<h2><a name="Expose_Rest_Services"></a>Expose Rest Services</h2>
<p>The <a class="externalLink" href="http://cxf.apache.org">Apache CXF</a> is used to expose some classes/methods as REST Services.</p>
<p>Services use the standard interface/implementation pattern:</p>
<ul>
<li>interfaces and beans are located in archiva-rest-api maven module</li>
<li>implementation are located in archiva-rest-services maven module</li></ul>

<div class="section">
<h3><a name="Steps_to_expose_your_class_as_a_REST_Service."></a>Steps to expose your class as a REST Service.</h3>
<p>Here all the steps to expose a new class as a REST service.</p>
<div class="section">
<h4><a name="Interface_and_data_beans"></a>Interface and data beans</h4>
<p>All interfaces and data beans are added in the module archiva-rest-api:</p>
<ul>
<li>interface in the package: org.apache.archiva.rest.api.services .</li>
<li>data beans in the package: org.apache.archiva.rest.api.model .</li></ul>
<div class="section">
<h5><a name="Beans"></a>Beans</h5>
<p>As we want to be able to expose result as json or xml type, all beans use javax.xml.bind.annotation root element :</p>
<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint">@XmlRootElement( name = &quot;artifact&quot; )
public class Artifact
implements Serializable
All services will be able to return json or xml
@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML } )</pre></div></div>
<div class="section">
<h5><a name="JAXRS_annotations"></a>JAXRS annotations</h5>
<p>As we use interfaces/implementations pattern jaxrs annotations are only in interfaces level.</p>
<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint">@Path( &quot;/managedRepositoriesService/&quot; )
public interface ManagedRepositoriesService
{
// simple GET method no parameter
@Path( &quot;getManagedRepositories&quot; )
@GET
@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML } )
List&lt;ManagedRepository&gt; getManagedRepositories()
throws ArchivaRestServiceException;
// GET method with a path parameter
@Path( &quot;getManagedRepository/{repositoryId}&quot; )
@GET
@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML } )
@RedbackAuthorization( permissions = ArchivaRoleConstants.OPERATION_MANAGE_CONFIGURATION )
ManagedRepository getManagedRepository( @PathParam( &quot;repositoryId&quot; ) String repositoryId )
throws ArchivaRestServiceException;
// POST method to pass a data bean
@Path( &quot;addManagedRepository&quot; )
@POST
@Consumes( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML } )
@Produces( { MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML } )
@RedbackAuthorization( permissions = ArchivaRoleConstants.OPERATION_MANAGE_CONFIGURATION )
ManagedRepository addManagedRepository( ManagedRepository managedRepository )
throws ArchivaRestServiceException;</pre></div></div></div>
<div class="section">
<h4><a name="CXF.2FSpring_configuration"></a>CXF/Spring configuration</h4>
<p>REST services implementations are marked with the Spring annotation @Service</p>
<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint">package org.apache.archiva.rest.services;
......
@Service( &quot;managedRepositoriesService#rest&quot; )
public class DefaultManagedRepositoriesService
extends AbstractRestService
implements ManagedRepositoriesService</pre></div>
<p>Spring beans are declared as REST/CXF services in the Spring configuration</p>
<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint"> &lt;jaxrs:server id=&quot;archivaServices&quot; address=&quot;/archivaServices&quot;&gt;
.....
&lt;jaxrs:serviceBeans&gt;
&lt;ref bean=&quot;managedRepositoriesService#rest&quot;/&gt;
&lt;/jaxrs:serviceBeans&gt;
.....
&lt;/jaxrs:server&gt;
Note as we use @Service annotation package scanning must declared in spring configuration
&lt;beans xmlns=&quot;http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans&quot;
xmlns:xsi=&quot;http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;
xmlns:context=&quot;http://www.springframework.org/schema/context&quot;
xsi:schemaLocation=&quot;http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd ....&quot;&gt;
...
&lt;context:annotation-config/&gt;
&lt;context:component-scan
base-package=&quot;org.apache.archiva.rest.services&quot;/&gt;
...
&lt;/beans&gt;</pre></div>
<p>CXF servlet is declared as:</p>
<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint"> &lt;servlet&gt;
&lt;servlet-name&gt;CXFServlet&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
&lt;servlet-class&gt;org.apache.cxf.transport.servlet.CXFServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt;
&lt;load-on-startup&gt;1&lt;/load-on-startup&gt;
&lt;/servlet&gt;
&lt;servlet-mapping&gt;
&lt;servlet-name&gt;CXFServlet&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
&lt;url-pattern&gt;/restServices/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
&lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;</pre></div>
<p>So as it, REST services are availble in the following url <b>restServices/archivaServices/</b>.</p></div>
<div class="section">
<h4><a name="Redback_security_annotation"></a>Redback security annotation</h4>
<p>Some REST methods need some karma, so to prevent anonymous access methods can be marked as it:</p>
<div class="source"><pre class="prettyprint">
@RedbackAuthorization( permissions = ArchivaRoleConstants.OPERATION_MANAGE_CONFIGURATION )
ManagedRepository addManagedRepository( ManagedRepository managedRepository )
throws ArchivaRestServiceException;</pre></div>
<p>This method will need the current user to have the operation manage-configuration level.</p>
<p>For more details, have a look at <a class="externalLink" href="http://archiva.apache.org/redback/integration/rest.html">Redback REST</a>.</p></div></div></div>
