| 19 | +The `todo-jakarta-data` quickstart demonstrates how to implement a backend that exposes a HTTP API with Jakarta REST |
| 20 | +to manage a list of ToDo which are persisted in a database with Jakarta Data. |
| 21 | +It is very similar to the `todo-backend` quickstart but uses Jakarta Data instead of Jakarta Persistence to handle |
| 22 | +interaction with the backend database. |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +ifndef::ProductRelease[] |
| 25 | +This quickstart shows how to set up a local deployment of this backend as well as a deployment on OpenShift to connect |
| 26 | +to a PostgreSQL database also hosted on OpenShift. |

| 34 | +== What is it? |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +The `todo-jakarta-data` quickstart demonstrates how to implement a backend that exposes a HTTP API with `Jakarta REST` |
| 37 | +to manage a list of ToDo which are persisted in a database with `Jakarta Data`. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +* The backend exposes a HTTP API to manage a list of todos that complies with the specs defined at https://todobackend.com/specs/index.html[todobackend.com]. |
| 40 | +* It requires a connection to a PostgreSQL database to persist the todos. |
| 41 | +ifndef::ProductRelease[] |
| 42 | +* It uses the Server Provisioning for local and cloud deployment |
| 43 | +endif::[] |
| 44 | +* It can be build with {productName} S2I images for cloud deployment |
| 45 | +ifndef::ProductRelease[] |
| 46 | +* It is deployed on OpenShift using the https://docs.wildfly.org/wildfly-charts/[Helm Chart for {productName}]. |
| 47 | +endif::[] |
| 48 | +ifdef::ProductRelease[] |
| 49 | +* It is deployed on OpenShift using the https://jbossas.github.io/eap-charts//[Helm Chart for {productName}]. |
| 50 | +endif::[] |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +This quickstart is the same as the `todo-backend` quickstart, but uses `Jakarta Data` for its persistence layer, |
| 53 | +instead of `Jakarta Persistence`. |
| 54 | +To see the differences, compare this quickstart's `ToDoRepository` interface with the `ToDoDAO` interface |
| 55 | +and `ToDoDAOImpl` class in `todo-backend`. |

| 61 | + |
| 62 | +== Architecture |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +=== Architecture with S2I |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +This backend is built using {productName} S2I Builder and Runtime images. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +ifndef::ProductRelease[] |
| 69 | +When the image is built, `org.wildfly.plugins:wildfly-maven-plugin` plugin provisions the {productName} application server and all the feature packs it needs for its features. |
| 70 | +The layers are defined in the `pom.xml` file in the `<configuration>` section of the `org.wildfly.plugins:wildfly-maven-plugin` plugin: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +[source,xml] |
| 73 | +---- |
| 74 | +<layers> |
| 75 | + <layer>cloud-server</layer> |
| 76 | + <layer>jakarta-data</layer> |
| 77 | + <layer>postgresql-datasource</layer> |
| 78 | +</layers> |

| 80 | +endif::[] |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +ifdef::ProductRelease[] |
| 83 | +When the image is built, `org.jboss.eap.plugins:eap-maven-plugin` plugin provisions the {productName} application server and all the feature packs it needs for its features. |
| 84 | +The layers are defined in the `pom.xml` file in the `<configuration>` section of the `org.jboss.eap.plugins:eap-maven-plugin` plugin: |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +[source,xml] |
| 87 | +---- |
| 88 | +<layers> |
| 89 | + <layer>cloud-server</layer> |
| 90 | + <layer>jakarta-data</layer> |
| 91 | + <layer>postgresql-datasource</layer> |
| 92 | +</layers> |
| 93 | +---- |
| 94 | +endif::[] |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +The `cloud-server` layer provides everything needed to run the backend on OpenShift. This also includes access to |
| 97 | +Jakarta EE APIs such as CDI, Jakarta REST, etc, along with the Hibernate support used by Jakarta Data. |
| 98 | +The `jakarta-data` layer provides the Jakarta Data API. |
| 99 | +These two layers come from the {productName} feature pack provided in the |
| 100 | +{productName} S2I builder image. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +ifndef::ProductRelease[] |
| 103 | +The `postgresql-datasource` layer provides a JDBC driver and DataSource to connect to a PostgreSQL database. It is also provided by |
| 104 | +`org.wildfly:wildfly-datasources-galleon-pack` which is included in the WildFly S2I image. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +The Git repository for this feature pack is hosted at https://github.com/wildfly-extras/wildfly-datasources-galleon-pack. |
| 107 | +It provides JDBC drivers and datasources for different databases but for this quickstart, we will only need the `postgresql-datasource`. |
| 108 | +endif::[] |

| 110 | +ifdef::ProductRelease[] |
| 111 | +The `postgresql-datasource` layer provides a JDBC driver and DataSource to connect to a PostgreSQL database. It is also provided by |

| 116 | +endif::[] |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +=== Generation of the Jakarta Data Repository implementation |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +A key feature of Jakarta Data is it does not require application developers to write detailed code to write from and write to the backend database. |
| 121 | +Developers just need declare their entities (using Jakarta Persistence annotations like `@Entity`) and then write an repository interface that describes the desired persistence operations, using the Jakarta Data annotations. |
| 122 | +It is then up to the Jakarta Data implementation to generate an implementation of that interface. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +WildFly's implementation of Jakarta Data, Hibernate Data Repositories, generates that implementation at application build time using an annotation processor run as part of compilation of the application. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +This is handled in the project `pom.xml` by configuring the `maven-compiler-plugin`: |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +[source,xml] |
| 129 | +---- |
| 130 | +<plugin> |
| 131 | + <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> |
| 132 | + <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> |
| 133 | + <configuration> |
| 134 | + <annotationProcessorPaths> |
| 135 | + <path> |
| 136 | + <groupId>org.hibernate.orm</groupId> |
| 137 | + <artifactId>hibernate-jpamodelgen</artifactId> |
| 138 | + <version>${version.org.hibernate.jpamodelgen}</version> |
| 139 | + </path> |
| 140 | + </annotationProcessorPaths> |
| 141 | + </configuration> |
| 142 | +</plugin> |
| 143 | +---- |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +=== Connection to the PostgreSQL database |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +ifndef::ProductRelease[] |
| 148 | +As mentioned, the JDBC drivers and datasource configuration that the backend uses to connect to the PostgreSQL database |
| 149 | +is provided by the `org.wildfly:wildfly-datasources-galleon-pack` feature pack. |
| 150 | +endif::[] |
| 151 | +ifdef::ProductRelease[] |
| 152 | +As mentioned, the JDBC drivers and datasource configuration that the backend uses to connect to the PostgreSQL database |
| 153 | +is provided by the `org.jboss.eap:eap-datasources-galleon-pack` feature pack. |
| 154 | +endif::[] |
| 155 | + |
| 156 | +By default, it exposes a single datasource. |
| 157 | +In the backend, the name of this datasource is `ToDos` and is specified in the `persistence.xml` to configure Hibernate: |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +[source,xml] |
| 160 | +---- |
| 161 | +<persistence-unit name="ToDos"> |
| 162 | + <jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/ToDos</jta-data-source> |
| 163 | +</persistence-unit> |
| 164 | +---- |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +At runtime, we only need a few environment variables to establish the connection from {productName} to the external PostgreSQL database: |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +* `POSTGRESQL_DATABASE` - the name of the database (that will be called `todos`) |
| 169 | +* `POSTGRESQL_SERVICE_HOST` - the host to connect to the database |
| 170 | +* `POSTGRESQL_SERVICE_PORT` - The port to connect to the database |
| 171 | +* `POSTGRESQL_USER` & `POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD` - the credentials to connect to the database |
| 172 | +* `POSTGRESQL_DATASOURCE` - The name of the datasource (as mentioned above, it will be `ToDos`) |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +=== Filters for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +The Web frontend for this quickstart uses JavaScript calls to query the backend's HTTP API. |
| 177 | +We must enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) filters in the `undertow` subsystem of {productName} to allow |
| 178 | +these HTTP requests to succeed. |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +ifdef::ProductRelease[] |
| 181 | +==== Configuration with {productName} S2I |
| 182 | + |
| 183 | +As we use S2I to provision the server and build the application, we provide a CLI script that contains all the commands to create and configure the CORS filters in Undertow. This script is located in the `src/scripts/cors_filters.cli`. |
| 184 | +endif::[] |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +This script is executed at build time and will provide the following HTTP headers to enabled CORS: |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +* `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` |
| 189 | +* `Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTION, PUT, DELETE, PATCH` |
| 190 | +* `Access-Control-Allow-Headers: accept, authorization, content-type, x-requested-with` |
| 191 | +* `Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true` |
| 192 | +* `Access-Control-Max-Age: 1` |
| 193 | + |
| 194 | +By default, the backend accepts requests from any origin (`*`). This is only simplicity. It is possible to restrict |
| 195 | +the allowed origin using the environment variable `CORS_ORIGIN` at runtime. |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +== Run the Backend Locally |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +=== Package the Backend |
| 200 | + |
| 201 | +The backend is packaged and deployed on a provisioned server: |
| 202 | + |
| 203 | +[source,options="nowrap"] |
| 204 | +---- |
| 205 | +$ mvn clean package |
| 206 | +---- |
| 207 | + |
| 208 | +=== Run a Local PostgreSQL Database |
| 209 | + |
| 210 | +Before running the backend locally, we need to have a local PostgreSQL database that we can connect to. |
| 211 | +We use the `postgresql` docker image to create one: |
| 212 | + |
| 213 | +[source,options="nowrap"] |
| 214 | +---- |
| 215 | +$ docker run --name todo-backend-db -e POSTGRES_USER=todos -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword -p 5432:5432 postgres |
| 216 | +---- |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +This will create a database named `todos` that we can connect to on `localhost:5432` with the credentials `todos / mysecretpassword`. |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +=== Run the Application |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +With the PostgreSQL database running, we can start the backend by passing the required environment variables to connect to the database: |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +[source,options="nowrap"] |
| 225 | +---- |
| 226 | +$ ./target/server/bin/standalone.sh -Denv.POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=todos -Denv.POSTGRESQL_DATASOURCE=ToDos -Denv.POSTGRESQL_SERVICE_HOST=localhost -Denv.POSTGRESQL_SERVICE_PORT=5432 -Denv.POSTGRESQL_USER=todos -Denv.POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD=mysecretpassword |
| 227 | +---- |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +The backend is running, and we can use the HTTP API to manage a list of todos: |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +[source,options="nowrap"] |
| 232 | +---- |
| 233 | +# get a list of todos |
| 234 | +$ curl http://localhost:8080/todo-jakarta-data |
| 235 | +[] |
| 236 | +
|
| 237 | +# create a todo with the title "This is my first todo item!" |
| 238 | +$ curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"title": "This is my first todo item!"}' http://localhost:8080 |
| 239 | +{"completed":false,"id":1,"order":0,"title":"This is my first todo item!","url":"https://localhost:8080/1"}% |
| 240 | +
|
| 241 | +# get a list of todos with the one that was just created |
| 242 | +$ curl http://localhost:8080/todo-jakarta-data |
| 243 | +[{"completed":false,"id":1,"order":0,"title":"This is my first todo item!","url":"https://localhost:8080/1"}] |
| 244 | +---- |
| 245 | + |
| 246 | +Please note that the quickstart includes integration tests, which may be executed using the following command: |
| 247 | + |
| 248 | +[source,subs="attributes+",options="nowrap"] |
| 249 | +---- |
| 250 | +$ mvn verify -Pintegration-testing |
| 251 | +---- |

| 276 | +== Conclusion |
| 277 | +
|
| 278 | +This quickstart shows how the datasource feature pack provided by {productName} simplifies the deployment |
| 279 | +of a {productName} Jakarta EE backend on OpenShift to connect to an external database and exposes an HTTP API. |
| 280 | +
|
| 281 | +The use of a Server Provisioned deployment makes it seamless to move from a local deployment for development to a |
| 282 | +deployment on cloud platforms such as OpenShift and Kubernetes. |
