PABRE-WS

This service was created as a result of the OpenReq project funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement No. 732463.

Functionalities of the Web service

The services offers the following features:

  • REST service to manage requirement patterns
  • REST service to manage complete catalogue with many schemas having they own patterns
  • Store all the information in the embedded database

Installing with Eclipse

  1. Get the source code:

    • Download the zip or clone the project with git:

          https://mast-tuleap.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/plugins/git/openreq/upc/requirement-patterns.git

  2. Run Eclipse

  3. Goto File > Import > Maven > Existing Maven Projects

  4. Go to the folder where the project is located and press Finish

  5. To ensure that the libraries are downloaded: right click on the proyect > Maven > Update Project

Build the project with Maven

  1. Open command line in pabre-ws

  2. Build the project:

    • Generate only pabre-ws.war with:

       mvn clean install

    • Generate pabre-ws.war and pabre-ws.jar (with embedded Tomcat7):

       mvn clean install tomcat7:exec-war-only

Build the project with Maven plugin in Eclipse

  1. Open the project

  2. Go to Run configuration:

    Right click on project > Run As > Maven build...

  3. Set the configuration: Name: pabre-ws derbyEm Goals : clean install tomcat7:exec-war-only

  4. Press Run

  5. You can obtain the pabre-ws.war and pabre-ws.jar inside the /target folder

Running the project with pabre-ws.war

Important: by default pabre-ws uses a embedded derby database, derby uses the directory where it is been executed . For example: running the startup.sh is been executed in apache-tomcat-7.0.90/bin, so the Derby database will be create a database with the route apache-tomcat-7.0.90/bin/pabreDatabase , if the user dosen't have permission to write, it will be created in the system temporary files, console will show you the used route

There are 2 ways to run with pabre.ws

  • Modifying the pabre-ws.war before deploy

    1. Obtain the pabre-ws.war
    2. Open the pabre-ws.war as a .zip/.rar folder
    3. Open the hibernate.cfg.xml located in WEB-INF/classes/config
    4. Modify the file with the follow items:
      • hibernate.connection.username: Username of the database (Optional).
      • hibernate.connection.password: Password of the database (Optional).
      • connection.directory: The directory where the database should be created or is located. By default: directory where the tomcat is been executed. (cannot end in /)
      • connection.database.name: Database name, by default is pabreDatabase (Optional).
    5. Save and accept the war update
    6. Go to your own Tomcat folder
    7. Copy the war inside webapps folder
    8. Start the Tomcat

  • Modifying after deploy

    1. Obtain the pabre-ws.war
    2. Copy the pabre-ws.war into the Tomcat webapps folder
    3. When the war is deployed (folder created), Stop the Tomcat
    4. Go to pabre-ws/WEB-INF/classes/config
    5. Open the hibernate.cfg.xml located in WEB-INF/classes/config
    6. Modify the file with the follow items:
      • hibernate.connection.username: Username of the database (Optional).
      • hibernate.connection.password: Password of the database (Optional).
      • connection.directory: The directory where the database should be created or is located. By default: directory where the tomcat is been executed. (cannot end in /)
      • connection.database.name: Database name, by default is pabreDatabase (Optional).
    7. Save the file
    8. Start the Tomcat

Running the project with pabre-ws.jar

Important: by default pabre-ws uses a embedded derby database, derby uses the directory where it is been executed . In this case, when you execute pabre-ws.jar in the same directory it will be created a folder with the name pabreDatabase. In case that the user don't have permission to write in that folder, the database will be created in the system temp folder, The console will show you which route has been used.

Important: The default port used by the Embedded tomcat is 9408.

  1. Obtain the pabre-ws.jar
  2. Execute: java -jar pabre-ws.jar
  3. Embedded Tomcat7 will be executed and you can now access http://localhost:9408/pabre-ws/api/

Developers

  • Database:While developing is recomended to use the Client/Server derby configuration with the profile derby, otherwise embedded derby take some time while is shutting down. To change the profile of execution:

    1. Right click on the project
    2. Click on Properties
    3. Select Maven
    4. Write derby inside active maven profile

  • Tests: To test all the WS Postman is being used.

    • The tests location: inside the src/main/resources/tests are 2 files:
      • PABRE-WS.postman_collection.json: This file there are all the tests to be executed by Postman
      • PABRE-WS.postman_environment.json: This file contains all the environment needed to execute the tests (the variable baseUrl should be updated with the server URL where service is being executed to test it)
    • How to execute the tests:
      1. Install the command Newman
      2. Go to the project root directory
      3. Execute the command: newman run pabre-ws/src/main/resources/tests/PABRE-WS.postman_collection.json -e pabre-ws/src/main/resources/tests/PABRE-WS.postman_environment.json

Switching database

Pabre use Hibernate library, so it can switch between different databases. In hibernate.cfg.xml we can write the configuration. Some examples of diferrents configurations:

Embedded Derby (Default) :

<!-- Database connection settings -->
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url"></property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username"></property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit">false</property>

<!-- Pabre connection configuration -->
<property name="connection.directory"></property> <!-- Directory where to save the embedded database -->
<property name="connection.database.name">pabreTesting</property> <!-- Database name -->

<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect</property>

Client/Server Derby :

<!-- Database connection settings -->
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:derby://{URL}:{PORT}/{DATABASE NAME};create=true</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">{USERNAME}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">{PASSWORD}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit">false</property>

<!-- Pabre connection configuration -->
<property name="connection.directory"></property> <!-- Directory where to save the embedded database -->
<property name="connection.database.name">pabreTesting</property> <!-- Database name -->

<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect</property>

MySQL:

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:mysql://{URL}:{PORT}/{DATABASE NAME}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">{USERNAME}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">{PASSWORD}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit">false</property>

<!-- Pabre connection configuration -->
<property name="connection.directory"></property> <!-- Directory where to save the embedded database -->
<property name="connection.database.name">pabreTesting</property> <!-- Database name -->


<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>

PostgreSQL:

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://{URL}:{PORT}/{Database name}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">{USERNAME}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">{PASSWORD}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit">false</property>

<!-- Pabre connection configuration -->
<property name="connection.directory"></property> <!-- Directory where to save the embedded database -->
<property name="connection.database.name">pabreTesting</property> <!-- Database name -->

<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
