods on POJOs on a server through client-side proxy interfaces.
+ It offers a number of advantages over other similar remote proxy interfaces, such as being much simpler to
+ use and allowing much more flexibility.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Remoteable Services are implemented through a combination of the Server and Client libraries.
+ </p>
+ <ul class='spaced-list'>
+ <li>Proxy interfaces are retrieved using the {@link org.apache.juneau.client.RestClient#getRemoteableProxy(Class)} method.
+ <li>The {@link org.apache.juneau.client.RestClient#setRemoteableServletUri(String)} method is used to specify the location
+ of the remoteable services servlet running on the server.
+ <li>The {@link org.apache.juneau.server.remoteable.RemoteableServlet} class is a specialized subclass of {@link org.apache.juneau.server.RestServlet} that provides a full-blown
+ REST interface for calling interfaces remotely.
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ In this example, you have the following interface defined that you want to call from the client side against
+ a POJO on the server side (i.e. a Remoteable Service):
+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <jk>public interface</jk> IAddressBook {
+ Person createPerson(CreatePerson cp) <jk>throws</jk> Exception;
+ }
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The client side code for invoking this method is shown below:
+ </p>
+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <jc>// Create a RestClient using JSON for serialization, and point to the server-side remoteable servlet.</jc>
+ RestClient client = <jk>new</jk> RestClient(JsonSerializer.<jk>class</jk>,JsonParser.<jk>class</jk>)
+ .setRemoteableServletUri(<js>"https://localhost:9080/juneau/sample/remoteable"</js>);
+
+ <jc>// Create a proxy interface.</jc>
+ IAddressBook ab = client.getRemoteableProxy(IAddressBook.<jk>class</jk>);
+
+ <jc>// Invoke a method on the server side and get the returned result.</jc>
+ Person p = ab.createPerson(
+ <jk>new</jk> CreatePerson(<js>"Test Person"</js>,
+ AddressBook.<jsm>toCalendar</jsm>(<js>"Aug 1, 1999"</js>),
+ <jk>new</jk> CreateAddress(<js>"Test street"</js>, <js>"Test city"</js>, <js>"Test state"</js>, 12345, <jk>true</jk>))
+ );
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The requirements for a method to be callable through a remoteable service are:
+ </p>
+ <ul class='spaced-list'>
+ <li>The method must be public.
+ <li>The parameter and return types must be <a href='#Core.PojoCategories'>serializable and parsable</a>.
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ One significant feature is that the remoteable services servlet is a full-blown REST interface.
+ Therefore, in cases where the interface classes are not available on the client side,
+ the same method calls can be made through pure REST calls.
+ This can also aid significantly in debugging, since calls to the remoteable service
+ can be made directly from a browser with no coding involved.

+ Other kinds of microservices can be created by extending the {@link org.apache.juneau.microservice.Microservice} class.
+ <li>The <mk>Rest-Resources</mk> entry is a comma-delimited list of REST resources.
+ These are classes that subclass from {@link org.apache.juneau.server.RestServlet}.
+ This is a specialized entry used by <l>org.apache.juneau.microservice.RestMicroservice</l>.
+ In this case, you're pointing to a resource defined in our project, <l>org.apache.juneau.samples.RootResources</l>, which serves

+ <h6 class='figure'>RootResources.properties</h6>
+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <cc>#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ # RootResources labels
+ #--------------------------------------------------------------------------------</cc>
+ <ck>label</ck> = <cv>Root resources</cv>
+ <ck>description</ck> = <cv>This is an example of a router resource that is used to access other resources.</cv>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The <l>label</l> and <l>description</l> keys identify the localized values
+ return by the {@link org.apache.juneau.server.RestServlet#getLabel(RestRequest)} and {@link org.apache.juneau.server.RestServlet#getDescription(RestRequest)} methods.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The <l>children</l> annotation defines the child resources of this router resource.
+ These are resources whose paths are relative to the parent resource.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Child resources must also be subclasses of {@link org.apache.juneau.server.RestServlet}, and
+ must specify a {@link org.apache.juneau.server.annotation.RestResource#path()} annotation to
+ identify the subpath of the child.
+ For example, the <l>HelloWorldResource</l> class is annotated as follows:
+ </p>
+ <h6 class='figure'>HelloWorldResource.java</h6>
+ <p class='bcode'>
+ <ja>@RestResource</ja>(messages=<js>"nls/HelloWorldResource"</js>, path=<js>"/helloWorld"</js>)
+ <jk>public class</jk> HelloWorldResource <jk>extends</jk> Resource {
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ It should be noted that child resources do not need to be defined this way.
+ They could also be defined as servlets in the same way as the root resource.
+ The <l>children</l> annotation approach simply makes it easier to define them without having to touch the <l>web.xml</l> file again.
+ Child resources can also be defined programmatically by overriding the {@link org.apache.juneau.server.RestServlet#createChildren()} method.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Note that these router pages can be arbitrarily nested deep.
+ You can define many levels of router pages for arbitrarily hierarchical REST interfaces.
+ </p>
+ <p class='info'>
+ Let's step back and describe what's going on here:<br>
+ During servlet initialization of the <l>RootResources</l> object, the toolkit looks for the <l>@RestResource.children()</l> annotation.
+ If it finds it, it instantiates instances of each class and recursively peforms servlet initialization on them.
+ It then associates the child resource with the parent by the name specified by the <l>@RestResource.path()</l> annotation on the child class.
+ When a request for the child URL (<l>/helloWorld</l>) is received, the <l>RootResources</l> servlet gets the request and sees that the URL remainder matches one of its child resources.
+ It then forwards the request to the child resource for processing.
+ The request passed to the child resource is the same as if the child resource had been deployed independently (e.g. path-info, resource-URI, and so forth).
