WebAppUploadModule

Introduction

This module performs the following task:

  1. Upload a web-frontend to the webhosting-module

  2. Automatically put the current apiomat.js-file of the application into the filesystem of the web-fronted deployed on the webhosting-module.

The module works as an post-request as it modifies the content on the server.

The Module depends on the module "Webhosting"

Configuration

Parameter-Name

Typ

Example

Explanation

customer

Query-Paramter

klaus

The name of one valid customer of this server has to be transmitted.

jspath

Query-Parameter

webcontent/scripts/vendor/apiomat/

This indicates the path where the apiomat.js-file should be put into the filesystem of the webhosting-module. For example, let's say you have put your frontend into a zip-file named "webcontent.zip" and you would like to put the apiomat.js into the subfolder "scripts/vendor/apiomat/". Just put the name of the zip-file infront of this path to form "webcontent/scripts/vendor/apiomat/".

Binary-Data Body of Post

webcontent.zip

Your webfrontend compressed into a zip-file, transferred as binary data.

The URL to reach the function is:

<host-base>/yambas/rest/modules/webappuploadmodule/<appname>/spec/upload?customer=<customer>&jspath=<jspath>

Examples

Before using the module, you have to add it to your application via the dashboard.

The Example will be sent with the following parameters:

  • Server-Address: https://epdemo.apiomat.enterprises

  • User-Name: michel@apiomat.com , Password: iAmAPassword

  • Application-Name: Vacation-App

  • System: LIVE

  • Custer-Name: epdemo

  • File to upload: webcontent.zip

  • Path inside the webcontent.zip where the apiomat.js-File should be put: webcontent/build/

This adds up to the URL:

https://epdemo.apiomat.enterprises/yambas/rest/modules/webappuploadmodule/VacationApp/spec/upload?customer=epdemo&jspath=webcontent/build/

Example with Postman

get Postman: https://www.getpostman.com/

1. Authorization

2. Set Headers:

3. Set Body

Here you have to put in the .zip-File with your web-frontend as binary-data!

Example with Java

Using the Apache http-Client library: https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/index.html .

String url = "https://epdemo.apiomat.enterprises/yambas/rest/modules/webappuploadmodule/VacationApp/spec/upload?customer=epdemo&jspath=webcontent/build/";
String relativePathToWebfrontendZip = "META-INF/webcontent.zip";
String username = michel@apiomat.com;
String password = iAmAPassword;
String apiKey = 123456789;
String system = "LIVE";
 
 
public void post() {
InputStream payLoad = getClass().getResourceAsStream(relativePathToWebfrontendZip);
 
PostMethod request = new PostMethod(url);
 
String credentials = username + ":" + password;
String encoded = new String(Base64.encodeBase64(credentials.getBytes("UTF-8")), "UTF-8");
requestMethod.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic " + encoded);
request.setRequestHeader("ContentType", "application/json");
request.setRequestHeader("x-apiomat-apikey", apiKey);
request.setRequestHeader("x-apiomat-system", system);
 
request.setRequestEntity(new InputStreamRequestEntity(payLoad));
try {
this.client.executeMethod(request);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return request;
}

Confirm if upload worked

This step obviously is optional.

  1. Download Filezilla to access the server via FTP ( https://filezilla-project.org/ )

  2. Use Filezilla to connect to the FTP-Server by entering the admin-credentials of your server and checking your apiomat.yaml for the FTP port (defaults to 2021)

  3. When connected succesfully, the right panel will show all applications currently deployed on this server. Search for your application

  4. Open the folder of your application and navigate to the folder which you passed by the "jspath"-variable. There you should find the apiomat.js-file

Using the Module from another Module

  1. Create your Module and download the Native-Module-Code

  2. Include the "WebAppUploadModule" in the "usedModules"-Annotation of your <moduleName>.java-Class.

  3. Now you can use the Method "UploadHelper.uploadContentToWebhosting( ... )" which triggers the same upload-process as described above.

Class-Name

UploadHelper

 

Method-Name

uploadContentToWebhosting

 

Type

Static

 

Returns

Type: URL

The URL where the apiomat.js has been put onto the server

Parameters

Pos 1: String

The customer name

 

Pos 2: String

The path where the javascript-file should be put

 

Pos 3: Inputstream

The webcontent.zip-File

 

Pos 4: Request

The Request, containtaing the User-Name and Password, the Application-Name and the System

 

Pos 5: HttpServletRequest

Contains the informations about the host (name and protocol)

This is an example on how to call the method from any mehtod. Attention:

The example assumes that there is already an incoming request and httpServeltRequest you can use.

If not, you have to create your own!

public URL useUploadModuleExternally( Request request, HttpServletRequest servletRequest )
{
 
// If you're inside the RestClass, you can use these call to get the Request and HttpServletRequests
// used to call this Rest-Method
// Request request = getAOMRequest();
// HttpServletRequest servletRequest = getHttpServletRequest();
 
String customer = "epdemo";
String jspath = "webcontent/build/";
InputStream webcontent = getClass( ).getResourceAsStream( "META-INF/webcontent.zip" );
 
try
{
return UploadHelper.uploadContentToWebhosting( customer, jspath, webcontent, request, servletRequest );
}
catch ( UploadModuleException e )
{
RestTestModule.AOM.log( request.getApplicationName( ),
"Execution of the upload-Process failed. Please look at the stack-trace" );
e.printStackTrace( );
}
return null;
