This page describes the extension points for Storefront Orchestration in Infosys Equinox.

Overview

The Storefront Orchestration (SFO) microservice allows you to customize the existing functional flow with the new functional flow as per the business requirement. In this document, the sample code snippet provides the customization of authGetSession with ValidateSessionIdAndGetAuthToken.

Prerequisites

To customize the Storefront Orchestration (SFO) microservice, you need to understand the following:
  • Routes
  • RESTs
  • Endpoints

Steps Require for SFO Customization

To customize the SFO,
  1. Start the SFO Application
  2. Customize the SFO Extension
    1. Customize the existing functional flow
    2. Add a new endpoint in extensions
    3. Build Your Project

Starting the SFO Application

To start and view the SFO application:
  1. Start the SFO application with the <a href="https://jolokia.org/agent/jvm.html">jolokia jvm agent</a> jar. Use the below mentioned Jolokia JVM Agent:
    java -javaagent:jolokia-jvm-1.6.0-agent.jar=port=8778,host=localhost -jar orchestration-8.0.2.RELEASE-exec.jar
    Note:
    • Routes can be viewed and edited via hawt.io and jolokia agent.
    • DO NOT use the Jolokia Agent jar in the production environment.
  2. Make sure the SFO application is started with the Jolokia Agent as highlighted in the screenshot below:
  3. Start the Apache Camel Visualiser by using Hawtio. See hawt.io and follow the instructions.
  4. Click Add to add the connection to the Remote tab. The connection is added to the Remote tab:
  5. Click Connect to start the visualizer of the SFO application via Jolokia Agent. SFO application visualizer starts as shown below:
  6. Click the Source tab to see the selected route.

Customizing the SFO Extension

Apache Camel provides an interface CamelContextConfiguration to customize the Camel context before and after the SFO application startup. The sample code snippet is used for:

Customizing the Existing Functional Flow

Overview

This section explains how to customize the existing functional flow by using the sample code snippet. Intercept the direct:authGetSession endpoint in the ValidateSessionIdAndGetAuthToken router.

Sample Code Snippet

Use the following sample code snippet for customizing the existing functional flow:
  1. Create a Maven project by using the sample extension pom.xml.

    </project>
    where, version tag is the latest release version of the SFO microservice. Note: You need to avail access to the Skava artifactory to get the dependency jar. Contact Skava for further details.
  2. Create CustomCamelConfiguration.java.
    import org.apache.camel.CamelContext;
    import org.apache.camel.builder.AdviceWithRouteBuilder;
    import org.apache.camel.spring.boot.CamelContextConfiguration;
    import org.slf4j.Logger;
    import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
    import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
    import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
    import com.skava.orchestration.CamelContextUtilityBean;
    @Configuration
    public class CustomCamelConfiguration implements CamelContextConfiguration {
      private static final Logger LOGGER = LoggerFactory.getLogger(CustomCamelConfiguration.class);
      static {
        LOGGER.info("###### Custom camel configuration found ######");
    }
      @Autowired
      private CamelContextUtilityBean camelContextUtilityBean;
      public void beforeApplicationStart(CamelContext camelContext) {
        LOGGER.info("##### Custom camel configuration started #####");
        try {
        // Disable default routes in the camel context
        camelContext.getRouteDefinition("sendNotificationRoute")
            .autoStartup(false);
        // Delete default route in the camel context
        camelContext.removeRoute("deleteCustomerRoute");
        // Load external routes and rests
        camelContextUtilityBean.loadXmlRoutes(camelContext, "classpath:routes/*.xml");
        camelContextUtilityBean.loadXmlRests(camelContext, "classpath:rests/*.xml");
        // Some other ways to load external routes and rests
        // camelContextUtilityBean.loadXmlRoutes(camelContext, "file:D:/usr/local/exts/orchestration/camel-routes/*.xml");
        // camelContextUtilityBean.loadXmlRests(camelContext, "file:D:/usr/local/exts/orchestration/camel-rests/*.xml");
        // Intercept existing route with custom implementation
        camelContext.getRouteDefinition("ValidateSessionIdAndGetAuthToken")
            .adviceWith(camelContext, new AdviceWithRouteBuilder() {
            @Override
            public void configure() {
                interceptSendToEndpoint("direct:authGetSession")
                .skipSendToOriginalEndpoint()
                .log("Redirect to custom get session")
                .to("direct:customGetSession");
            }
            });
        } catch (Exception e) {
        LOGGER.error("Exception occured while loading custom routes");
        throw new RuntimeException("Exception occured while loading custom routes", e);
        }
      }
      public void afterApplicationStart(CamelContext camelContext) {
        LOGGER.info("##### Custom camel configuration done #####");
      }
    Note: The SFO’s authGetSession functionality will get replaced by customGetSession functionality from the extension.
  3. Create src/main/resources/routes/custom-auth-routes.xml. Note: The customGetSession should be implemented as shown in the sample below:
    <routes xmlns="<a href="https://camel.apache.org/schema/spring"> https://camel.apache.org/schema/spring</a>">
     <route id="customGetSessionRoute">
      <from uri="direct:customGetSession" />
      <log message="Custom get session router" loggingLevel="INFO" />
      <setHeader headerName="CamelHttpResponseCode">
       <simple>200</simple>
      </setHeader>
      <setHeader headerName="Exchange.HTTP_URI">
        <simple><a href="https://localhost/orchestration/stubs/session.json"> https://localhost/orchestration/stubs/session.json</a></simple>
      </setHeader>
      <to uri="{{skava.component.http}}"/>
      <unmarshal>
        <json library="Jackson" unmarshalTypeName="com.skava.auth.model.Session"/>
      </unmarshal>
     </route>
    </routes>

Adding a New Endpoint in Extensions

In this section, you will see how to add a new endpoint by using the sample code snippet. Here is the sample code snippet for creating src/main/resources/rests/custom-rests.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rest path="/extension"
 xmlns="<a href="https://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">https://camel.apache.org/schema/spring</a>">
 <description>Custom rest for extension
 </description>
 <get uri="/ping" produces="application/json"
  outType="java.lang.String">
  <description>Custom rest ping</description>
  <responseMessage message="Ok" code="200"
   responseModel="java.lang.String" />
  <route id="extensionRestPingRoute">
   <log message="Extension rest ping call triggered"
    loggingLevel="INFO" />
   <transform>
    <simple>Extension rest ping ${bean:java.lang.System?method=currentTimeMillis}
    </simple>
   </transform>
  </route>
 </get>
</rest>

Building Your Project

To build your project,
    1. Run the following maven command:
      mvn clean install
      Note: The extension jar will be available in the target directory.
    2. Move the extension jar from the target directory to the extensions directory.
    3. Start the SFO jar with available extension jar by using the following command:
      java -cp orchestration-8.0.2.RELEASE-exec.jar -Dloader.path=extensions\ org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher
      where,
      • orchestration-8.0.2.RELEASE-EXEC.jar represents the application jar of a particular release.
      • -Dloader.path contains the path of the generated jar within the extensions directory.
    4. Verify the customization has been applied or not by checking the Swagger where you can find the extension as a new tag.
