Simple HttpServer-based web application

HttpServer web test

Simple HttpServer web application prototype.

Build and test

Clone this GitHub repository:

git clone https://github.com/agjacome/httpserver-web-test.git

Build and test through Gradle Wrapper:

cd httpserver-web-test
./gradlew build check -s -i

Construct JAR package and run it:

./gradlew jar
java -jar ./build/libs/httpserver-web-test.jar

Main example appplication

The main example (see com.github.agjacome.httpserver.Main) binds the HTTP server to http://localhost:9000/httpserver. The example application contains four pages besides login, logout and a simple index, and a total of six users with different roles to access those pages.

Users and Roles

Current pages are correlated with their respective roles. So PAGE_1 role implies that the user can access Page 1. Roles can be combined, so a user can have access to multiple pages through his multiple roles. And page privileges can also be combined, so a page can be accessed by multiple roles (see page_23). There also exists an ADMIN special role that can access any page.

1. username: admin - password: adminpass - role: ADMIN
2. username: page1 - password: page1pass - role: PAGE_1
3. username: page2 - password: page2pass - role: PAGE_2
4. username: page3 - password: page3pass - role: PAGE_3
5. username: page12 - password: page12pass - role: PAGE_1 and PAGE2
6. username: page13 - password: page13pass - role: PAGE_1 and PAGE2

Usernames are case-insensitive, so admin and ADMIN are the same user. Passwords, of course, are case sensitive.

TODO

• Tests, the code is almost completely untested at the moment.
• API for User resource, with read-only access for users and write access exclusive for ADMIN role.
• Content-negotiation on API resources (text/plain and application/json at least).
