Camunda Operate Client

This project is designed to simplify communication between a Java backend and the Operate API of Camunda Platform 8.

How to build the client

Spring Boot

Add the dependency to your project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.camunda.spring</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-camunda-operate</artifactId>
  <version>${version.operate-client}</version>
</dependency>

Configure a Camunda Operate client with simple authentication:

operate:
  client:
    profile: simple

To adjust the (meaningful) default properties, you can also override them:

operate:
  client:
    profile: simple
    enabled: true
    base-url: http://localhost:8081
    session-timeout: PT10M
    username: demo
    password: demo

Configure a Camunda Operate client with identity authentication:

operate:
  client:
    profile: oidc
    client-id:
    client-secret:
    scope: # optional

To adjust the (meaningful) default properties, you can also override them:

operate:
  client:
    profile: oidc
    enabled: true
    base-url: http://localhost:8081
    auth-url: http://localhost:18080/auth/realms/camunda-platform/protocol/openid-connect/token
    audience: operate-api
    client-id:
    client-secret:
    scope: # optional

Configure a Camunda Operate client for Saas:

operate:
  client:
    profile: saas
    region:
    cluster-id:
    client-id:
    client-secret:

operate:
  client:
    profile: saas
    enabled: true
    base-url: https://${operate.client.region}.operate.camunda.io/${operate.client.cluster-id}
    auth-url: https://login.cloud.camunda.io/oauth/token
    audience: operate.camunda.io
    region:
    cluster-id:
    client-id:
    client-secret:

Plain Java

Add the dependency to your project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.camunda.spring</groupId>
  <artifactId>java-client-operate</artifactId>
  <version>${version.operate-client}</version>
</dependency>

Build a Camunda Operate client with simple authentication:

// properties you need to provide
URL operateUrl = URI.create("http://localhost:8081").toURL();
SimpleCredential credentials = new SimpleCredential("demo", "demo", operateUrl, Duration.ofMinutes(10));
// bootstrapping
SimpleAuthentication authentication = new SimpleAuthentication(credentials);
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
CamundaOperateClientConfiguration configuration = new CamundaOperateClientConfiguration(authentication, operateUrl, objectMapper, HttpClients.createDefault());
CamundaOperateClient client = new CamundaOperateClient(configuration);

Build a Camunda Operate client with identity authentication:

// properties you need to provide
String clientId = "";
String clientSecret = "";
String audience = "operate-api";
String scope = ""; // can be omitted if not required
URL operateUrl = URI.create("http://localhost:8081").toURL();
URL authUrl = URI.create("http://localhost:18080/auth/realms/camunda-platform/protocol/openid-connect/token");
// bootstrapping
JwtCredential credentials = new JwtCredential(clientId, clientSecret, audience, authUrl, scope);
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
JwtAuthentication authentication = new JwtAuthentication(credentials, objectMapper);
CamundaOperateClientConfiguration configuration = new CamundaOperateClientConfiguration(authentication, operateUrl, objectMapper, HttpClients.createDefault());
CamundaOperateClient client = new CamundaOperateClient(configuration);

Build a Camunda Operate client for Saas:

String region = "";
String clusterId = "";
String clientId = "";
String clientSecret = "";
// bootstrapping
URL operateUrl = URI.create("https://"+ region +".operate.camunda.io/" + clusterId).toURL();
URL authUrl = URI.create("https://login.cloud.camunda.io/oauth/token");
JwtCredential credentials = new JwtCredential(clientId, clientSecret, "operate.camunda.io", authUrl, null);
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
JwtAuthentication authentication = new JwtAuthentication(credentials, objectMapper);
CamundaOperateClientConfiguration configuration = new CamundaOperateClientConfiguration(authentication, operateUrl, objectMapper, HttpClients.createDefault());
CamundaOperateClient client = new CamundaOperateClient(configuration);

Getting and Searching

When you search objects, you can get results as List or as SearchResult. The SearchResult gives you a sortValues that you can use to paginate your results :

SearchQuery query = SearchQuery.builder().filter(someFilter).sort(new Sort("name", SortOrder.ASC)).size(20).searchAfter(previousResult.getSortValues()).build();

Process definitions

//Get a process definition by its key
ProcessDefinition def = client.getProcessDefinition(1L);

//Search process definitions
ProcessDefinitionFilter processDefinitionFilter = ProcessDefinitionFilter.builder().name("Customer Onboarding").build();
SearchQuery<ProcessDefinition> procDefQuery = SearchQuery.<ProcessDefinition>builder().filter(processDefinitionFilter).size(20).sort(new Sort("version", SortOrder.ASC)).build();

List<ProcessDefinition> list = client.searchProcessDefinitions(procDefQuery);

SearchResult<ProcessDefinition> result = client.searchProcessDefinitionResults(procDefQuery);

Process Instances

//search process instances based on filters
ProcessInstanceFilter instanceFilter = ProcessInstanceFilter.builder().bpmnProcessId("customer_onboarding_en").startDate(OperateDate.filter(new Date(), DateFilterRange.MONTH)).build();
SearchQuery<ProcessInstance> instanceQuery = SearchQuery.<ProcessInstance>builder().filter(instanceFilter).size(20).sort(new Sort("state", SortOrder.ASC)).build();

List<ProcessInstance> list = client.searchProcessInstances(instanceQuery);

SearchResult<ProcessInstance> result = client.searchProcessInstanceResults(instanceQuery);

//get a process instance by its key
ProcessInstance instance = client.getProcessInstance(instances.get(0).getKey());
