JAX-RS Basic Demo With HTTPS communications =========================================== This demo takes the JAX-RS basic demo a step further by doing the communication using HTTPS. The JAX-RS server is configured with a HTTPS listener. The listener requires client authentication so the client must provide suitable credentials. The listener configuration is taken from the "CherryServer.xml" file located under demo directory. The client is configured to provide its certificate "CN=Wibble" and chain stored in the Java KeyStore "certs/wibble.jks" to the server. The server authenticates the client's certificate using its trust store "certs/truststore.jks", which holds the Certificate Authorities' certificates. Likewise the client authenticates the server's certificate "CN=Cherry" and chain against the same trust store. Note also the usage of the cipherSuitesFilter configuration in the configuration files, where each party imposes different ciphersuites contraints, so that the ciphersuite eventually negotiated during the TLS handshake is acceptable to both sides. This may be viewed by adding a -Djavax.net.debug=all argument to the JVM. But please note that it is not adviseable to store sensitive data such as passwords stored in a clear text configuration file, unless the file is sufficiently protected by OS level permissions. The KeyStores may be configured programatically so using user interaction may be employed to keep passwords from being stored in configuration files. The approach taken here is for demonstration reasons only. Please review the README in the samples directory before continuing. Prerequisites ------------- If your environment already includes cxf-manifest.jar on the CLASSPATH, and the JDK and ant bin directories on the PATH it is not necessary to set the environment as described in the samples directory README. If your environment is not properly configured, or if you are planning on using wsdl2java, javac, and java to build and run the demos, you must set the environment. Building and running the demo using Ant --------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), the Ant build.xml file can be used to build and run the demo. The server and client targets automatically build the demo. Using either UNIX or Windows: ant server (from one command line window) ant client (from a second command line window) To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, run "ant clean". Building the demo using wsdl2java and javac ------------------------------------------- From the base directory of this sample (i.e., where this README file is located), first create the target directory build/classes and then compile the provided client and server applications with the commands: For UNIX: mkdir -p build/classes export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$CXF_HOME/lib/cxf-manifest.jar:./build/classes javac -d build/classes src/demo/jaxrs/client/*.java javac -d build/classes src/demo/jaxrs/server/*.java For Windows: mkdir build\classes Must use back slashes. set classpath=%classpath%;%CXF_HOME%\lib\cxf-manifest.jar;.\build\classes javac -d build\classes src\demo\jaxrs\client\*.java javac -d build\classes src\demo\jaxrs\server\*.java Finally, copy resource files into the build/classes directory with the commands: For UNIX: cp ./src/demo/jaxrs/client/*.xml ./build/classes/demo/jaxrs/client cp ./src/demo/jaxrs/server/*.xml ./build/classes/demo/jaxrs/server For Windows: copy src\demo\jaxrs\client\*.xml build\classes\demo\jaxrs\client copy src\demo\jaxrs\server\*.xml build\classes\demo\jaxrs\server Running the demo using java --------------------------- From the samples/jax_rs/basic_https directory run the following commands. They are entered on a single command line. For UNIX (must use forward slashes): java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.jaxrs.server.Server & java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=$CXF_HOME/etc/logging.properties demo.jaxrs.client.Client The server process starts in the background. After running the client, use the kill command to terminate the server process. For Windows (may use either forward or back slashes): start java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.jaxrs.server.Server java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CXF_HOME%\etc\logging.properties demo.jaxrs.client.Client A new command windows opens for the server process. After running the client, terminate the server process by issuing Ctrl-C in its command window. To remove the code generated from the WSDL file and the .class files, either delete the build directory and its contents or run: ant clean Certificates ------------ If the certificates are expired for some reason, a shell script in bin/gencerts.sh will generate the set of certificates needed for this sample. Just do the following: cd certs sh ../bin/gencerts.sh
