Chapter 16. The REST API for Intelligent Process Server Execution

You can communicate with the Intelligent Process Server through the REST API.

  • The base URL for sending requests is the endpoint defined earlier, for example http://SERVER:PORT/kie-server/services/rest/server/.
  • All requests require basic HTTP Authentication or token-based authentication for the role kie-server.

Following methods support three formats of the requests: JSON, JAXB, and XSTREAM. You must provide following HTTP headers:

  • Accept: set to application/json or application/xml.

    When specifying more than one accepted content type in the Accept header, be sure to include the qualifiers of preference (qvalues as defined in the HTML 1.1 standard). If you do not, unexpected behaviour may occur. This is an example of a well-formed header with multiple accepted content types: 

    Accept: application/xml; q=0.5, application/json; q=0.9
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  • X-KIE-ContentType is required when using the XSTREAM marshaller. In such case, set the header to XSTREAM. Values JSON and JAXB are allowed, but not required. When you set the Content-type to application/xml, the JAXB value is used by default.
  • Content-type: set to application/json or application/xml. This header corresponds with the format of your payload.

  • --data: your payload. If the payload is in a file, start the name with an ampersand @. For example: 

    --data @commandsRequest.json
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

To ensure both the request and the response are in the same format, always specify both the Content-Type and Accept HTTP headers in your application’s requests. Otherwise, you can receive a marshalling-related error from the server.

The examples use the Curl utility. You can use any REST client. Curl commands use the following parameters:

  • -u: specifies username:password for the Intelligent Process Server authentication.
  • -H: specifies HTTP headers.
  • -X: specifies the HTTP method of the request, that is [GET], [POST], [PUT], or [DELETE].
Note

BRMS Commands endpoints will work only if your Intelligent Process Server has BRM capability. The rest of the endpoints will work only if your Intelligent Process Server has BPM capabilities. Check the following URI for capabilities of your Intelligent Process Server : http://SERVER:PORT/kie-server/services/rest/server.

16.1. BRMS Commands
Copier lien

[POST] /containers/instances/CONTAINER_ID
Request Type
A single org.kie.api.command.Command command or multiples commands in BatchExecutionCommand wrapper.
Response Type
org.kie.server.api.model.ServiceResponse<String>
Description
Executes the commands sent to the specified CONTAINER_ID and returns the commands execution results. For more information, See the supported commands below.

List of supported commands:

  • AgendaGroupSetFocusCommand
  • ClearActivationGroupCommand
  • ClearAgendaCommand
  • ClearAgendaGroupCommand
  • ClearRuleFlowGroupCommand
  • DeleteCommand
  • InsertObjectCommand
  • ModifyCommand
  • GetObjectCommand
  • InsertElementsCommand
  • FireAllRulesCommand
  • QueryCommand
  • SetGlobalCommand
  • GetGlobalCommand
  • GetObjectsCommand
  • BatchExecutionCommand
  • DisposeCommand

For more information about the commands, see the org.drools.core.command.runtime package. Alternatively, see Supported Red Hat JBoss BRMS Commands from the Red Hat JBoss Development Guide.

Example 16.1. [POST] Drools Commands Execution

  1. Change into a directory of your choice and create commandsRequest.json : 

    {
      "lookup" : "ksession1",
      "commands" : [ {
        "insert" : {
          "object" : "testing",
          "disconnected" : false,
          "out-identifier" : null,
          "return-object" : true,
          "entry-point" : "DEFAULT"
        }

      }, {
        "fire-all-rules" : { }
      } ]
    }
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Execute the following command: 

    $ curl -X POST -H 'X-KIE-ContentType: JSON' -H 'Content-type: application/json' -u 'kieserver:kieserver1!' --data @commandsRequest.json http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server/containers/instances/myContainer
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The command generates a request that sends the InsertObject and FireAllRules commands to the server. The lookup attribute sets the KIE session ID on which the commands will be executed. For stateless KIE sessions, this attribute is required. For stateful KIE sessions, this attribute is optional and if not specified, the default KIE session is used.

An example response: 

    {
      "type" : "SUCCESS",
      "msg" : "Container hello successfully called.",
      "result" : "{\n  \"results\" : [ ],\n  \"facts\" : [ ]\n}"
    }

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  • Complete the task 1 by passing an output parameter:

    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Some operations are illegal, such as starting a completed task, or disallowed for security reasons, such as claiming a task for another user. Having different sets of users for authentication and task management can be a security concern. Making such requests will result in one of the following exceptions: 

Unexpected error during processing User '[UserImpl:'{USER ID}']' does not have permissions to execute operation OPERATION on task id {$TASK_ID}
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap 
Unexpected error during processing: User '[UserImpl:'{USER ID}']' was unable to execute operation OPERATION on task id {$TASK_ID} due to a no 'current status' match
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Ensure the operation you are executing is allowed for the current task status. You can disable the security settings by using the org.kie.server.bypass.auth.user property.

For example, on Red Hat JBoss EAP, open EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml and enter the following: 

<system-properties>
  ...
  <property name="org.kie.server.bypass.auth.user" value="true"/>
  ...
</system-properties>
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Alternatively, use -Dorg.kie.server.bypass.auth.user=true to set the property. If you use the Intelligent Process Server Java client API, set the property on your client as well: 

System.setProperty("org.kie.server.bypass.auth.user", "true");
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

When you turn on the security settings, you can provide a user with sufficient permissions to execute the operation using the query parameter ?user=$USER_NAME. If you do not use the parameter, the authenticated user will be used to perform the action.

If you disabled the security settings and still experience authentication issues, configure the Intelligent Process Server callback:

Configuring UserGroupCallback

  1. Override the default JAAS UserGroupCallback on the server side: 

    <property name="org.jbpm.ht.callback" value="props"/>
<!-- If necessary, override the userinfo configuration as well. -->
<property name="org.jbpm.ht.userinfo" value="props"/>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    See the source code for other possible values.

  2. For the props value, specify the location of the application-roles.properties file: 

    <property name="jbpm.user.group.mapping" value="file:///EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/application-roles.properties"/>
<!-- If no other file is specified, the business-central.war/WEB-INF/classes/userinfo.properties file is used.
You can specify a file with the following property:
<property name="jbpm.user.info.properties" value="file:///path" /> -->
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can also use a different callback object. The Human Task callback is instantiated by a CDI producer configured in EAP_HOME/standalone/business-central.war/WEB-INF/beans.xml: 

<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://docs.jboss.org/cdi/beans_1_0.xsd">
  <alternatives>
    <class>org.jbpm.services.cdi.producer.JAASUserGroupInfoProducer</class>
  </alternatives>
</beans>

Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite provides out-of-the-box producer and callback objects you can use. See the source code for a list of additional setting required for each callback implementation:

To use advanced queries through the REST API:

  1. Change into a directory of your choice and create an XML file with your query definition. For example: 

    <query-definition>
    <query-name>getAllTasks</query-name>
    <query-source>java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS</query-source>
    <query-expression>select * from Task t</query-expression>
    <query-target>TASK</query-target>
</query-definition>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Send a POST request to register your query definition. For example: 

    $ curl -X POST -u 'kieserver:kieserver1!' -H 'Content-type: application/xml' --data @queryDefinition.xml 'http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server/queries/definitions/getAllTasks'
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. To get the results of the query execution, send a GET request to queries/definitions/getAllTasks/data. For example: 

     curl -u 'kieserver:kieserver1!' -H 'Accept: application/xml' 'http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server/queries/definitions/getAllTasks/data?mapper=UserTasks&orderBy=&page=0&pageSize=100'

16.8. Managing Job Execution
Copier lien

REST API allows you to access information about asynchronous jobs without using the Business Central directly. The Intelligent Process Server exposes a component for executing asynchronous tasks through REST and JMS. The exposed API then offers you an access to:

  • Schedule a new job.
  • Cancel an already scheduled job.
  • Add a failed job to the queue again by giving the relevant JOB_ID.
  • Get a particular job by its JOB_ID.
  • Query jobs scheduled to execute the same command (given as a parameter).
  • Query jobs scheduled with the same given BUSINESS_KEY.
  • Query jobs with the given status as a parameter.

To control job execution, use the URI http://SERVER_ADDRESS:PORT/kie-server/services/rest/server/jobs.

For example http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server/jobs.

Job Execution Endpoints

See the list of available endpoints:

[GET] /

Response type: list of RequestInfoInstance objects

Description: Use this endpoint to query jobs in the server. Moreover, you can specify the parameters page, pageSize, and status; possible values for status are QUEUED, DONE, CANCELLED, ERROR, RETRYING, and RUNNING. Note that these values must be capitalized.

[POST] /

Request type: RequestInfoInstance object

Response type: created JOB_ID

Description: Creates a new job request and returns its ID. It is possible to assign the job to a container by setting CONTAINER_ID.

[GET] /commands/JOB_COMMAND_NAME

Response type: list of RequestInfoInstance objects

Description: Returns a list of jobs configured to run with the JOB_COMMAND_NAME command class.

[GET] /JOB_ID

Response type: RequestInfoInstance object

Description: Returns details of a job request with the provided JOB_ID. You can specify the parameters withErrors (boolean) to include errors of an execution and withData to include the data associated with the job.

[DELETE] /JOB_ID
Description: Cancels a job with the given JOB_ID. If successful, returns HTTP code 204, otherwise HTTP code 500.
[PUT] /JOB_ID

Example 16.7. [POST] New Job

  1. Change into a directory of your choice and create a jobRequest.xml file with the following content: 

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<job-request-instance>
	<job-command>org.jbpm.executor.commands.PrintOutCommand</job-command>
	<scheduled-date>2016-02-11T00:00:00-02:00</scheduled-date>
	<data />
</job-request-instance>
