SEPIA Java SDK

A set of tools and classes to develop services for SEPIA in Java.

Credentials

Create an account on the SEPIA server you want to develop for. Ask the admin to add the 'developer' role to the account (see Wiki for help).

Service upload interface

The SEPIA-Assist server has an endpoint for service uploads, e.g.: http://localhost:20721/upload-service
To use the interface make sure the server has SDK support enabled (via Control-HUB or enable_sdk=true in assist.*.properties).

Service upload via Control-HUB

You can use the 'Code-UI' page of the Control-HUB to edit and upload services created with the SDK. See the SEPIA extensions repository for more info.

Quickstart

• Import the maven project into the IDE of your choice (tested with Eclipse).
• Run mvn clean and mvn install once to make sure SEPIA libraries are available in Java classpath
• Make sure you've installed a JAVA JDK on the S.E.P.I.A. server (e.g.: sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-11-jdk-headless). This is required to compile new classes during runtime.
• Create a package for your developer account ID under 'net.b07z.sepia.sdk.services' (e.g. "uid1010" -> net.b07z.sepia.sdk.services.uid1010).
• Open 'Settings/sdk.properties' and put in your credentials (ID + password of your SEPIA account with 'developer' role) and the endpoint URL of your SEPIA-Assist server.
• Modify and run the various '.main.Test***.java' classes to test the upload of one of the demo services. Check the result for errors.
• Check-out the examples under '.services.uid1007.*' to get an idea of how a SDK custom service works. You can find more examples inside the 'SEPIA Extensions' repository.
• Open your SEPIA client, login with the same user ID you used for development and make a real test of your custom service.

How to load Javadoc

Because you can't load the Javadoc from Maven Central yet the Javadocs for the packages net.b07z.sepia.server.core, net.b07z.sepia.websockets and net.b07z.sepia.server.assist are included as JAR files in the libs folder.
You can load them in your favorite IDE via the build-path properties. In Eclipse for example do:

• Go to your project sepia-sdk-java project in your workspace
• Expand the section "Maven Dependencies" and look for e.g. sepia-assist-vX.Y.Z.jar
• Open the properties (right click on .jar -> properties), then open the section "Javadoc location"
• Choose "Javadoc in archive" -> "Workspace file" and add sepia-sdk-java/libs/sepia-assist-vX.Y.Z-javadoc.jar
• Click "Apply and close" and repeat the steps for the other SEPIA JAR files

Good to know

Services that have been uploaded are only available for the user that uploaded them unless you set 'info.makePublic()' in the code and upload them with the 'assistant' user (core-account, usually uid1005).
