It implements all possible methods + necessary for communicate with server. + | It prints out the received response. + | Moreover it provides some static methods that are used for + creating the instances of requests. + + **Service.java:** + + | Server of gRPC application. It implements all possible methods + necessary for communicate with client. + | It saves the received request on log. + | This server could be accessed by multiple clients, because + synchronizes concurrent accesses. + | Each method that is possible to call is has the equivalent + operation in REST-interface. + + **GrpcUtils.java:** + + | This class provides some static methods that are used by + ``Service.java`` in order to translate a request into a class that + is accepted by Verigraph. + | Other methods are used to translate the class of Verigraph in the + proper gRPC response. + | These functionalities are exploited by test classes. + | Furthermore this set of methods is public, so in your application + you could call them, even if this should not be useful because + ``Client.java`` provides other high-level functions. + +- *it.polito.grpc.test:* + + This package includes classes for testing the gRPC application. + + **GrpcServerTest.java:** + + | For each possible method we test if works correctly. + | We create a fake client (so this test doesn't use the method that + are present in client class) and test if it receives the expected + response. + | In a nutshell, it tests the methods of Client in case of a fake + server. + | Please notice that the test prints some errors but this is + intentional, because the program tests also error case. + | Indeed, not all methods are tested, because we have another class + (ReachabilityTest.java) that is specialized for testing the + verification method. + + **GrpcTest.java:** + + | This set of tests is intended to control the most common use + cases, in particular all methods that are callable in Client and + Service class, apart from verifyPolicy for the same reason as + before. + | It tries also to raise an exception and verify if the behavior is + as expected. + + **MultiThreadTest.java:** + + | This test creates multiple clients that connect to the server and + verify is the result is correct. These methods test the + synchronization on + | server-side. + + **ReachabilityTest.java:** + + | This file tests the verification method, it exploits the test case + already present in the project and consequently has the certainty + of testing not so simple case. In particular it reads the file in + "src/main/webapp/json" and use this as starting point. + | Some exceptions are thrown in order to verify if they are handled + in a correct way. + +**src/main/proto:** + + **verigraph.proto:** + + | File containing the description of the service. This includes the + definition of all classes used in the application. + | Moreover contains the definition of the methods that is possible + to call. + | Each possible method called by REST API is mapped on a proper gRPC + method. + | In case of error a message containing the reason is returned to + the client. + | More details are available in the section about Proto Buffer. + +**taget/generated-sources/protobuf/java:** + +- *io.grpc.verigraph:* + + This package includes all classes generated from verigraph.proto by + means of protoc. For each object you can find 2 classes : + + **{NameObject}Grpc.java** + + **{NameObject}GrpcOrBuilder.java** + + The first is the real implementation, the second is the + interface. + +**taget/generated-sources/protobuf/grpc-java:** + +- *io.grpc.verigraph:* + + This package includes a single class generated from verigraph.proto + by means of protoc. + + **VerigraphGrpc.java:** + + This is useful in order to create the stubs that are necessary to + communicate both for client and server. + +**lib:** + +This folder includes a jar used for compiling the project with Ant. + + \*\*maven-ant-tasks-2.1.3.\ jar:** + + This file is used by build.xml in order to include the maven + dependencies. + +**pom.xml:** + +| Modified in order to add all necessary dependencies. It contains also + the build tag used for create the generated-sources folders. +| This part is added according to documentation of gRPC for java as + explained above in How To Install section. +| For further clarification go to `this + link <https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/blob/master/README.md>`__. + +**build.xml:** + +This ant file permit to run and compile the program in a simple way, it +exploits the maven-ant-tasks-2.1.3.jar already present in project. + +It contains 3 fundamental tasks for gRPC interface: + +- **build:** compile the program + +- **run:** run both client and server + +- **run-client :** run only client + +- **run-server :** run only server + +- **run-test :** launch all tests that are present in the package, + prints out the partial results and global result. + +Note that the execution of these tests may take up to 1-2 minutes when +successful, according to your computer architecture. + +More Information About Proto Buffer: +------------------------------------ + +Further clarification about verigraph.proto: + +- A ``simple RPC`` where the client sends a request to the server using + the stub and waits for a response to come back, just like a normal + function call. + + .. code:: xml + + // Obtains a graph + rpc GetGraph (RequestID) returns (GraphGrpc) {} + +In this case we send a request that contains the id of the graph and the +response is a Graph. + +- A ``server-side streaming RPC`` where the client sends a request to + the server and gets a stream to read a sequence of messages back. The + client reads from the returned stream until there are no more + messages. As you can see in our example, you specify a server-side + streaming method by placing the stream keyword before the response + type. + + .. code:: xml + + + // Obtains a list of Nodes + rpc GetNodes (RequestID) returns (stream NodeGrpc) {} + +In this case we send a request that contains the id of the graph and the +response is a list of Nodes that are inside graph. + +Further possibilities are available but in this project are not +expolied. If you are curious see +`here <http://www.grpc.io/docs/tutorials/basic/java.html#defining-the-service>`__. + +Our ``.proto`` file also contains protocol buffer message type +definitions for all the request and response types used in our service +methods - for example, heres the ``RequestID`` message type: + +.. code:: xml + + message RequestID { + int64 idGraph = 1; + int64 idNode = 2; + int64 idNeighbour = 3; + } + +The " = 1", " = 2" markers on each element identify the unique "tag" +that field uses in the binary encoding. Tag numbers 1-15 require one +less byte to encode than higher numbers, so as an optimization you can +decide to use those tags for the commonly used or repeated elements, +leaving tags 16 and higher for less-commonly used optional elements. +Each element in a repeated field requires re-encoding the tag number, so +repeated fields are particularly good candidates for this optimization. + +Protocol buffers are the flexible, efficient, automated solution to +solve exactly the problem of serialization. With protocol buffers, you +write a .proto description of the data structure you wish to store. From +that, the protocol buffer compiler creates a class that implements +automatic encoding and parsing of the protocol buffer data with an +efficient binary format. The generated class provides getters and +setters for the fields that make up a protocol buffer and takes care of +the details of reading and writing the protocol buffer as a unit. +Importantly, the protocol buffer format supports the idea of extending +the format over time in such a way that the code can still read data +encoded with the old format. + +:: + + syntax = "proto3"; + + package verigraph; + + option java_multiple_files = true; + option java_package = "io.grpc.verigraph"; + option java_outer_classname = "VerigraphProto"; + ``` + +This .proto file works for protobuf 3, that is slightly different from +the version 2, so be careful if you have code already installed. + +The .proto file starts with a package declaration, which helps to +prevent naming conflicts between different projects. In Java, the +package name is used as the ``Java package`` unless you have explicitly +specified a java\_package, as we have here. Even if you do provide a +``java_package``, you should still define a normal ``package`` as well +to avoid name collisions in the Protocol Buffers name space as well as +in non-Java languages. + +| After the package declaration, you can see two options that are + Java-specific: ``java_package`` and ``java_outer_classname``. + ``java_package`` specifies in what Java package name your generated + classes should live. If you don't specify this explicitly, it simply + matches the package name given by the package declaration, but these + names usually aren't appropriate Java package names (since they + usually don't start with a domain name). The ``java_outer_classname`` + option defines the class name which should contain all of the classes + in this file. If you don't give a ``java_outer_classname explicitly``, + it will be generated by converting the file name to camel case. For + example, "my\_proto.proto" would, by default, use "MyProto" as the + outer class name. +| In this case this file is not generated, because + ``java_multiple_files`` option is true, so for each message we + generate a different class. + +For further clarifications see +`here <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/javatutorial>`__ + +Notes +----- + +For gRPC interface you need that neo4jmanager service is already +deployed, so if this is not the case, please follow the instructions at +this +`link <https://github.com/netgroup-polito/verigraph/blob/a3c008a971a8b16552a20bf2484ebf8717735dd6/README.md>`__. + +In this version there are some modified files compared to the original +`Verigraph project <https://github.com/netgroup-polito/verigraph>`__ + +**it.polito.escape.verify.service.NodeService:** + +At line 213 we modified the path, because this service is intended to +run not only in container, as Tomcat, so we added other possibility that +files is placed in src/main/webapp/json/ folder. + +**it.polito.escape.verify.service.VerificationService:** + +In the original case it searches for python files in "webapps" folder, +that is present if the service is deployed in a container, but absent +otherwise. So we added another string that will be used in the case the +service doesn't run in Tomcat. + +**it.polito.escape.verify.databese.DatabaseClass:** + +Like before we added the possibility that files are not in "webapps" +folder, so is modified in order to run in any environment. Modification +in method loadDataBase() and persistDatabase(). + +| Pay attention that Python is needed for the project. If it is not + already present on your computer, please `download + it <https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/>`__. +| It works fine with Python 2.7.3, or in general Python 2. + +| If you have downloaded a Python version for 64-bit architecture please + copy the files in "service/z3\_64" and paste in "service/build" and + substitute them, +| because this project works with Python for 32-bit architecture. + +Python and Z3 must support the same architetcure. + +Moreover you need the following dependencies installed on your python +distribution: + +- "requests" python package -> +http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/ + +- "jsonschema" python package -> https://pypi.python.org/pypi/jsonschema + +| HINT - to install a package you can raise the following command (Bash + on Linux or DOS shell on Windows): python -m pip install jsonschema + python -m pip install requests +| Pay attention that it is possible that you have to modify the PATH + environment variable because is necessary to address the python + folder, used for verification phase. + +Remember to read the +`README.rtf <https://gitlab.com/serena.spinoso/DP2.2017.SpecialProject2.gRPC/tree/master>`__ +and to follow the instructions in order to deploy the Verigraph service. + +| In the latest version of Maven there is the possibility that the + downloaded files are incompatible with Java Version of the project + (1.8). +| In this case you have to modify the file ``hk2-parent-2.4.0-b31.pom`` + under your local Maven repository (e.g. + 'C:\\Users\\Standard.m2\\repository') +| and in the path ``\org\glassfish\hk2\hk2-parent\2.4.0-b31`` find the + file and modify at line 1098 (in section ``profile``) the ``jdk`` + version to ``[1.8,)`` . + +| Admittedly, the version that is supported by the downloaded files from + Maven Dependencies is incompatible with jdk of the project. +| So modify the file ``gson-2.3.pom`` in Maven repository, under + ``com\google\code\gson\gson\2.3`` directory, in particular line 91, + from ``[1.8,`` to ``[1.8,)``. + +This project was also tested on Linux Ubuntu 15.10. |
