arextest / arex-storage

A dedicated service for storing and managing recorded and replayed data in AREX.

AREX Storage Service

Introduction

Overview

This HTTP web API manages and accesses recording and replaying resources from a remote repository. Resources are organized as MockItem instances, each corresponding to a MockCategoryType enum.

Key Functions

1. Agent Recording
   • Assigns version numbers to configuration files.
   • Saves entry points and dependent instances implementing MockItem.
2. Agent Replaying
   • Reads configuration files by version number prior to replaying.
   • Handles requests, performs diffs, and retrieves mock results as responses.
3. Scheduled Replaying
   • Uses MainEntry (extending MockItem) as replay trigger sources.
   • Provides diff response sources saved from agent’s replay.

Persistence and Caching

• Recording Storage (MongoDB): Default persistence for AREX’s agent recording. Collections are time-managed with TTL index expiration.
• Replaying Cache (Redis): Default cache for AREX’s replaying.

MockItem Interface

The base interface MockItem, defined in arex.storage.model.mocker, is structured as follows:

  public interface MockItem {
      String getReplayId();
  
      void setReplayId(String replayId);
  
      String getRecordId();
  
      void setRecordId(String recordId);
  
      /**
       * millis from utc format without timezone
       */
      void setCreateTime(long createTime);
  }

Additional Details

• Identifiers: replayId and recordId are generated by AREX's Agent.

• MainEntry Interface: Defined in arex.storage.model.mocker, MainEntry extends MockItem and includes methods for accessing request details, category type, format, and more.

    public interface MainEntry extends MockItem {
  
        /**
         * @return utc format without timezone
         */
        long getCreateTime();
        /**
          * The request's content encoded by base64
          *
          */
        String getRequest();
  
        /**
         * @return the mock category type value from MockCategoryType
         * @see MockCategoryType
         */
        @JsonIgnore
        int getCategoryType();
  
        /**
         * How to serialize the request's body to target ,default using application/json
         *
         * @return application/json or others
         */
        default String getFormat() {
            return null;
        }         
  
        /**
         * @return default http post
         */
        default String getMethod() {
            return "POST";
        }
  
        default Map<String, String> getRequestHeaders() {
            return null;
        }
  
        default String getPath() {
            return null;
        }
    }

Getting Started

1. Configuring Remote Storage: Modify the localhost default value in resources/META-INF/application.properties for Redis and MongoDB connections. Example:

   arex.storage.cache.redis.host=redis://10.3.2.42:6379/
   arex.mongo.uri=mongodb://arex:iLoveArex@10.3.2.42:27017/arex_storage_db
   

2. Extending Providers: Implement your own providers using Java's SPI mechanism. The CacheProvider interface is defined as:

   public interface CacheProvider {
       /**
        * put the value with expired seconds
        * @param key the key for value
        * @param expiredSeconds  the expired seconds
        * @param value bytes of the object
        * @return true if success,others false
        */
       boolean put(byte[] key, long expiredSeconds, byte[] value);    
           
       /**
        * Get the value of a key
        *
        * @param key the bytes of key
        * @return null when key does not exist.
        */
       byte[] get(byte[] key);
   
       /**
        * Increment integer value of the key by on
        *
        * @param key the key
        * @return The value of the key after increment
        */
       long incrValue(byte[] key);
   
       /**
        * Decrement the integer value of a key by one.
        *
        * @param key the key
        * @return the value of key after decrement
        */
       long decrValue(byte[] key);
   
       /**
        * Delete value specified by the key
        *
        * @param key the bytes of key
        * @return True if key is removed.
        */
       boolean remove(byte[] key);    
   }
