jsonp: JSON-P Object-based JSON generation and Stream-based JSON consuming

The jsonp quickstart demonstrates how to use the JSON-P API to produce object-based structures and then parse and consume them as stream-based JSON strings.

What is it?

The jsonp quickstart creates a JSON string through object-based JSON generation and then parses and consumes it using stream-based JSON.

It shows how to use the JSON-P API to generate, parse, and consume JSON files.

Building and running the quickstart application with a WildFly server distribution

Start the WildFly Standalone Server

Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the WildFly directory.
Start the WildFly server with the default profile by typing the following command.
```
$ WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh 
```
Note
For Windows, use the WILDFLY_HOME\bin\standalone.bat script.

Build and Deploy the Quickstart

Make sure WildFly server is started.
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
Type the following command to build the quickstart.
```
$ mvn clean package
```
Type the following command to deploy the quickstart.
```
$ mvn wildfly:deploy
```

This deploys the jsonp/target/jsonp.war to the running instance of the server.

You should see a message in the server log indicating that the archive deployed successfully.

Access the Application

Access the running application in a browser at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/jsonp/

You are presented with a simple form that is pre-filled with personal data. You can change those values if you prefer.
Click on the Generate JSON String from Personal Data button. The text area below the button presents a JSON string representing the data and values from the completed form.

Note that the JSON string contains String, number, boolean and array values.
Now, click on the Parse JSON String using Stream button. The text area below the button shows the events generated from the parsed JSON string.

Run the Integration Tests

This quickstart includes integration tests, which are located under the src/test/ directory. The integration tests verify that the quickstart runs correctly when deployed on the server.

Follow these steps to run the integration tests.

Make sure WildFly server is started.
Make sure the quickstart is deployed.
Type the following command to run the verify goal with the integration-testing profile activated.
```
$ mvn verify -Pintegration-testing 
```

Undeploy the Quickstart

When you are finished testing the quickstart, follow these steps to undeploy the archive.

Make sure WildFly server is started.
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
Type this command to undeploy the archive:
```
$ mvn wildfly:undeploy
```

Building and running the quickstart application with provisioned WildFly server

Instead of using a standard WildFly server distribution, you can alternatively provision a WildFly server to deploy and run the quickstart, by activating the Maven profile named provisioned-server when building the quickstart:

$ mvn clean package -Pprovisioned-server

The provisioned WildFly server, with the quickstart deployed, can then be found in the target/server directory, and its usage is similar to a standard server distribution, with the simplification that there is never the need to specify the server configuration to be started.

The server provisioning functionality is provided by the WildFly Maven Plugin, and you may find its configuration in the quickstart pom.xml:

        <profile>
            <id>provisioned-server</id>
            <build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                        <configuration>
                            <feature-packs>
                                <feature-pack>
                                    <location>org.wildfly:wildfly-galleon-pack:${version.server}</location>
                                </feature-pack>
                            </feature-packs>
                            <layers>...</layers>
                            <!-- deploys the quickstart on root web context -->
                            <name>ROOT.war</name>
                        </configuration>
                        <executions>
                            <execution>
                                <goals>
                                    <goal>package</goal>
                                </goals>
                            </execution>
                        </executions>
                    </plugin>
                    ...
                </plugins>
            </build>
        </profile>

Note	Since the plugin configuration above deploys quickstart on root web context of the provisioned server, the URL to access the application should not have the `/jsonp` path segment after `HOST:PORT`.

Run the Integration Tests with a provisioned server

The integration tests included with this quickstart, which verify that the quickstart runs correctly, may also be run with a provisioned server.

Follow these steps to run the integration tests.

Make sure the server is provisioned.

$ mvn clean package -Pprovisioned-server

Start the WildFly provisioned server, this time using the WildFly Maven Plugin, which is recommended for testing due to simpler automation. The path to the provisioned server should be specified using the jbossHome system property.
```
$ mvn wildfly:start -DjbossHome=target/server 
```
Type the following command to run the verify goal with the integration-testing profile activated, and specifying the quickstart’s URL using the server.host system property, which for a provisioned server by default is http://localhost:8080.
```
$ mvn verify -Pintegration-testing -Dserver.host=http://localhost:8080 
```
Shutdown the WildFly provisioned server, this time using the WildFly Maven Plugin too.
```
$ mvn wildfly:shutdown
```

Building and running the quickstart application with OpenShift

Build the WildFly Source-to-Image (S2I) Quickstart to OpenShift with Helm Charts

On OpenShift, the S2I build with Apache Maven uses an openshift Maven profile to provision a WildFly server, deploy and run the quickstart in OpenShift environment.

The server provisioning functionality is provided by the WildFly Maven Plugin, and you may find its configuration in the quickstart pom.xml:

        <profile>
            <id>openshift</id>
            <build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.wildfly.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>wildfly-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                        <configuration>
                            <feature-packs>
                                <feature-pack>
                                    <location>org.wildfly:wildfly-galleon-pack:${version.server}</location>
                                </feature-pack>
                                <feature-pack>
                                    <location>org.wildfly.cloud:wildfly-cloud-galleon-pack:${version.pack.cloud}</location>
                                </feature-pack>
                            </feature-packs>
                            <layers>...</layers>
                            <name>ROOT.war</name>
                        </configuration>
                        <executions>
                            <execution>
                                <goals>
                                    <goal>package</goal>
                                </goals>
                            </execution>
                        </executions>
                    </plugin>
                    ...
                </plugins>
            </build>
        </profile>

You may note that unlike the provisioned-server profile it uses the cloud feature pack which enables a configuration tuned for OpenShift environment.

Getting Started with WildFly for OpenShift and Helm Charts

This section contains the basic instructions to build and deploy this quickstart to WildFly for OpenShift or WildFly for OpenShift Online using Helm Charts.

Prerequisites

You must be logged in OpenShift and have an oc client to connect to OpenShift
Helm must be installed to deploy the backend on OpenShift.

Once you have installed Helm, you need to add the repository that provides Helm Charts for WildFly.

$ helm repo add wildfly https://docs.wildfly.org/wildfly-charts/
"wildfly" has been added to your repositories
$ helm search repo wildfly
NAME                    CHART VERSION   APP VERSION     DESCRIPTION
wildfly/wildfly         ...             ...            Build and Deploy WildFly applications on OpenShift
wildfly/wildfly-common  ...             ...            A library chart for WildFly-based applications

Deploy the WildFly Source-to-Image (S2I) Quickstart to OpenShift with Helm Charts

Log in to your OpenShift instance using the oc login command. The backend will be built and deployed on OpenShift with a Helm Chart for WildFly.

Navigate to the root directory of this quickstart and run the following command:

$ helm install jsonp -f charts/helm.yaml wildfly/wildfly --wait --timeout=10m0s
NAME: jsonp
...
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1

This command will return once the application has successfully deployed. In case of a timeout, you can check the status of the application with the following command in another terminal:

oc get deployment jsonp

The Helm Chart for this quickstart contains all the information to build an image from the source code using S2I on Java 17:

build:
  uri: https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart.git
  ref: 32.x
  contextDir: jsonp
deploy:
  replicas: 1

This will create a new deployment on OpenShift and deploy the application.

If you want to see all the configuration elements to customize your deployment you can use the following command:

$ helm show readme wildfly/wildfly

Get the URL of the route to the deployment.

$ oc get route jsonp -o jsonpath="{.spec.host}"

Access the application in your web browser using the displayed URL.

Note	The Maven profile named `openshift` is used by the Helm chart to provision the server with the quickstart deployed on the root web context, and thus the application should be accessed with the URL without the `/jsonp` path segment after `HOST:PORT`.

Run the Integration Tests with OpenShift

The integration tests included with this quickstart, which verify that the quickstart runs correctly, may also be run with the quickstart running on OpenShift.

Note	The integration tests expect a deployed application, so make sure you have deployed the quickstart on OpenShift before you begin.

Run the integration tests using the following command to run the verify goal with the integration-testing profile activated and the proper URL:

$ mvn verify -Pintegration-testing -Dserver.host=https://$(oc get route jsonp --template='{{ .spec.host }}')

Note	The tests are using SSL to connect to the quickstart running on OpenShift. So you need the certificates to be trusted by the machine the tests are run from.

Undeploy the WildFly Source-to-Image (S2I) Quickstart from OpenShift with Helm Charts

$ helm uninstall jsonp
