SStorageRest

Overview

A RESTful service providing functions for create, update, read a json object on MongoDB

Key features

The core of the service is java based. It offers a interface for performing CRUD operation through a remote backend over JSON object:

• Create
• Read
• Update
• Delete

Design and Architecture

The architecture implements a multiton pattern. The records are collected in two separated collection: the first one is a collection dedicated to a single SmartApps, the second One is a collection that collects all the records of all the smartApplications.

Access Mode

The endppoint of the service could be discovered by IS-Collector service. Now it is deployed under SmartArea VO. For accessing to the service it's needed to use the ic-client library in the following way:

                SimpleQuery query = queryFor(ServiceEndpoint.class);
		query.addCondition("$resource/Profile/Category/text() eq '"+sc+"' and $resource/Profile/Name eq '"+sn+"' ");
		DiscoveryClient<ServiceEndpoint> client = clientFor(ServiceEndpoint.class);
		List<ServiceEndpoint> resources = client.submit(query);

where "sc" and "sn" are respectively the "ServiceClass" and the "ServiceName" of the resource. In this case the "ServiceClass" is: DataStorage, the "ServiceName" is "SmartStorageREST".

The method client.submit(query) return a List of resources (tipically with only one resource) that match the query parameters.

Usage examples

To insert (create) a new record in the system, we might use:

• POST n039.smart-applications.area.pi.cnr.it:8080/storage/rest/resources?gcube-token=xxxxxxxx

To read a object with ID# 33245:

• GET http://n039.smart-applications.area.pi.cnr.it:8080/storage/rest/resources/33245?gcube-token=xxxxxxxx The same URI would be used for PUT and DELETE, to update and delete, respectively.

Here are proposed URIs for products:

• POST http://n039.smart-applications.area.pi.cnr.it:8080/storage/rest/resources?gcube-token=xxxxxxxx for creating a new object.

• GET|PUT|DELETE http://n039.smart-applications.area.pi.cnr.it:8080/storage/rest/resources/33245?gcube-token=xxxxxxxx

for reading, updating, deleting object with id 66432, respectively.

For deleting all the objects in the collection:

• DELETE http://n039.smart-applications.area.pi.cnr.it:8080/storage/rest/resources?gcube-token=xxxxxxxx
