Parksmap application

Installation

As the application needs to interact with openshift’s API, you’ll need to provide some permissions to the default ServiceAccount for that.

Assuming you’re using the project <roadshow>:

oc new-project roadshow
oc policy add-role-to-user view system:serviceaccount:roadshow:default
oc create -f ./ose3/application-template.json
oc new-app parksmap-web

There’s some options that can be parameterized:

APPLICATION_NAME: Name of the application
MAVEN_MIRROR_URL: Url of a maven mirror
APPLICATION_HOSTNAME: Hostname/route to access your application

Example:

oc new-app parksmap-web -p APPLICATION_NAME=parksviewer -p APPLICATION_HOSTNAME=parksviewer.apps.127.0.0.1.xip.io -p MAVEN_MIRROR_URL=http://nexus.ci:8081/content/groups/public

Backends

Backend services require to have an specific annotation to be discovered:

type: parksmap-backend

Every backend should provide an endpoint located at /ws/info that will provide Backend information.

Here you can find 2 sample implementations:

Springboot:

@RequestMapping("/ws/info")
@RestController
public class BackendController{

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/", produces = "application/json")
    public Backend get() {
        return new Backend(....);
    }
}

JEE:

@Path("/ws/info")
public class BackendController{
    @GET
    @Path("/")
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Backend get() {
        return new Backend(....);
    }
}

Use

Once the application has been deployed, you can manually register/unregister a backend:

Test locally

This application can be run locally against while having the backend services running on a local openshift instance (all-in-one, oc cluster up or CDK).

Run it

To run the application, you should just:

mvn clean install spring-boot:run

Backends will be registered if they are deployed or when deployed, and unregistered when undeployed.

But you can test registration/unregistration manually.

Register

To register a backend:

curl -i http://parksviewer.apps.127.0.0.1.xip.io/ws/backends/register?service=nationalparks-roadshow.127.0.0.1.xip.io
