54.2. Karaf Implementations

This section describes how to use the OpenApiFeature in which REST services are defined inside JAR files and deployed to a Fuse on Karaf container.

54.2.1. Quickstart example

You can download Red Hat Fuse quickstarts from the Fuse Software Downloads page.

The Quickstart zip file contains a /cxf/rest/ directory for a quickstart that demonstrates how to create a RESTful (JAX-RS) web service using CXF and how to enable OpenAPI and annotate the JAX-RS endpoints.

54.2.2. Enabling OpenAPI

Enabling OpenAPI involves:

Modifying the XML file that defines the CXF service by adding the CXF class (org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.openapi.OpenApiFeature) to the <jaxrs:server> definition.
For an example, see Example 55.4 Example XML file.
In the REST resource class:
- Importing the OpenAPI annotations for each annotation required by the service:
```
import io.swagger.annotations.*
```
  where * = Api, ApiOperation, ApiParam, ApiResponse, ApiResponses, and so on.
  For details, go to https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/wiki/Annotations-1.5.X.
  For an example, see Example 55.5 Example Resource class.
- Adding OpenAPI annotations to the JAX-RS annotated endpoints (@PATH, @PUT, @POST, @GET, @Produces, @Consumes, @DELETE, @PathParam, and so on).

For an example, see Example 55.5 Example Resource class.

54.3. Spring Boot Implementations

This section describes how to use the Swagger2Feature in Spring Boot.

Note that for OpenAPI 3 implementations, use the OpenApiFeature(org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.openapi.OpenApiFeature).

54.3.1. Quickstart example

The Quickstart example (https://github.com/fabric8-quickstarts/spring-boot-cxf-jaxrs) demonstrates how you can use Apache CXF with Spring Boot. The Quickstart uses Spring Boot to configure an application that includes a CXF JAX-RS endpoint with Swagger enabled.

54.3.2. Enabling Swagger

Enabling Swagger involves:

In the REST application:
- Importing Swagger2Feature:
```
import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.swagger.Swagger2Feature;
```
- Adding Swagger2Feature to a CXF endpoint:
```
endpoint.setFeatures(Arrays.asList(new Swagger2Feature()));
```
  For an example, see Example 55.1 Example REST application.
In the Java implementation file, importing the Swagger API annotations for each annotation required by the service:
```
import io.swagger.annotations.*
```
where * = Api, ApiOperation, ApiParam, ApiResponse, ApiResponses, and so on.
For details, see https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-core/wiki/Annotations.
For an example, see Example 55.2 Example Java implementation file.
In the Java file, adding Swagger annotations to the JAX-RS annotated endpoints (@PATH, @PUT, @POST, @GET, @Produces, @Consumes, @DELETE, @PathParam, and so on).
For an example, see Example 55.3 Example Java file.

Example 55.1 Example REST application

package io.fabric8.quickstarts.cxf.jaxrs;

import java.util.Arrays;

import org.apache.cxf.Bus;
import org.apache.cxf.endpoint.Server;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.JAXRSServerFactoryBean;
import org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.swagger.Swagger2Feature;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SampleRestApplication {

    @Autowired
    private Bus bus;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(SampleRestApplication.class, args);
    }

    @Bean
    public Server rsServer() {
        // setup CXF-RS
        JAXRSServerFactoryBean endpoint = new JAXRSServerFactoryBean();
        endpoint.setBus(bus);
        endpoint.setServiceBeans(Arrays.<Object>asList(new HelloServiceImpl()));
        endpoint.setAddress("/");
        endpoint.setFeatures(Arrays.asList(new Swagger2Feature()));
        return endpoint.create();
    }
}

Example 55.2 Example Java implementation file

import io.swagger.annotations.Api;

@Api("/sayHello")
public class HelloServiceImpl implements HelloService {

    public String welcome() {
        return "Welcome to the CXF RS Spring Boot application, append /{name} to call the hello service";
    }

    public String sayHello(String a) {
        return "Hello " + a + ", Welcome to CXF RS Spring Boot World!!!";
    }

}

Example 55.3 Example Java file

package io.fabric8.quickstarts.cxf.jaxrs;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.PathParam;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

@Path("/sayHello")
@Service
public interface HelloService {

    @GET
    @Path("")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    String welcome();

    @GET
    @Path("/{a}")
    @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    String sayHello(@PathParam("a") String a);

}

54.4. Accessing OpenAPI Documents

When OpenAPI is enabled by OpenApiFeature, the OpenAPI documents are available at the location URL constructed of the service endpoint location followed by /openapi.json or /openapi.yaml.

For example, for a JAX-RS endpoint that is published at http://host:port/context/services/ where context is a web application context and /services is a servlet URL, its OpenAPI documents are available at http://host:port/context/services/openapi.json and http://host:port/context/services/openapi.yaml.

If OpenApiFeature is active, the CXF Services page links to OpenAPI documents.

In the above example, you would go to http://host:port/context/services/services and then follow a link which returns an OpenAPI JSON document.

If CORS support is needed to access the definition from an OpenAPI UI on another host, you can add the CrossOriginResourceSharingFilter from cxf-rt-rs-security-cors.

54.5. Accessing OpenAPI through a reverse proxy

If you want to access an OpenAPI JSON document or an OpenAPI UI through a reverse proxy, set the following options:

Set the CXFServlet use-x-forwarded-headers init parameter to true.
- In Spring Boot, prefix the parameter name with cxf.servlet.init:
```
cxf.servlet.init.use-x-forwarded-headers=true
```
- In Karaf, add the following line to the installDir/etc/org.apache.cxf.osgi.cfg configuration file:
```
cxf.servlet.init.use-x-forwarded-headers=true
```
  Note: If you do not already have an org.apache.cxf.osgi.cfg file in your etc directory, you can create one.
If you specify a value for the OpenApiFeature basePath option and you want to prevent OpenAPI from caching the basePath value, set the OpenApiFeature usePathBasedConfig option to TRUE:
```
<bean class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.openapi.OpenApiFeature">
    <property name="usePathBasedConfig" value="TRUE" />
</bean>
```
