Consent2Share SMART on FHIR API

The Consent2Share SMART on FHIR API (c2s-sof-api) is a Backend component of Consent2Share (C2S)

Build

Prerequisites

• Oracle Java JDK 8 with Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy
• Docker Engine (for building a Docker image from the project)

Commands

This is a Maven project and requires Apache Maven 3.3.3 or greater to build it. It is recommended to use the Maven Wrapper scripts provided with this project. Maven Wrapper requires an internet connection to download Maven and project dependencies for the very first build.

To build the project, navigate to the folder that contains the pom.xml using the terminal/command line.

• To build a JAR:
  • For Windows, run mvnw.cmd clean install
  • For *nix systems, run mvnw clean install
• To build a Docker Image (this will create an image with bhits/c2s-sof-api:latest tag):
  • For Windows, run mvnw.cmd clean install & cd web & ..\mvnw.cmd clean package docker:build & cd..
  • For *nix systems, run mvnw clean install; cd ./web; ../mvnw clean package docker:build; cd ..

Run

Prerequisites

Commands

This is a Spring Boot project and serves the project via an embedded Tomcat instance. Therefore, there is no need for a separate application server to run this service.

• Run as a JAR file: java -jar c2s-sof-api-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar <additional program arguments>
• Run as a Docker Container: docker run -d bhits/c2s-sof-api:latest <additional program arguments>

Configure

Other Ways to Override a Configuration

Override a Configuration Using Program Arguments While Running as a JAR:

• java -jar c2s-sof-api-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar --server.port=80 --spring.datasource.password=strongpassword

Override a Configuration Using Program Arguments While Running as a Docker Container:

• docker run -d bhits/c2s-sof-api:latest --server.port=80 --spring.datasource.password=strongpassword

• In a docker-compose.yml, this can be provided as shown below:

version: '3.4'
services:
...
  c2s-sof-api.c2s.com:
    image: "bhits/c2s-sof-api:latest"
    command: ["--server.port=80","--spring.datasource.password=strongpassword"]
...

NOTE: Please note that these additional arguments will be appended to the default ENTRYPOINT specified in the Dockerfile unless the ENTRYPOINT is overridden.

Enable SSL

For simplicity in development and testing environments, SSL is NOT enabled by default configuration. SSL can easily be enabled following the examples below:

Enable SSL While Running as a JAR

• java -jar c2s-sof-api-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar --spring.profiles.active=ssl --server.ssl.key-store=/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore --server.ssl.key-store-password=strongkeystorepassword

Enable SSL While Running as a Docker Container

• docker run -d -v "/path/on/dockerhost/ssl_keystore.keystore:/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore" bhits/c2s-sof-api:latest --spring.profiles.active=ssl --server.ssl.key-store=/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore --server.ssl.key-store-password=strongkeystorepassword
• In a docker-compose.yml, this can be provided as follows:

version: '3.4'
services:
...
  c2s-sof-api.c2s.com:
    image: "bhits/c2s-sof-api:latest"
    command: ["--spring.profiles.active=ssl","--server.ssl.key-store=/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore", "--server.ssl.key-store-password=strongkeystorepassword"]
    volumes:
      - /path/on/dockerhost/ssl_keystore.keystore:/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore
...

NOTE: As seen in the examples above, /path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore is made available to the container via a volume mounted from the Docker host running this container.

Override Java CA Certificates Store In Docker Environment

Java has a default CA Certificates Store that allows it to trust well-known certificate authorities. For development and testing purposes, one might want to trust additional self-signed certificates. In order to override the default Java CA Certificates Store in a Docker container, one can mount a custom cacerts file over the default one in the Docker image as follows: docker run -d -v "/path/on/dockerhost/to/custom/cacerts:/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts" bhits/c2s-sof-api:latest

NOTE: The cacerts references given in the volume mapping above are files, not directories.
