Assignment 2

Overview

This assignment will build on the ideas in the original video service to add OAuth 2.0 authentication of clients and the ability to "like" videos. To complete this assignment, you must allow users to authenticate using the OAuth 2.0 Password Grant flow. The code for the OAuth 2.0 integration is provided for you in the skeleton and tests. Once authenticated, users must be able to like/unlike videos, as well as search for videos by name and duration. In addition, video data must be stored in a Spring Data JPA repository.

You should note that this assignment also requires concepts used in the first assignment, such as request mapping and JSON marshalling in request/response bodies.

Running the Application

Please read the instructions carefully.

To run the application, right-click on the Application class in the assignment project->Run As->Java Application (the application may try to start and fail with an error message - this is OK). If the application successfully starts, stop the application before proceeding to the next step.

Instructions

First, clone this Git repository and import it into Eclipse as a Gradle Project. You can do this from the "File" menu by selecting "Import". Expand the "Gradle" option and then choose "Existing Gradle Project". Select the root folder of this project and then hit "Finish".

This assignment tests your ability to create a web application that allows clients to authenticate using the OAuth 2.0 Password Grant Flow. Clients can upload video metadata (name, duration, etc.) once logged in, as well as like/unlike videos.

The test that is used to grade your implementation is AutoGradingTest in the org.magnum.dataup package in src/test/java. You should use the source code in the AutoGradingTest as the ground truth for what the expected behavior of your solution is. Your app should pass this test without any errors. The test methods are annotated with @Rubric and specify the number of points associated with each test, the purpose of the test, and the videos relevant to the test.

The HTTP API that you must implement so that this test will pass is as follows:

GET /video

Returns the list of videos that have been added to the server as JSON. The list of videos should be persisted using Spring Data. The list of Video objects should be able to be unmarshalled by the client into a Collection
The return content-type should be application/json, which will be the default if you use @ResponseBody

POST /video

The video metadata is provided as an application/json request body. The JSON should generate a valid instance of the Video class when deserialized by Spring's default Jackson library.
Returns the JSON representation of the Video object that was stored along with any updates to that object made by the server.
The server should store the Video in a Spring Data JPA repository. If done properly, the repository should handle generating ID's.
A video should not have any likes when it is initially created.
You will need to add one or more annotations to the Video object in order for it to be persisted with JPA.

GET /video/{id}

Returns the video with the given id or 404 if the video is not found.

POST /video/{id}/like

Allows a user to like a video. Returns 200 Ok on success, 404 if the video is not found, or 400 if the user has already liked the video.
The service should keep track of which users have liked a video and prevent a user from liking a video twice. A POJO Video object is provided for you and you will need to annotate and/or add to it in order to make it persistable.
A user is only allowed to like a video once. If a user tries to like a video a second time, the operation should fail and return 400 Bad Request.

POST /video/{id}/unlike

Allows a user to unlike a video that he/she previously liked. Returns 200 OK on success, 404 if the video is not found, and a 400 if the user has not previously liked the specified video.

GET /video/search/findByName?title={title}

Returns a list of videos whose titles match the given parameter or an empty list if none are found.

GET /video/search/findByDurationLessThan?duration={duration}

Returns a list of videos whose durations are less than the given parameter or an empty list if none are found.

This assignment also requires that you store your data using a Spring Data Jpa Repository. This will make implementing the findByName and findByDurationLessThan functionality much easier.

The AutoGradingTest should be used as the ultimate ground truth for what should be implemented in the assignment. If there are any details in the description above that conflict with the AutoGradingTest, use the details in the AutoGradingTest as the correct behavior and report the discrepancy on the course forums. Further, you should look at the AutoGradingTest to ensure that you understand all of the requirements. It is perfectly OK to post on the forums and ask what a specific section of the AutoGradingTest does. Do not, however, post any code from your solution or potential solution.

There is a VideoSvcApi interface that is annotated with Retrofit annotations in order to communicate with the video service that you will be creating. Your solution controller(s) should not directly implement this interface in a "Java sense" (e.g., you should not have YourSolution implements VideoSvcApi). Your solution should support the HTTP API that is described by this interface, in the text above, and in the AutoGradingTest. In some cases it may be possible to have the Controller and the client implement the interface.

Again -- the ultimate ground truth of how the assignment will be graded, is contained in AutoGradingTest, which shows the specific tests that will be run to grade your solution. You must implement everything that is required to make all of the tests in this class pass. If a test case is not mentioned in this README file, you are still responsible for it and will be graded on whether or not it passes. Make sure and read the AutoGradingTest code and look at each test!

You should not modify any of the code in VideoSvcApi, AutoGrading, or AutoGradingTest.

Testing Your Implementation

To test your solution, first run the application as described above. Once your application is running, you can right-click on the AutoGradingTest->Run As->JUnit Test to launch the test. Eclipse will report which tests pass or fail.

To get an estimated score for your solution, right-click on AutoGrading (not AutoGradingTest) and Run As->Java Application. The AutoGrading application will run AutoGradingTest and then print a summary of the test results and your score to the Eclipse Console (Window->Show View->Console). The AutoGrading application will also create a submission package that you can submit to Coursera to receive your official grade. Note: each time that you run AutoGrading it will create a separate submission package and print information about it to the console. Make sure that you choose the right submission package file when submitting your assignment!

Submitting Your Assignment

To submit your assignment, you must first run the AutoGrading application as described in the previous step to create your submission package. Make sure that you take note of the name of the submission package that is printed in the console to ensure that you submit the correct zip file. You should submit the submission package that is generated in the submission-packages folder as the solution file in Coursera.

After submitting your solution to Coursera, your submission package will be sent to the auto-grading servers. It may take a few minutes for a score to be assigned to your submission. Once the submission is graded, a detailed score will be registered with Coursera.

Note: locally running the AutoGrading application DOES NOT submit your solution to Coursera and will not be counted as a valid submission. The grade that you see when running the AutoGrading application is an estimate of your grade only. You must correctly submit the solution to Coursera to receive an official grade.

Provided Code

org.magnum.mobilecloud.video.repository.Video: This is a simple class to represent the metadata for a video.

You must annotate this object properly in order for it to be stored in the JPA repository. The annotations that you may want to include are @Entity, @Id, @GeneratedValue, and @ElementCollection.

Hints

The examples in GitHub will be helpful on this assignment
A valid solution is going to have at least one class annotated with @Controller
There will probably need to be several different methods annotated with @RequestMapping to implement the HTTP API described
It is unlikely that you will be able to use Spring Data Rest to complete the assignment due to differences in the responses provided by Spring Data Rest when adding new videos, etc.
Any Controller method can take a Principal as a parameter to gain access/control over the user who is currently authenticated. Spring will automatically fill in this parameter when your Controller's method is invoked:

        ...
        @RequestMapping("/some/path/{id}")
        public MyObject doSomething(
                   @PathVariable("id") String id, 
                   Principal p) {
         
         String username = p.getName(); 
         // Maybe you want to add this users name to 
         // the list of people who like a video
            ....       
        }

The IDs must be of type long or Long. The tests send long values to the server and will generate 400 response codes if you use an int.
If you get an error 400, you have incorrectly specified the parameter values that the method should accept and their mapping to HTTP parameters.
There are multiple ways to implement most pieces of the application. Any solution that passes the tests will be given full credit.
None of your Controllers or other classes should "implement VideoSvcApi" -- which is an interface that is only used to create a Retrofit client. None of your classes should look like this:

        public class SomeClass implements VideoSvcApi // Don't implement this interface! 
        {
          ...
        }
