RESTCONF north-bound plugin

io.lighty.modules.northbound.restconf.community.impl.CommunityRestConf provides northbound interface to running Opendaylight services via HTTP and WebSocket protocol. CommunityRestConf requires initialized services from LightyController. CommunityRestConf starts it's own servlet container and WebsSocket end-point, using two ports.

How to use it

This plugin requires LightyController instance in order to run. To use RESTCONF in your project:

1. Add dependency in your pom.xml file.

  <dependency>
    <groupId>io.lighty.modules</groupId>
    <artifactId>lighty-restconf-nb-community</artifactId>
    <version>10.0.1</version>
  </dependency>

2. Initialize and start an instance of CommunityRestConf in your code:

  RestConfConfiguration restConfConfig
      = RestConfConfigUtils.getDefaultRestConfConfiguration();
  CommunityRestConf communityRestConf = CommunityRestConfBuilder
      .from(restConfConfig)
      .build();
  communityRestConf.start();

Configuration

1. Use RestConfConfigUtils to get default configuration.

  RestConfConfiguration restConfConfig
      = RestConfConfigUtils.getDefaultRestConfConfiguration();

2. Load configuration from JSON file.

  Path configPath = Paths.get("/path/to/lightyControllerConfig.json");
  InputStream is = Files.newInputStream(configPath);
  RestConfConfiguration restConfConfig
      = RestConfConfigUtils.getRestConfConfiguration(is);

3. Load configuration from classpath JSON resource.

  InputStream is = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("/resoures/restConfConfig.json");
  RestConfConfiguration restConfConfig
      = RestConfConfigUtils.getRestConfConfiguration(is);

4. Create configuration programmatically.

  RestConfConfiguration restConfConfig = new RestConfConfiguration();
  restConfConfiguration.setHttpPort(8888);
  restConfConfiguration.setInetAddress(InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress());
  ...

5. Last step before using RestConfConfiguration is to inject LightyServices into configuration instance loaded previously.

  ...
  RestConfConfiguration restConfConfiguration = getRestConfConfiguration(restConfConfig, lightyServices);
  ...

Configuration file restConfConfig.json

Default Models

CommunityRestConf requires following models to be loaded by LightyController.

  "org.opendaylight.mdsal.model:rfc7895:1.0.1-SNAPSHOT",
  "org.opendaylight.netconf:ietf-restconf-monitoring:1.8.1-SNAPSHOT"

Clustering

As RESTCONF provides northbound interface, clustering has no effect on this component.
