verinice REST service

This project which provides a REST service for a verinice database. The verinice REST service is a Spring Boot application build with Maven.

Modules

The project consist of several modules to separate concerns. This section describes the modules of the project.

verinice-interface

Module verinice-interface contains classes and interfaces which are shared by all other modules.

verinice-persistence

Module verinice-persistence contains objects to access data from the database and the Java Persistence API (JPA) configuration.

verinice-service

Module verinice-service contains a Java API of the service.

verinice-rest

Module verinice-rest contains the REST controller for the service.

Build

To build the application run

mvn install

you can then install the ./verinice-rest/target/verinice-rest-xxx.jar.

If want to start SpringBoot in development you can then run

mvn -pl verinice-rest spring-boot:run

assuming you have proper database setup up, see application.properties.

Testing

Integration tests are written in python using Requests and standard python unittest.

Since no maven plugin has been found which could start spring-boot and run the test against a custom database a shell script has been written to batch several steps. To run the integration tests execute

./integration-test

The script uses the following variables

  • VERINICEDBSERVER the database server URL
  • VERINICEDB the database name to connect to at $VERINICEDBSERVER
  • VERINICEUSER the user which spring should use for the database (has to exists)
  • VERINICEPASSWORD the password for the database $VERINICEUSER
  • VERINICEDUMP the location to a database dumb which shall be used to recreate the $VERINICEDB
  • SPRINGDELAY time to sleep before running the tests to give spring time to boot

i. e. to run the test against a custom database with a special user run

VERINICEDB=databasename VERINICEUSER=user VERINICEPASSWORD=password ./integration-test

Documentation

The Rest-API is documented using the spring-swagger-framework. To view the documentation run the application and visit localhost:8081/swagger-ui.html.

Releasing

To release a new version (here 0.1 is assumed) of the project, you should

  1. Initially checkout the develop branch.

  2. Create a new branch release/0.1

     git checkout -b release/0.1
    
  3. Until QA gives green light:

    1. Update project version using maven.

       mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=0.1-beta1
      
    2. Commit, tag and push the release branch with updated version.

       git commit -a
       git push origin release/0.1
       git tag -s 0.1-beta1
       git push origin 0.1-beta1
      
    3. Checkout the beta tag.

       git checkout 0.1-beta1
      
    4. Do a deployment build.

       mvn clean package
      
    5. Put deployment to QA.

    6. If QA fails, fix bugs onto branch feature/0.1 and jump back to 3.1.

  4. Update the project version.

     mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=0.1
     git commit -a
     git push origin release/0.1
    
  5. Merge the release branch to master and tag.

     git checkout master
     git merge --no-ff release/0.1
     git tag -s 0.1
    
  6. Checkout the tag.

     git checkout 0.1
    
  7. Do a deployment build.

     mvn clean package
    
  8. Release deployment.

  9. Merge the release branch to develop to get bugfixes.

     git co develop
     git merge --no-ff release/0.1
     git push origin develop
    

Troubleshooting

Could not resolve dependencies

If you get an error like this

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project verinice-rest: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.verinice:verinice-rest:jar:0.3: The following artifacts could not be resolved: org.verinice:verinice-interface:jar:0.3, org.verinice:verinice-service:jar:0.3: Failure to find org.verinice:verinice-interface:jar:0.3 in https://repo.spring.io/libs-release was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of spring-releases has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

you have to run

mvn install
