Modules

See the projects' module documentation for more specific information:

• API Module
• Core Module
• Client Module

Setup

The following steps show how to get the SDK running

1. Create and account on the self-service portal

2. Get your sender/subscriber API-key credentials

3. Clone the sdk repo

   git clone https://git.fitko.de/fit-connect/sdk-java

4. Build the project with the included maven wrapper (no separate maven installation needed)

   ./mvnw clean install -DskipTests

5. Configure your config.yml (see template)

   • add Sender OAuth credentials from the self-service portal to SENDER section
   • add Subscriber OAuth credentials from the self-service portal to SUBSCRIBER section
   • add reference to private decryption key (JWK) to SUBSCRIBER section
   • add reference to private signature key (JWK) to SUBSCRIBER section

6. Load a configuration via:

     final ApplicationConfig config = ApplicationConfigLoader.loadConfigFromPath(Path.of("path/to/config.yml"));

7. Afterwards the config is used to initialize clients with the ClientFactory that offer clients for sender, subscriber and routing:

     final SenderClient senderClient = ClientFactory.getSenderClient(config);
       //
     final SubscriberClient subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);
       //
     final RoutingClient routingClient = ClientFactory.getRoutingClient(config);

(back to top)

API Usage for Routing

The Routing-Client allows to retrieve data about areas and services as well as their service destination. A typical workflow using the RoutingClient and SenderClient would be:

1. Find the areaId for an area via routing
2. Find the destination for a leikaKey and an areaId via routing
3. Submit a new submission to the destination using the SenderClient

Finding Areas

Areas can be searched with one or more search criteria:

final RoutingClient routingClient = ClientFactory.getRoutingClient(config);

final var citySearchCriterion = "Leip*";
final var zipCodeSearchCriterion = "04229";

// get first 5 area results
final List<Area> areas = routingClient.findAreas(List.of(citySearchCriterion, zipCodeSearchCriterion), 0, 5);

LOGGER.info("Found {} areas", areas.size());
for (final Area area : areas){
    LOGGER.info("Area {} with id {} found", area.getName(), area.getId());
}

Finding Destinations

For searching a destination the DestinationSearch.Builder is used pass a search request to the routing client. The leikaKey is mandatory, as well as (max.) one other search criterion for the area/region, like one of:

• areaId = identifier of an area that can be retrieved via findAreas(...) of the routing client
• ARS = amtlicher Regionalschlüssel
• AGS = amtlicher Gemeindeschlüssel

Note: Both, the leikaKey service-identifier and the region keys ars/agscannot be retrieved via the routing client, but can be found here:

• https://fimportal.de/ catalog for finding leikaKey service identifier
• https://opengovtech.de/ for looking up regional keys

Find destination by service identifier and areaId

final RoutingClient routingClient = ClientFactory.getRoutingClient(config);

final DestinationSearch search = DestinationSearch.Builder()
        .withLeikaKey("99123456760610")
        .withAreaId("48566") // areaId of "Leipzig"
        .withLimit(3)
        .build();

// get first 3 route results
final List<Route> routes = routingClient.findDestinations(search);

LOGGER.info("Found {} routes for service identifier {}", routes.size(), leikaKey);
for (final Route route : routes){
    LOGGER.info("Route {} with destinationId {} found", route.getName(), route.getDestinationId());
}

Find destination by service identifier and region key (ARS/AGS)

Besides the areaId another search criterion for the area/region can be used as well:

final RoutingClient routingClient = ClientFactory.getRoutingClient(config);

final DestinationSearch search = DestinationSearch.Builder()
        .withLeikaKey("99123456760610")
        .withArs("147130000000") // example ars for "Leipzig"
        .withLimit(3)
        .build();

// get first 3 route results
final List<Route> routes = routingClient.findDestinations(search);

LOGGER.info("Found {} routes for service identifier {}", routes.size(), leikaKey);
for (final Route route : routes){
    LOGGER.info("Route {} with destinationId {} found", route.getName(), route.getDestinationId());
}

API Usage for Sender

For sending submission and already encrypted submissions builder are provided to construct the necessary payload to be sent. Builders allow method chaining and guide through all necessary steps.

The examples below expect a loaded configuration via the ApplicationConfigLoader.

Hand in already encrypted submission (e.g. from frontend)

If all data, metadata and attachments are encrypted outside the SDK the sender client allows to retrieve the public key for encryption as well as sending of already encrypted payloads.

For further information on how to implement end-2-end encryption please check the FIT-Connect documentation.

1. Retrieve public encryption key:

final var destinationId = UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14");
final String publicJwkAsJsonString =  ClientFactory.getSenderClient(config).getPublicKey(destinationId);

2. Send encrypted data

To send an encrypted submission the builder SendableEncryptedSubmission.Builder is needed to construct an SendableEncryptedSubmission object. The payload can be submitted as shown below via the ClientFactory.

If optional attachments are added, the UUID needs to be provided for each attachment to be able to announce them before the submission is actually sent. This is necessary because the SDK does not have access to the already encrypted metadata that, which contains that information.

// The constructed client can be reused to send multiple submissions
final SenderClient senderClient = ClientFactory.getSenderClient(config);

final SendableEncryptedSubmission encryptedSubmission = SendableEncryptedSubmission.Builder()
        .setDestination(UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14"))
        .setServiceType("urn:de:fim:leika:leistung:99400048079000", "Führerscheinummeldung")
        .setEncryptedMetadata("$encrpyt€ed metadata")
        .setEncryptedData("{$encrpyt€ed json}")
        .addEncryptedAttachment(UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14"), "$encrpyt€ed @tt@chment") // optional
        .build();

final SentSubmission sentSubmission = senderClient.send(encryptedSubmission);

Hand in a new submission with unencrypted data

If all data, metadata and attachments are encrypted in the sender using the SDK, the client automatically handles the encryption.

Before the actual sending, a set of validations is applied to guarantee a compatibility with the subscriber. One of these validations checks, if the submission data meets the requirements of the provided schema URI. Currently, this submission data schema validation is only run, if the data was provided in JSON form. A similar XML validation will be implemented in the future.

Be aware that this example is not end-2-end encrypted, see FIT-Connect documentation for details.

To send a submission the builder SendableSubmission.Builder is needed to construct a SendableSubmission object. The payload can be submitted as shown below via the ClientFactory.

// The constructed client can be reused to send multiple submissions
final SenderClient senderClient = ClientFactory.getSenderClient(config);

final SendableSubmission sendableSubmission = SendableSubmission.Builder()
        .setDestination(UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14"))
        .setServiceType("urn:de:fim:leika:leistung:99400048079000", "Führerscheinummeldung")
        .setJsonData("{ \"someString\" : \"foo\"}", URI.create("https://test.fitko.dev/fit-connect/schema/submission-data-schema.json"))
        // optional properties
        .addAttachment(Attachment.fromPath(Path.of("path/to/attachment.txt"), "text/plain"))
        .setReplyChannel(ReplyChannel.fromEmail("test@mail.org"))
        .build();

final SentSubmission sentSubmission = senderClient.send(sendableSubmission);

Read the latest status of a submission

For checking the current status of a submission getStatusForSubmission gets the latest event from the event-log.

final SentSubmission sentSubmission =  ... // persisted sent submission by sender client
final EventStatus submissionStatus = ClientFactory.getSenderClient(config).getStatusForSubmission(sentSubmission);

LOGGER.info("Current status for submission {} => {}", sentSubmission.getSubmissionId(), submissionStatus.getStatus());

The example output shows the current state of the submission after being created, following the transitions in the diagram below:

Current status for submission 43cf7163-5163-4bc8-865e-be96e271ecc3 => incomplete

Validating callbacks

When receiving callbacks from the FIT-Connect system, sender (and subscriber) of submissions have to check if the received data is valid to prevent unauthorized calls from messing with the business processes and user data. The values needed for this validation are transmitted within the received HTTP requests. FIT-Connect uses the HMAC mechanism to proof the validity of its calls.

More details on how this method works can be found here:

• https://docs.fitko.de/fit-connect/docs/details/callbacks/#callback-validation
• https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2104

The Java SDK provides a convenient method for validating callbacks, its usage could look like this:

final SenderClient senderClient = ClientFactory.getSenderClient(config);

final ValidationResult validationResult = senderClient.validateCallback("hmac", 0L, "body", "secret");

if(validationResult.hasError()){
    LOGGER.error(validationresult.getError().getMessage());
}

API Usage for Subscriber

Retrieving submissions

Submissions can be fetched by id or as a list of submissions for a specific case.

List with pagination

Limit and offset parameters allow to page through the result.

final var subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);

final int offset = 0;
final int limit = 100;
final var destinationId = UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14");

final Set<SubmissionForPickup> firstOneHundredSubmissions = subscriberClient.getAvailableSubmissionsforDestination(destinationId), limit, offset);

List without pagination

Listing available submissions without pagination pulls the first 500 entries.

final var subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);

final var destinationId= UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14");

final Set<SubmissionForPickup> submissions = subscriberClient.getAvailableSubmissionsForDestination(destinationId);

Receive single submission

// by id
final var submissionId = UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14");
final ReceivedSubmission receivedSubmission =  ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config).requestSubmission(submissionId);

// by object
final SubmissionForPickup submissionForPickup = // code for sending submission;
final ReceivedSubmission receivedSubmission =  ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config).requestSubmission(submissionForPickup);

Now, the received submission allows access to the decrypted data, attachments, metadata and ids

 // access data
final String data = receivedSubmission.getDataAsString();
final URI dataSchemaUri = receivedSubmission.getDataSchemaUri();
final String mimeType = receivedSubmission.getDataMimeType();

// access metadata
final Metadata metadata = receivedSubmission.getSubmissionMetdata();
// access reply channel
final ReplyChannel replyChannel = metadata.getReplyChannel();

// access attachments
for(final Attachment attachment : receivedSubmission.getAttachments()){
    final String originalFilename = attachment.getFilename();
    final String attachmentMimeType = attachment.getMimeType();
    // different formats to retrieve the attachment content
    final byte[] attachmentDataAsBytes = attachment.getDataAsBytes();
    final String attachmentDataAsString = attachment.getDataAString(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
}

// access further ids of submission
final UUID caseId  = receivedSubmission.getCaseId();
final UUID submissionId  = receivedSubmission.getSubmissionId();
final UUID destinationId  = receivedSubmission.getDestinationId();

Sending events to the event-log

In order to accept or reject a submission, the subscriber client can send events (security-event-tokens) to the event-log. For more details please see the documentation on events and the creation of set-events.

Accepting a submission

If the functional review by the subscriber was positive, the submission can be accepted with an accept-submission event. For this event a list of optional problems can be sent, the submission is still accepted but with remarks.

final var submissionId = UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14");
final SubscriberClient subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);

// fetch submission with all data first
final ReceivedSubmission receivedSubmission = subscriberClient.requestSubmission(submissionId);

// accept received submission (without problems)
receivedSubmission.acceptSubmission();
        
// accept with an optional list of problems
receivedSubmission.acceptSubmission(List.of(new MyCustomProblem()));;
 

After the accept event was sent the submission transitions into the state deleted and is removed.

Rejecting a submission

If the functional or technical review by the subscriber was negative, e.g. there is a discrepancy within the semantics of the data, the submission can be rejected with an reject-submission event. The rejection takes a list of dev.fitko.fitconnect.api.domain.model.event.problems.* as parameter to specify the problem. See the Fit-Connect documentation for more details on available (technical) problems.

final var submissionId = UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14");
final SubscriberClient subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);

// fetch submission with all data first
final ReceivedSubmission receivedSubmission = subscriberClient.requestSubmission(submissionId);

// reject with a list of problems
receivedSubmission.rejectSubmission(List.of(new DataSchemaViolation()));

After the rejection event was sent the submission transitions into the state deleted and is removed.

Rejecting a submission via subscriber client directly

Instead of retrieving the full submission with all data first as seen in the examples above, a SubmissionForPickup can also be rejected directly on the subscriber client:

final var destinationId = UUID.fromString("d2d43892-9d9c-4630-980a-5af341179b14");
final SubscriberClient subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);

final Set<SubmissionForPickup> submissions = subscriberClient.getAvailableSubmissionsForDestination(destinationId);

submissions.forEach(submission -> subscriberClient.rejectSubmission(submission, List.of(new TechnicalProblem())))

Read the latest status of a submission

For checking the current status of a submission getStatusForSubmission gets the latest event from the event-log.

Calling the status as a subscriber, authentication tags are not validated !

final var subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);

final var destinationId = UUID.fromString("5872e50a-a776-4c3b-9f41-7e48c6ac8491");
final var caseId = UUID.fromString("9600356f-f694-4790-ab8a-5c73387ab7c7");
final var submissionId = UUID.fromString("25efc57a-7197-4c14-9cfe-cfc87a954ef5");

final EventStatus submissionStatus = subscriberClient.getStatusForSubmission(destinationId, caseId, submissionId);

LOGGER.info("Current status for submission {} => {}", sentSubmission.getSubmissionId(), submissionStatus.getStatus());

The example output shows the current state of the submission after being created, following the transitions in the diagram below:

Current status for submission 43cf7163-5163-4bc8-865e-be96e271ecc3 => incomplete

Validating callbacks

The validation of callbacks works similar to the sender side (see Sender Callback Validation), but instead of the SenderClient, we use the SubscriberClient:

final SubscriberClient subscriberClient = ClientFactory.getSubscriberClient(config);

final ValidationResult validationResult = subscriberClient.validateCallback("hmac", 0L, "body", "secret");

if(validationResult.hasError()){
    LOGGER.error(validationresult.getError().getMessage());
}

Integration Tests

Integration tests do not run per default with mvn test, but they can be executed with the maven profile IntegrationTests via mvn -PIntegrationTests test. They expect the following environment variables to be set in the rn configuration of the IDE or on the local terminal:

• SENDER_CLIENT_ID
• SENDER_CLIENT_SECRET
• SUBSCRIBER_CLIENT_ID
• SUBSCRIBER_CLIENT_SECRET
• TEST_DESTINATION_ID

Submit submissions are cleaned on every test run, please be aware that this might affect the present submissions on the destination that is configured. Currently, the tests are set up for the test-environment with:

var authBaseUrl = "https://auth-testing.fit-connect.fitko.dev";
var routingBaseUrl = "https://routing-api-testing.fit-connect.fitko.dev";
var selfServicePortalUrl = "https://portal.auth-testing.fit-connect.fitko.dev";
var submissionBaseUrl = "https://submission-api-testing.fit-connect.fitko.dev";

Roadmap

• Add auto-reject on technical errors
• Maven central release of 1.0.0-beta

See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
