ApacheCon EU 2016

Invoking and testing a Web Service endpoint in Java is generally quite a laborious task. Most of the tools aimed at simplifying the process still require developer knowledge like XML / SOAP. In this presentation I will introduce JBoss Wise, which is an open source utility internally relying on Apache CXF JAX-WS tooling and meant to simplify WS invocation/testing. In particular, I'll show how its web GUI has been created and demontrate how it can be used to effectively test a WS endpoint without writing a single line of code or XML. This basically shifts the focus from the technology to the data, allowing for fast/agile WS testing and enabling business acceptance tests directly from analysts.

OpenId Connect (OIDC), an identity layer built on top of the OAuth2 protocol, has become the standard way of authenticating users on the modern web. Apache CXF is a popular and widely deployed web services framework, and Apache CXF Fediz is an Identity Provider for the web which supports multiple protocols. In this presentation Colm O hEigeartaigh and Sergey Beryozkin will introduce the CXF OAuth2 and OIDC modules, show how the Fediz OIDC Identity Provider has been realized by integrating these modules with the Fediz Authentication System and finish with a demo showing how Fediz OIDC can link with well-known 3rd party OIDC providers .

This talk will show how you can use Swagger-Codegen to generate a complete REST application using Apache CXF3 based on a Swagger contract and deploy it to application servers.



Features in the generated server stub include:

* Bean-Validation

* Logging

* Automatic operation validation using @Valid

* Using transparent gzipping of requests



First I'll demo how to generate the applications & how they work in the container (Tomcat + Jboss EAP), showing how the features work there.



The talk will continue how this is done using Mustache-templates in Swagger-Codegen and how additional features can be added to the generator (e.g. adding forced Gzip-support, enhancing test cases, add additional configuration files, etc.).



Additionally the Swagger toolchain will be shown during the talk (Swagger UI, Swagger Editor, Swagger2Markup to generate PDFs).
