1.0.0
evam-cad-bridge v1.0.0
Initial public release of the Evam CAD Bridge — a small, self-hosted process that connects your CAD system to Evam Central Services over a permanent outbound WebSocket, so nothing on the CAD side has to be publicly reachable.
Artifacts
- Docker image —
ghcr.io/evam-life/cad-bridge:1.0.0 - JAR —
evam-cad-bridge-1.0.0-all.jar(attached below)
Pin to 1.0.0 in production. The latest tag is available for convenience but is not recommended for long-running deployments.
Quick start
docker pull ghcr.io/evam-life/cad-bridge:1.0.0
docker run --rm \
--name evam-cad-bridge \
-v $(pwd)/config:/app/config:ro \
-e BRIDGE_PASSWORD=secret \
-p 10987:10987 \
ghcr.io/evam-life/cad-bridge:1.0.0Full installation, configuration, and update instructions are in the README. Evam will provide the Central Services URLs and credentials you need to fill into config/application.yaml during setup.
What's included
- GD92 TCP bridge — bidirectional relay between Evam Central Services (over WebSocket) and your CAD system (over raw TCP or TLS).
- Server or client TCP mode — either your CAD connects to the bridge, or the bridge connects to your CAD. Configurable per deployment.
- TLS on the CAD link — keystore-based (server mode) or truststore-based (client mode). JVM default trust store used when no truststore is configured.
- OAuth2 authentication — Resource Owner Password Credentials against your Evam Central Services realm, with automatic token refresh at 80% of the token's TTL. Falls back to re-authentication if
refresh_tokenis rejected. - Automatic reconnection — configurable delay and retry limit; unlimited by default so the bridge is self-healing across network blips.
- Optional HTTP proxy — a second WebSocket connection Evam can use to reach local HTTP services on your network. Disabled by default; enable only when Evam requests it.
- YAML configuration with
${VAR}/${VAR:default}environment-variable substitution so secrets can stay out of the config file. - Traffic logging at INFO level with hex dumps of the TCP traffic in both directions, for diagnostics.
Requirements
- Docker (any recent version) or JVM 21+ for running the JAR directly.
- Outbound HTTPS/WSS access to your Evam Central Services endpoints.
- Local network reachability of your CAD system on the configured host/port.
Notes and caveats
- Only one active TCP connection is supported at a time in either mode. This matches the GD92 usage the bridge is designed for.
- The JAR does not print a version banner on startup — track the version via the JAR filename or your systemd unit / container tag.
- The default Ktor CIO WebSocket client is used with a 10 MB max frame size — sufficient for GD92 traffic and for HTTP-proxy responses within the same limit.
