Use Maven to build the APEX Documentation. The Maven - options ``-N`` prevents Maven to go through all APEX modules, - which is not necessary for the documentation. The final documents - will be in ``target/generated-docs`` (Windows: - ``target\generated-docs``). The *HTML* documents are in the - ``html/`` folder, the *PDF* documents are in the ``pdf/`` folder. - Once the documentation is build, copy the *HTML* and *PDF* - documents to a folder of choice - - +-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ - | Unix, Cygwin | Windows | - +=======================================================+========================================================+ - | .. container:: | .. container:: | - | | | - | .. container:: content | .. container:: content | - | | | - | .. code:: bash | .. code:: bash | - | :number-lines: | :number-lines: | - | | | - | >c: | # cd /usr/local/src/apex | - | >cd \dev\apex | # mvn clean generate-resources -N -DapexDocs | - | >mvn clean generate-resources -N -DapexDocs | | - +-------------------------------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+ - -Build APEX Site ---------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX Maven build comes with full support to build a web site - using Maven Site.

The stand-alone documentation will take about 2 minutes. The - sites for all modules and projects and the main APEX site can take between 10-30 minutes depending on your build machine (~10 minutes - without generating source and test-source reports, closer to 30 minutes with all reports). - - .. container:: paragraph - - Start the build deleting the staging directory that might have - been created by a previous site build.

The provided code templates are guidelines - and are provided for references and as examples. We will not - engage in "holy war" on style for coding. As long as the - style of a particular block of code is understandable, - consistent, and readable, please feel free to adapt or - modify these guides or use other guides as you see fit. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The JAutoDoc and Checkstyle Eclipse Plugins and tools are - useful and remove a lot of the tedium from code - documentation. Use them to check your code and please fix - any issues they identify with your code. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Since APEX is part of ONAP, the general ONAP rules and - guideliness for development do apply. Please see `ONAP - Wiki <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Developing+ONAP>`__ - for details. - -Java coding Rules ------------------ - - .. container:: ulist - - - APEX is (in large parts) a platform (or middleware), so - `Software Design - Patterns <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_design_pattern>`__ - are a good thing - - - The `Solid - Principles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID_(object-oriented_design)>`__ - apply - - - Avoid class fields scoped as ``protected`` - - .. container:: ulist - - - They break a lot of good design rules, e.g. most - SOLID rules - - - For a discussion see this `Stackoverflow - Question <https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/162643/why-is-clean-code-suggesting-avoiding-protected-variables>`__ - - - If you absolutely need ``protected`` class fields they - should be ``final`` - - - Avoid ``default`` scope for class fields and methods - - .. container:: ulist - - - For fields: use ``public`` or ``private`` (see also - above) - - - For methods: use ``public`` for general use, - ``protected`` for specialization using inheritance - (ideally ``final``), ``private`` for everything - else - - - Method parameters that are not changed in the method - should be marked ``final`` - - - Every package must have a ``package-info.java`` file with - an appropriate description, minimum a descriptive one - liner - - - Every class must have - - .. container:: ulist - - - The common header (copyright, file, date) - - - Javadoc header for the class with description of - the class and author - - - Javadoc for *all public\_* fields - - - If possible, Javadoc for *private* fields, at least - some documentation for private fields - - - Javadoc for *all* methods - - - All project must build with all tests on Unix, Windows, - *and* Cygwin - - .. container:: ulist - - - Support all line endings in files, e.g. ``\n`` and - ``\r\n`` - - - Be aware of potential differences in exception - messages, if testing against a message - - - Support all types of paths: Unix with ``/``, - Windows with an optinal drive ``C:\`` and ``\``, - Cygwin with mixed paths - -Eclipse Plugin: JAutodoc ------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - This plugin is a helper plugin for writing Javadoc. It will - automatically create standard headers on files, create - package-info.java files and will put in remarkably good stub - Javadoc comments in your code, using class names and method - names as hints. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Available from the Eclipse Marketplace. In Eclipse - Help→Eclipse Marketplace… and type ``JAutodoc``. Select - JAutodoc when the search returns and install it. - - .. container:: paragraph - - You must configure JAutoDoc in order to get the most out of - it. Ideally JAutoDoc should be configured with templates - that cooperate with the inbuilt Eclipse Code Formatter for - best results. - -Eclipse Plugin: Checkstyle --------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - This plugin integrates - `Checkstyle <http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/>`__ into - Eclipse. It will check your code and flag any checkstyle - issues as warnings in the code. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Available from the Eclipse Marketplace. In Eclipse - Help→Eclipse Marketplace… and type "Checkstyle". Select - "Checkstyle Plug-in" when the search returns and install it. - Note that "Checkstyle Plug-in" may not be the first result - in the list of items returned. - - .. container:: paragraph - - For APEX, the ONAP checkstyle rules do apply. The - configuration is part of the ONAP parent. See `ONAP - Git <https://git.onap.org/oparent/plain/checkstyle/src/main/resources/onap-checkstyle/>`__ - for details and updates.

In order not to have to distribute style files - for checkstyle into all Maven modules, it is recommended - that a special Maven module be built that contains the - checkstyle style definition. That module is then used as a - dependency in the *POM* for all other modules that wish to - use that checkstyle style. For a full explanation see `the - explanation of Checkstyle multi-module - configuration <https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-checkstyle-plugin/examples/multi-module-config.html>`__. - - .. container:: paragraph - - For APEX, the ONAP checkstyle rules do apply.

Press Apply and Close to apply the changes - -Use Eclipse Source Operations ------------------------------ - - .. container:: paragraph - - Eclipse Source Operations can be carried out on individual - files or on all the files in a package but do not recurse - into sub-packages. They are available as a menu in Eclipse - by selecting a file or package and right clicking on - *Source*. Note that running *Clean Up…* with the Apex clean - up profile will run *Format* and *Organize Imports*. So if - you run a clean up on a file or package, you need not run - *Format* or *Organize Imports*. - - .. container:: paragraph - - We recommend you use the following Eclipse Source - Operations: - - .. container:: olist arabic - - #. *Format* applies the current format definition to the - file or all files in a package - - #. *Organize Imports* sorts the imports on each file in - standard order - - #. *Clean Up* runs a number of cleaning operations on each - file. The Apex clean up template - - .. container:: ulist - - - Remove ``this`` qualifier for non static field - accesses - - - Change non static accesses to static members using - declaring type - - - Change indirect accesses to static members to - direct accesses (accesses through subtypes) - - - Convert control statement bodies to block - - - Convert ``for`` loops to enhanced ``for`` loops - - - Add final modifier to private fields - - - Add final modifier to local variables - - - Remove unused imports - - - Remove unused private methods - - - Remove unused private constructors - - - Remove unused private types - - - Remove unused private fields - - - Remove unused local variables - - - Add missing ``@Override`` annotations - - - Add missing ``@Override`` annotations to - implementations of interface methods - - - Add missing ``@Deprecated`` annotations - - - Add missing serial version ID (generated) - - - Remove unnecessary casts - - - Remove unnecessary ``$NON-NLS$`` tags - - - Organize imports - - - Format source code - - - Remove trailing white spaces on all lines - - - Correct indentation - - - Remove redundant type arguments - - - Add file header (JAutodoc) - -Using JAutodoc --------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - Similar to Eclipse Source Operations, JAutodoc operations - can be carried out on individual files or on all the files - in a package but do not recurse into sub-packages. The - JAutodoc operations are available by selecting a file or - package and right clicking on *JAutodoc*: - - .. container:: olist arabic - - #. To add a ``package-info.java`` file to a package, select - the package and right-click Jautodoc Add Package Javadoc - - #. To add headers to files select on a file (or on the - package to do all files) and right click JAutodoc Add - Header - - #. To add JAutodoc stubs to a files, select on a file (or on - the package to do all files) and right click JAutodoc - Add Javadoc - -Using Checkstyle ----------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - In order to use Checkstyle, you must configure it per - project and then activate it per project. The easiest way to - do this is to set up one project as a blueprint and use that - blueprint for other projects (see above). Once you have a - blueprint project, you can use Checkstyle on other projects - as follows - - .. container:: olist arabic - - #. Set up Checkstyle on projects by selecting one or more - projects - - .. container:: ulist - - - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle Configure - project(s) from *blueprint…* and then selecting - your blueprint project - - - (for example ``apex-model.basic-model``) from the - list of projects and pressing OK - - #. Activate Checkstyle on projects by selecting one or more - projects - - .. container:: ulist - - - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle Activate - Checkstyle - - - Now Checkstyle warnings will appear on the selected - projects if they have warnings - - #. You can disable Checkstyle checking on a file or a - package (recursively) by selecting a file or package - - .. container:: ulist - - - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle Clear - Checkstyle violations - - #. You can enable Checkstyle checking on a file or a package - (recursively) by selecting a file or package - - .. container:: ulist - - - Right clicking and selecting Checkstyle Check Code - with Checkstyle - - #. On individual files, you can apply fixes that clear some - Checkstyle warnings - - .. container:: ulist - - - Select the file, right click and select **Apply - Checkstyle fixes** - -Disable Eclipse Formatting (partially) --------------------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - Sometimes, the Eclipse code formatting results in correct - but untidy indentation, for example when Java Persistence - annotations or long sequences of lined-up assignments are - formatted. You can disable formatting for sections of code. - - .. container:: olist arabic - - #. Ensure that Off/On Tags are enabled in Eclipse - - #. In Eclipse Window Preferences Java Code Style - Formatter window press Edit… - - #. Click on the *Off/On Tags* tab - - #. Ensure that the *Enable Off/On Tags* checkbox is checked - - #. Surround the section of code that you do not want the - formatter to act on with comments containing the Off/On - tags - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - // @formatter:off - // Plugin Parameters - private DistributorParameters distributorParameters = new DistributorParameters(); - private SchemaParameters schemaParameters = new SchemaParameters(); - private LockManagerParameters lockManagerParameters = new LockManagerParameters(); - private PersistorParameters persistorParameters = new PersistorParameters(); - // @formatter:on - -Supress Checkstyle (partially) ------------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - Sometimes Checkstyle checks identify code that does not comply - with Checkstyle rules. In limited cases Checkstyle rules can be - suppressed, for example where it is impossible to design the code - in a way that complies with Checkstyle or where the Checkstyle - rule is impossible to apply. Checkstyle rules are suppressed as is - explained in this `Stackoverflow - post <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4023185/how-to-disable-a-particular-checkstyle-rule-for-a-particular-line-of-code>`__. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The example below illustrates how to suppress a Checkstyle rule - that specifies all methods must have seven parameters or less. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - // CHECKSTYLE:OFF: checkstyle:ParameterNumber - public myMethod(final int par1, final int par2, final int par3, final int par4, - final int par5, final int par6, final int par7, final int par8) { - } - // CHECKSTYLE:ON: checkstyle:ParameterNumber - -apex-apps.utilities -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -CLI Example ------------ - - .. container:: paragraph - - Using the APEX CLI utilities can be done as follows. First, - add the dependency of the utility project to your POM file. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: bash - - <dependency> - <groupId>org.onap.policy.apex-pdp.tools</groupId> - <artifactId>tools-common</artifactId> - <version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version> - </dependency> - - .. container:: paragraph - - Now, create a new application project, for instance - ``MyApp``. In this project, create a new main application - class as ``Application.java``. In this class, create a new - main method as ``public static void main(String[] args)``. - - .. container:: paragraph - - No use the provided ``CliOptions`` and ``CliParser``. - Manually importing means to add the following lines to the - start of your application (in Eclipse this import will be - done automatically): - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - import org.onap.policy.apex.tools.common.CliOptions; - import org.onap.policy.apex.tools.common.CliParser; - -.. container:: paragraph - - Now, inside your ``main()`` method, start setting some general - application properties. Important are the application name and some - description of your application. For instance: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - String appName = "test-app"; - final String appDescription = "a test app for documenting how to use the CLI utilities"; - -.. container:: paragraph - - Next, create a new CLI Parser and add a few CLI options from the - standard ``CliOptions``. The following example adds options for help, - version, and a model file: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - final CliParser cli = new CliParser(); - cli.addOption(CliOptions.HELP); - cli.addOption(CliOptions.VERSION); - cli.addOption(CliOptions.MODELFILE); - -.. container:: paragraph - - Next, parse the given CLI arguments: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - final CommandLine cmd = cli.parseCli(args); - -.. container:: paragraph - - Once the command line is parsed, we can look into the individual - options, check if they are set, and then act accordingly. We start - with the option for *help*. If the option is present, we print a help - screen and return: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - // help is an exit option, print usage and exit - if (cmd.hasOption('h') || cmd.hasOption("help")) { - final HelpFormatter formatter = new HelpFormatter(); - LOGGER.info(appName + " v" + cli.getAppVersion() + " - " + appDescription); - formatter.printHelp(appName, cli.getOptions()); - return; - } - -.. container:: paragraph - - Next, we process the option for *version*. Here, we want to print a - version for our application and return. The CLI Parser already - provides a method to obtain the correct version for an APEX build, so - we use that: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - // version is an exit option, print version and exit - if (cmd.hasOption('v') || cmd.hasOption("version")) { - LOGGER.info(appName + " " + cli.getAppVersion()); - return; - } - -.. container:: paragraph - - Once help and version arguments are processed, we can proceed to look - at all other options. We have added an option for a model file, so - check this option and test if we can actually load a model file with - the given argument. If we can load a model, everything is ok. If we - cannot load a model, we print an error and return. - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - String modelFile = cmd.getOptionValue('m'); - if (modelFile == null) { - modelFile = cmd.getOptionValue("model"); - } - if (modelFile == null) { - LOGGER.error(appName + ": no model file given, cannot proceed (try -h for help)"); - return; - } - -.. container:: paragraph - - With a model file being loadable, we finish parsing command line - arguments. We also print some status messages to note that the - application now is ready to start: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - LOGGER.info(appName + ": starting"); - LOGGER.info(" --> model file: " + modelFile); - -.. container:: paragraph - - The last action now is to run the actual application. The example - below is taken from a version of the ``Model2Cli`` application, which - creates a new object and runs it in a ``try`` block, since exceptions - might be thrown by the object: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - // your code for the application here - // e.g. - // try { - // Model2Cli app = new Model2Cli(modelFile, !cmd.hasOption("sv"), appName); - // app.runApp(); - // } - // catch(ApexException aex) { - // LOGGER.error(appName + ": caught APEX exception with message: " + aex.getMessage()); - // } - -.. container:: paragraph - - If this new application is now called with the command line ``-h`` or - ``--help`` it will print the following help screen: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: bash - - test-app v2.0.0-SNAPSHOT - a test app for documenting how to use the CLI utilities - usage: test-app - -h,--help prints this help and usage screen - -m,--model <MODEL-FILE> set the input policy model file - -v,--version prints the application version - -.. container:: paragraph - - If this new application is called with the option ``-v`` or - ``--version`` it will print its version information as: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: bash - - test-app 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT - -Autoversioning an Application ------------------------------ - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX utilities project provides means to versioning an - application automatically towards the APEX version it is written - for. This is realized by generating a file called - ``app-version.txt`` that includes the Maven project version. This - file is then automatically deployed in the folder ``etc`` of a - full APEX distribution. The CLI Parser here provides a mthod to - access this version for an application. - - .. container:: paragraph - - First, create a new CLI Parser object, add some options (in the - example an option for version, but any options will do), then - parse the command line: - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - final CliParser cli = new CliParser(); - cli.addOption(CliOptions.VERSION); - final CommandLine cmd = cli.parseCli(args); - -.. container:: paragraph - - Next, we check if the version option was used in the command line and - print application name and version if it was used: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - // version is an exit option, print version and exit - if (cmd.hasOption('v') || cmd.hasOption("version")) { - LOGGER.info("myApp" + " " + cli.getAppVersion()); - return; - } - -.. container:: paragraph - - The output will be: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: bash - - myApp 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT - -.. container:: paragraph - - The auto-version information comes from the method call - ``cli.getAppVersion()`` in line 2 in the example above. The method is - defined in the ``CliParser`` class as: - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: java - :number-lines: - - public String getAppVersion() { - return new Scanner(CliParser.class.getResourceAsStream("/app-version.txt"), "UTF-8").useDelimiter("\\A").next(); - } - -.. container:: paragraph - - The file ``app-version.txt`` is automatically added to an APEX full - distribution, as described above (for details on this see the POM - files in the APEX application packaging projects). - -.. container:: - :name: footer - - .. container:: - :name: footer-text - - 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT - Last updated 2018-09-04 16:04:24 IST diff --git a/docs/APEX-Install-Guide.rst b/docs/APEX-Install-Guide.rst deleted file mode 100644 index 3ac1eb238..000000000 --- a/docs/APEX-Install-Guide.rst +++ /dev/null @@ -1,1418 +0,0 @@ -..

- .. container:: paragraph - - However, if APEX is installed in production, we strongly - recommend you set up a dedicated user for running APEX. This - will isolate the execution of APEX to that user. We - recommend you use the userid ``apexuser`` but you may use - any user you choose. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The following example, for UNIX, creates a group called - ``apexuser``, an APEX user called ``apexuser``, adds the - group to the user, and changes ownership of the APEX - installation to the user.

These are complete - applications that can be installed and run in an application - server. All of these applications are realized as servlets. You - can find the WAR applications in ``$APEX_HOME/war`` (UNIX, - Cygwin) or ``%APEX_HOME%\war`` (Windows). - - .. container:: paragraph - - Installing and using the WAR applications requires a web server - that can execute ``war`` web archives.

You should see the APEX WAR - application being installed and running. - - .. container:: paragraph - - In case of errors, examine the log files in the Tomcat log - directory. In a conventional install, those log files are in - the logs directory where Tomcat is installed. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The current APEX version provides the following WAR - applications: - - .. container:: ulist - - - client-deployment-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a client to deploy - new policy models to a running engine - - - client-editor-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - the standard policy REST - editor GUI - - - client-monitoring-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a client for - monitoring a running APEX engine - - - client-full-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - a full client with a - one-stop-access to deployment, monitoring, and REST editor - - - examples-servlet-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT.war - an example APEX - servlet - -Running APEX in Docker -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - - .. container:: sectionbody - - .. container:: paragraph - - Since APEX is in ONAP, we provide a full virtualization - environment for the engine. - -Run in ONAP ------------ - - .. container:: paragraph - - Running APEX from the ONAP docker repository only requires 2 - commands: - - .. container:: olist arabic - - #.

It is a - lightweight engine for execution of policies. APEX allows - you to specify logic as a policy, logic that you can adapt - on the fly as your system executes. The APEX policies you - design can be really simple, with a single snippet of logic, - or can be very complex, with many states and tasks. APEX - policies can even be designed to self-adapt at execution - time, the choice is yours! - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |Simple APEX Overview| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 1. Simple APEX Overview - - .. container:: paragraph - - The Adaptive Policy Engine in APEX runs your policies. These - policies are triggered by incoming events. The logic of the - policies executes and produces a response event. The - *Incoming Context* on the incoming event and the *Outgoing - Context* on the outgoing event are simply the fields and - attributes of the event. You design the policies that APEX - executes and the trigger and action events that your - policies accept and produce. Events are fed in and sent out - as JSON or XML events over Kafka, a Websocket, a file or - named pipe, or even standard input. If you run APEX as a - library in your application, you can even feed and receive - events over a Java API. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |APEX States and Context| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 2. APEX States and Context - - .. container:: paragraph - - You design your policy as a chain of states, with each state - being fed by the state before. The simplest policy can have - just one state. We provide specific support for the - four-state `MEDA (Match Establish Decide - Act) <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303564082_Apex_An_Engine_for_Dynamic_Adaptive_Policy_Execution>`__ - policy state model and the three-state `ECA (Event Condition - Action) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_condition_action>`__ - policy state model. APEX is fully distributed. You can - decide how many APEX engine instances to run for your - application and on which real or virtual hosts to run them. - - .. container:: paragraph - - In APEX, you also have control of the *Context* used by your - policies. Context is simply the state information and data - used by your policies. You define what context your policies - use and what the scope of that context is. *Policy Context* - is private to a particular policy and is accessible only to - whatever APEX engines are running that particular policy. - *Global Context* is available to all policies. *External - Context* is read-only context such as weather or topology - information that is provided by other systems. APEX keeps - context coordinated across all the the instances running a - particular policy. If a policy running in an APEX engine - changes the value of a piece of context, that value is is - available to all other APEX engines that use that piece of - context. APEX takes care of distribution, locking, writing - of context to persistent storage, and monitoring of context. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |The APEX Eco-System| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 3. The APEX Eco-System - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX engine (AP-EN) is available as a Java library for - inclusion in your application, as a microservice running in - a Docker container, or as a stand-alone service available - for integration into your system. APEX also includes a - policy editor (AP-AUTH) that allows you to design your - policies and a web-based policy management console you use - to deploy policies and to keep track of the state of - policies and context in policies. Context handling (AP-CTX) - is integrated into the APEX engine and policy deployment - (AP-DEP) is provided as a servlet running under a web - framework such as `Apache - Tomcat <http://tomcat.apache.org/>`__. - -APEX Configuration -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - - .. container:: sectionbody - - .. container:: paragraph - - An APEX engine can be configured to use various combinations - of event input handlers, event output handlers, event - protocols, context handlers, and logic executors. The system - is build using a plugin architecture. Each configuration - option is realized by a plugin, which can be loaded and - configured when the engine is started. New plugins can be - added to the system at any time, though to benefit from a - new plugin an engine will need to be restarted. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |APEX Configuration Matrix| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 4. APEX Configuration Matrix - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX distribution already comes with a number of - plugins. The figure above shows the provided plugins. Any - combination of input, output, event protocol, context - handlers, and executors is possible. - -APEX Policy Matrix -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - - .. container:: sectionbody - - .. container:: paragraph - - APEX offers a lot of flexibility for defining, deploying, - and executing policies. Based on a theoretic model, it - supports virtually any policy model and allows to translate - legacy policies into the APEX execution format. However, the - most important aspect for using APEX is to decide what - policy is needed, what underlying policy concepts should be - used, and how the decision logic should be realized. Once - these aspects are decided, APEX can be used to execute the - policies. If the policy evolves, say from a simple decision - table to a fully adaptable policy, only the policy - definition requires change. APEX supports all of that. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The figure below shows a (non-exhaustive) matrix, which will - help to decide what policy is required to solve your - problem. Read the matrix from left to right choosing one - cell in each column. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |APEX Policy Matrix| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 5. APEX Policy Matrix - - .. container:: paragraph - - The policy can support one of a number of stimuli with an - associated purpose/model of the policy, for instance: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Configuration, i.e. what should happen. An example is an - event that states an intended network configuration and - the policy should provide the detailed actions for it. - The policy can be realized for instance as an obligation - policy, a promise or an intent. - - - Report, i.e. something did happen. An example is an event - about an error or fault and the policy needs to repair - that problem. The policy would usually be an obligation, - utility function, or goal policy. - - - Monitoring, i.e. something does happen. An example is a - notification about certain network conditions, to which - the policy might (or might not) react. The policy will - mitigate the monitored events or permit (deny) related - actions as an obligation or authorization. - - - Analysis, i.e. why did something happen. An example is an - analytic component sends insights of a situation - requiring a policy to act on it. The policy can solve the - problem, escalate it, or delegate it as a refrain or - delegation policy. - - - Prediction, i.e. what will happen next. An example are - events that a policy uses to predict a future network - condition. The policy can prevent or enforce the - prediction as an adaptive policy, a utility function, or - a goal. - - - Feedback, i.e. why did something happen or not happen. - Similar to analysis, but here the feedback will be in the - input event and the policy needs to something with that - information. Feedback can be related to history or - experience, for instance a previous policy execution. The - policy needs to be context-aware or be a meta-policy. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Once the purpose of the policy is decided, the next step is - to look into what context information the policy will - require to do its job. This can range from very simple to a - lot of different information, for instance: - - .. container:: ulist - - - No context, nothing but a trigger event, e.g. a string or - a number, is required - - - Event context, the incoming event provides all - information (more than a string or number) for the policy - - - Policy context (read only), the policy has access to - additional information related to its class but cannot - change/alter them - - - Policy context (read and write), the policy has access to - additional information related to its class and can alter - this information (for instance to record historic - information) - - - Global context (read only), the policy has access to - additional information of any kind but cannot - change/alter them - - - Global context (read and write), the policy the policy - has access to additional information of any kind and can - alter this information (for instance to record historic - information) - - .. container:: paragraph - - The next step is to decide how the policy should do its job, - i.e. what flavor it has, how many states are needed, and how - many tasks. There are many possible combinations, for - instance: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Simple / God: a simple policy with 1 state and 1 task, - which is doing everything for the decision-making. This - is the ideal policy for simple situation, e.g. deciding - on configuration parameters or simple access control. - - - Simple sequence: a simple policy with a number of states - each having a single task. This is a very good policy for - simple decision-making with different steps. For - instance, a classic action policy (ECA) would have 3 - states (E, C, and A) with some logic (1 task) in each - state. - - - Simple selective: a policy with 1 state but more than one - task. Here, the appropriate task (and it’s logic) will be - selected at execution time. This policy is very good for - dealing with similar (or the same) situation in different - contexts. For instance, the tasks can be related to - available external software, or to current work load on - the compute node, or to time of day. - - - Selective: any number of states having any number of - tasks (usually more than 1 task). This is a combination - of the two policies above, for instance an ECA policy - with more than one task in E, C, and A. - - - Classic directed: a policy with more than one state, each - having one task, but a non-sequential execution. This - means that the sequence of the states is not pre-defined - in the policy (as would be for all cases above) but - calculated at runtime. This can be good to realize - decision trees based on contextual information. - - - Super Adaptive: using the full potential of the APEX - policy model, states and tasks and state execution are - fully flexible and calculated at runtime (per policy - execution). This policy is very close to a general - programming system (with only a few limitations), but can - solve very hard problems. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The final step is to select a response that the policy - creates. Possible responses have been discussed in the - literature for a very long time. A few examples are: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Obligation (deontic for what should happen) - - - Authorization (e.g. for rule-based or other access - control or security systems) - - - Intent (instead of providing detailed actions the - response is an intent statement and a further system - processes that) - - - Delegation (hand the problem over to someone else, - possibly with some information or instructions) - - - Fail / Error (the policy has encountered a problem, and - reports it) - - - Feedback (why did the policy make a certain decision) - -Flexible Deployment -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - - .. container:: sectionbody - - .. container:: paragraph - - APEX can be deployed in various ways. The following figure - shows a few of these deployment options. Engine and (policy) - executors are named UPe (universal policy engine, APEX - engine) and UPx (universal policy executor, the APEX - internal state machine executor). - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |APEX Deployment Options| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 6.

Based on a theoretic model, it - supports virtually any policy model and allows to - translate legacy policies into the APEX execution format. - However, the most important aspect for using APEX is to - decide what policy is needed, what underlying policy - concepts should be used, and how the decision logic - should be realized. Once these aspects are decided, APEX - can be used to execute the policies. If the policy - evolves, say from a simple decision table to a fully - adaptable policy, only the policy definition requires - change. APEX supports all of that. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The figure below shows a (non-exhaustive) matrix, which - will help to decide what policy is required to solve your - problem. Read the matrix from left to right choosing one - cell in each column. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |APEX Policy Matrix| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 1. APEX Policy Matrix - - .. container:: paragraph - - The policy can support one of a number of stimuli with an - associated purpose/model of the policy, for instance: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Configuration, i.e. what should happen. An example is - an event that states an intended network configuration - and the policy should provide the detailed actions for - it. The policy can be realized for instance as an - obligation policy, a promise or an intent. - - - Report, i.e. something did happen. An example is an - event about an error or fault and the policy needs to - repair that problem. The policy would usually be an - obligation, utility function, or goal policy. - - - Monitoring, i.e. something does happen. An example is - a notification about certain network conditions, to - which the policy might (or might not) react. The - policy will mitigate the monitored events or permit - (deny) related actions as an obligation or - authorization. - - - Analysis, i.e. why did something happen. An example is - an analytic component sends insights of a situation - requiring a policy to act on it. The policy can solve - the problem, escalate it, or delegate it as a refrain - or delegation policy. - - - Prediction, i.e. what will happen next. An example are - events that a policy uses to predict a future network - condition. The policy can prevent or enforce the - prediction as an adaptive policy, a utility function, - or a goal. - - - Feedback, i.e. why did something happen or not happen. - Similar to analysis, but here the feedback will be in - the input event and the policy needs to something with - that information. Feedback can be related to history - or experience, for instance a previous policy - execution. The policy needs to be context-aware or be - a meta-policy. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Once the purpose of the policy is decided, the next step - is to look into what context information the policy will - require to do its job. This can range from very simple to - a lot of different information, for instance: - - .. container:: ulist - - - No context, nothing but a trigger event, e.g. a string - or a number, is required - - - Event context, the incoming event provides all - information (more than a string or number) for the - policy - - - Policy context (read only), the policy has access to - additional information related to its class but cannot - change/alter them - - - Policy context (read and write), the policy has access - to additional information related to its class and can - alter this information (for instance to record - historic information) - - - Global context (read only), the policy has access to - additional information of any kind but cannot - change/alter them - - - Global context (read and write), the policy the policy - has access to additional information of any kind and - can alter this information (for instance to record - historic information) - - .. container:: paragraph - - The next step is to decide how the policy should do its - job, i.e. what flavor it has, how many states are needed, - and how many tasks. There are many possible combinations, - for instance: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Simple / God: a simple policy with 1 state and 1 task, - which is doing everything for the decision-making. - This is the ideal policy for simple situation, e.g. - deciding on configuration parameters or simple access - control. - - - Simple sequence: a simple policy with a number of - states each having a single task. This is a very good - policy for simple decision-making with different - steps. For instance, a classic action policy (ECA) - would have 3 states (E, C, and A) with some logic (1 - task) in each state. - - - Simple selective: a policy with 1 state but more than - one task. Here, the appropriate task (and it’s logic) - will be selected at execution time. This policy is - very good for dealing with similar (or the same) - situation in different contexts. For instance, the - tasks can be related to available external software, - or to current work load on the compute node, or to - time of day. - - - Selective: any number of states having any number of - tasks (usually more than 1 task). This is a - combination of the two policies above, for instance an - ECA policy with more than one task in E, C, and A. - - - Classic directed: a policy with more than one state, - each having one task, but a non-sequential execution. - This means that the sequence of the states is not - pre-defined in the policy (as would be for all cases - above) but calculated at runtime. This can be good to - realize decision trees based on contextual - information. - - - Super Adaptive: using the full potential of the APEX - policy model, states and tasks and state execution are - fully flexible and calculated at runtime (per policy - execution). This policy is very close to a general - programming system (with only a few limitations), but - can solve very hard problems. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The final step is to select a response that the policy - creates. Possible responses have been discussed in the - literature for a very long time. A few examples are: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Obligation (deontic for what should happen) - - - Authorization (e.g. for rule-based or other access - control or security systems) - - - Intent (instead of providing detailed actions the - response is an intent statement and a further system - processes that) - - - Delegation (hand the problem over to someone else, - possibly with some information or instructions) - - - Fail / Error (the policy has encountered a problem, - and reports it) - - - Feedback (why did the policy make a certain decision) - -APEX Policy Model -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Introduction ------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX policy model is shown in UML notation in the - figure below. A policy model can be stored in JSON or XML - format in a file or can be held in a database. The APEX - editor creates and modifies APEX policy models. APEX - deployment deploys policy models, and a policy model is - loaded into APEX engines so that the engines can run the - policies in the policy model. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The figure shows four different views of the policy - model: - - .. container:: ulist - - - The general model view shows the main parts of a - policy: state, state output, event, and task. A task - can also have parameters. Data types can be defined on - a per-model basis using either standard atomic types - (such as character, string, numbers) or complex types - from a policy domain. - - - The logic model view emphasizes how decision-making - logic is injected into a policy. There are essentially - three different types of logic: task logic (for - decision making in a task), task selection logic (to - select a task if more than one is defined in a state), - and state finalizer logic (to compute the final output - event of a state and select an appropriate next state - from the policy model). - - - The context model view shows how context is injected - into a policy. States collect all context from their - tasks. A task can define what context it requires for - the decision making, i.e. what context the task logic - will process. Context itself is a collection of items - (individual context information) with data types. - Context can be templated. - - - The event and field model view shows the events in the - policy model. Tasks define what information they - consume (input) and produce (output). This information - is modeled as fields, essentially a key/type tuple in - the model and a key/type/value triple at execution. - Events then are collection of fields. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |APEX Policy Model for Execution| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 2. APEX Policy Model for Execution - -Concepts and Keys -################# - - .. container:: paragraph - - Each element of the policy model is called a - *concept*. Each *concept* is a subclass of the - abstract *Concept* class, as shown in the next figure. - Every concept implements the following abstract - methods: - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |Concepts and Keys| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 3. Concepts and Keys - - .. container:: ulist - - - ``getKey()`` - gets the unique key for this concept - instance in the system - - - ``validate()`` - validates the structure of this - concept, its sub-concepts and its relationships - - - ``clean()`` - carries out housekeeping on the - concept such as trimming strings, remove any - hanging references - - - ``clone()`` - creates a deep copy of an instance of - this concept - - - ``equals()`` - checks if two instances of this - concept are equal - - - ``toString()`` - returns a string representation of - the concept - - - ``hashCode()`` - returns a hash code for the - concept - - - ``copyTo()`` - carries out a deep copy of one - instance of the concept to another instance, - overwriting the target fields. - - .. container:: paragraph - - All concepts must have a *key*, which uniquely - identifies a concept instance. The *key* of a subclass - of an *Concept* must either be an ``ArtifactKey`` or - an ``ReferenceKey``. Concepts that have a stand-alone - independent existence such as *Policy*, *Task*, and - *Event* must have an ``ArtifctKey`` key. Concepts that - are contained in other concepts, that do not exist as - stand-alone concepts must have an ``ReferenceKey`` - key. Examples of such concepts are *State* and - *EventParameter*. - - .. container:: paragraph - - An ``ArticactKey`` has two fields; the *Name* of the - concept it is the key for and the concept’s *Version*. - A concept’s name must be unique in a given - PolicyModel. A concept version is represented using - the well known *major.minor.path* scheme as used in - semantic versioning. - - .. container:: paragraph - - A ``ReferenceKey`` has three fields. The *UserKeyName* - and *UserKeyVersion* fields identify the - ``ArtifactKey`` of the concept in which the concept - keyed by the ``ReferenceKey`` is contained. The - *LocalName* field identifies the contained concept - instance. The *LocalName* must be unique in the - concepts of a given type contained by a parent. - - .. container:: paragraph - - For example, a policy called ``SalesPolicy`` with a - Version of ``1.12.4`` has a state called ``Decide``. - The ``Decide`` state is linked to the ``SalesPolicy`` - with a ``ReferenceKey`` with fields *UserKeyName* of - ``SalesPolicy``, *UserKeyVersion* of ``1.12.4``, and - *LocalName* of ``Decide``. There must not be another - state called ``Decide`` in the policy ``SalesPolicy``. - However, there may well be a state called ``Decide`` - in some other policy called ``PurchasingPolicy``. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Each concept in the model is also a JPA (`Java - Persistence - API <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Persistence_API>`__) - Entity. This means that every concept can be - individually persisted or the entire model can be - persisted en-bloc to any persistence mechanism using - an JPA framework such as - `Hibernate <http://hibernate.org/>`__ or - `EclipseLink <http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/>`__. - -Concept: PolicyModel -#################### - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *PolicyModel* concept is a container that holds - the definition of a set of policies and their - associated events, context maps, and tasks. A - *PolicyModel* is implemented as four maps for - policies, events, context maps, and tasks. Each map is - indexed by the key of the policy, event, context map, - or task. Any non-empty policy model must have at least - one entry in its policy, event, and task map because - all policies must have at least one input and output - event and must execute at least one task. - - .. container:: paragraph - - A *PolicyModel* concept is keyed with an - ``ArtifactKey key``. Because a *PolicyModel* is an - ``AxConcept``, calling the ``validate()`` method on a - policy model validates the concepts, structure, and - relationships of the entire policy model. - -Concept: DataType -################# - - .. container:: paragraph - - Data types are tightly controlled in APEX in order to - provide a very high degree of consistency in policies - and to facilitate tracking of changes to context as - policies execute. All context is modeled as a - *DataType* concept. Each DataType concept instance is - keyed with an ``ArtifactKey`` key. The DataType field - identifies the Java class of objects that is used to - represent concept instances that use this data type. - All context has a *DataType*; incoming and outgoing - context is represented by *EventField* concepts and - all other context is represented by *ContextItem* - concepts. - -Concept: Event -############## - - .. container:: paragraph - - An *Event* defines the structure of a message that - passes into or out of an APEX engine or that passes - between two states in an APEX engine. APEX supports - message reception and sending in many formats and all - messages are translated into an *Event* prior to - processing by an APEX engine. Event concepts are keyed - with an ``ArtifactKey`` key. The parameters of an - event are held as a map of *EventField* concept - instances with each parameter indexed by the - *LocalName* of its ``ReferenceKey``. An *Event* has - three fields: - - .. container:: ulist - - - The *NameSpace* identifies the domain of - application of the event - - - The *Source* of the event identifies the system - that emitted the event - - - The *Target* of the event identifies the system - that the event was sent to - - .. container:: paragraph - - A *PolicyModel* contains a map of all the events known - to a given policy model. Although an empty model may - have no events in its event map, any sane policy model - must have at least one *Event* defined. - -Concept: EventField -################### - - .. container:: paragraph - - The incoming context and outgoing context of an event - are the fields of the event. Each field representing a - single piece of incoming or outgoing context. Each - field of an *Event* is represented by an instance of - the *EventField* concept. Each *EventField* concept - instance in an event is keyed with a ``ReferenceKey`` - key, which references the event. The *LocalName* field - of the ``ReferenceKey`` holds the name of the field A - reference to a *DataType* concept defines the data - type that values of this parameter have at run time. - -Concept: ContextMap -################### - - .. container:: paragraph - - The set of context that is available for use by the - policies of a *PolicyModel* is defined as *ContextMap* - concept instances. The *PolicyModel* holds a map of - all the *ContextMap* definitions. A *ContextMap* is - itself a container for a group of related context - items, each of which is represented by a *ContextItem* - concept instance. *ContextMap* concepts are keyed with - an ``ArtifactKey`` key. A developer can use the APEX - Policy Editor to create context maps for their - application domain. - - .. container:: paragraph - - A *ContextMap* uses a map to hold the context items. - The ContextItem concept instances in the map are - indexed by the *LocalName* of their ``ReferenceKey``. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *ContextMapType* field of a *ContextMap* defines - the type of a context map. The type can have either of - two values: - - .. container:: ulist - - - A *BAG* context map is a context map with fixed - content. Each possible context item in the context - map is defined at design time and is held in the - *ContextMap* context instance as *ContextItem* - concept definitions and only the values of the - context items in the context map can be changed at - run time. The context items in a *BAG* context map - have mixed types and distinct *ContextItem* concept - instances of the same type can be defined. A *BAG* - context map is convenient for defining a group of - context items that are diverse but are related by - domain, such as the characteristics of a device. A - fully defined *BAG* context map has a fully - populated *ContextItem* map but its - *ContextItemTemplate* reference is not defined. - - - A *SAMETYPE* context map is used to represent a - group of *ContextItem* instances of the same type. - Unlike a *BAG* context map, the *ContextItem* - concept instances of a *SAMETYPE* context map can - be added, modified, and deleted at runtime. All - *ContextItem* concept instances in a *SAMETYPE* - context map must be of the same type, and that - context item is defined as a single - *ContextItemTemplate* concept instances at design - time. At run time, the *ContextItemTemplate* - definition is used to create new *ContextItem* - concept instances for the context map on demand. A - fully defined *SAMETYPE context map has an empty - ContextItem map and its ContextItemTemplate\_* - reference is defined. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *Scope* of a *ContextMap* defines the range of - applicability of a context map in APEX. The following - scopes of applicability are defined: - - .. container:: ulist - - - *EPHEMERAL* scope means that the context map is - owned, used, and modified by a single application, - but the context map only exists while that - application is running - - - *APPLICATION* scope specifies that the context map - is owned, used, and modified by a single - application, the context map is persistent - - - *GLOBAL* scope specifies that the context map is - globally owned and is used and modified by any - application, the context map is persistent - - - *EXTERNAL* scope specifies that the context map is - owned by an external system and may be used in a - read-only manner by any application, the context - map is persistent - - .. container:: paragraph - - A much more sophisticated scoping mechanism for - context maps is envisaged for Apex in future work. In - such a mechanism, the scope of a context map would - work somewhat like the way roles work in security - authentication systems. - -Concept: ContextItem -#################### - - .. container:: paragraph - - Each piece of context in a *ContextMap* is represented - by an instance of the *ContextItem* concept. Each - *ContextItem* concept instance in a context map keyed - with a ``ReferenceKey`` key, which references the - context map of the context item. The *LocalName* field - of the ``ReferenceKey`` holds the name of the context - item in the context map A reference to a *DataType* - concept defines the data type that values of this - context item have at run time. The *WritableFlag* - indicates if the context item is read only or - read-write at run time. - -Concept: ContextItemTemplate -############################ - - .. container:: paragraph - - In a *SAMETYPE* *ContextMap*, the - *ContextItemTemplate* definition provides a template - for the *ContextItem* instances that will be created - on the context map at run time. Each *ContextItem* - concept instance in the context map is created using - the *ContextItemTemplate* template. It is keyed with a - ``ReferenceKey`` key, which references the context map - of the context item. The *LocalName* field of the - ``ReferenceKey``, supplied by the creator of the - context item at run time, holds the name of the - context item in the context map. A reference to a - *DataType* concept defines the data type that values - of this context item have at run time. The - *WritableFlag* indicates if the context item is read - only or read-write at run time. - -Concept: Task -############# - - .. container:: paragraph - - The smallest unit of logic in a policy is a *Task*. A - task encapsulates a single atomic unit of logic, and - is designed to be a single indivisible unit of - execution. A task may be invoked by a single policy or - by many policies. A task has a single trigger event, - which is sent to the task when it is invoked. Tasks - emit one or more outgoing events, which carry the - result of the task execution. Tasks may use or modify - context as they execute. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The Task concept definition captures the definition of - an APEX task. Task concepts are keyed with an - ``ArtifactKey`` key. The Trigger of the task is a - reference to the *Event* concept that triggers the - task. The *OutgoingEvents* of a task are a set of - references to *Event* concepts that may be emitted by - the task. - - .. container:: paragraph - - All tasks have logic, some code that is programmed to - execute the work of the task. The *Logic* concept of - the task holds the definition of that logic. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *Task* definition holds a set of *ContextItem* and - *ContextItemTemplate* context items that the task is - allow to access, as defined by the task developer at - design time. The type of access (read-only or read - write) that a task has is determined by the - *WritableFlag* flag on the individual context item - definitions. At run time, a task may only access the - context items specified in its context item set, the - APEX engine makes only the context items in the task - context item set is available to the task. - - .. container:: paragraph - - A task can be configured with startup parameters. The - set of parameters that can be configured on a task are - defined as a set of *TaskParameter* concept - definitions. - -Concept: TaskParameter -###################### - - .. container:: paragraph - - Each configuration parameter of a task are represented - as a *Taskparameter* concept keyed with a - ``ReferenceKey`` key, which references the task. The - *LocalName* field of the ``ReferenceKey`` holds the - name of the parameter. The *DefaultValue* field - defines the default value that the task parameter is - set to. The value of *TaskParameter* instances can be - overridden at deployment time by specifying their - values in the configuration information passed to APEX - engines. - -Concept: Logic -############## - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *Logic* concept instance holds the actual - programmed task logic for a task defined in a *Task* - concept or the programmed task selection logic for a - state defined in a *State* concept. It is keyed with a - ``ReferenceKey`` key, which references the task or - state that owns the logic. The *LocalName* field of - the Logic concept is the name of the logic. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *LogicCode* field of a Logic concept definition is - a string that holds the program code that is to be - executed at run time. The *LogicType* field defines - the language of the code. The standard values are the - logic languages supported by APEX: - `JAVASCRIPT <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__, - `JAVA <https://java.com/en/>`__, - `JYTHON <http://www.jython.org/>`__, - `JRUBY <http://jruby.org/>`__, or - `MVEL <https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transwiki:MVEL_Language_Guide>`__. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX engine uses the *LogicType* field value to - decide which language interpreter to use for a task - and then sends the logic defined in the *LogicCode* - field to that interpreter. - -Concept: Policy -############### - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *Policy* concept defines a policy in APEX. The - definition is rather straightforward. A policy is made - up of a set of states with the flavor of the policy - determining the structure of the policy states and the - first state defining what state in the policy executes - first. *Policy* concepts are keyed with an - ``ArtifactKey`` key. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *PolicyFlavour* of a *Policy* concept specifies - the structure that will be used for the states in the - policy. A number of commonly used policy patterns are - supported as APEX policy flavors. The standard policy - flavors are: - - .. container:: ulist - - - The *MEDA* flavor supports policies written to the - `MEDA policy - pattern <https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282576518_Dynamically_Adaptive_Policies_for_Dynamically_Adaptive_Telecommunications_Networks>`__ - and require a sequence of four states: namely - *Match*, *Establish*, *Decide* and *Act*. - - - The *OODA* flavor supports policies written to the - `OODA loop - pattern <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OODA_loop>`__ - and require a sequence of four states: namely - *Observe*, *Orient*, *Decide* and *Act*. - - - The *ECA* flavor supports policies written to the - `ECA active rule - pattern <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_condition_action>`__ - and require a sequence of three states: namely - *Event*, *Condition* and *Action* - - - The *XACML* flavor supports policies written in - `XACML <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XACML>`__ and - require a single state: namely *XACML* - - - The *FREEFORM* flavor supports policies written in - an arbitrary style. A user can define a *FREEFORM* - policy as an arbitrarily long chain of states. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *FirstState* field of a *Policy* definition is the - starting point for execution of a policy. Therefore, - the trigger event of the state referenced in the - *FirstState* field is also the trigger event for the - entire policy. - -Concept: State -############## - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *State* concept represents a phase or a stage in a - policy, with a policy being composed of a series of - states. Each state has at least one but may have many - tasks and, on each run of execution, a state executes - one and only one of its tasks. If a state has more - than one task, then its task selection logic is used - to select which task to execute. Task selection logic - is programmable logic provided by the state designer. - That logic can use incoming, policy, global, and - external context to select which task best - accomplishes the purpose of the state in a give - situation if more than one task has been specified on - a state. A state calls one and only one task when it - is executed. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Each state is triggered by an event, which means that - all tasks of a state must also be triggered by that - same event. The set of output events for a state is - the union of all output events from all tasks for that - task. In practice at the moment, because a state can - only have a single input event, a state that is not - the final state of a policy may only output a single - event and all tasks of that state may also only output - that single event. In future work, the concept of - having a less restrictive trigger pattern will be - examined. - - .. container:: paragraph - - A *State* concept is keyed with a ``ReferenceKey`` - key, which references the *Policy* concept that owns - the state. The *LocalName* field of the - ``ReferenceKey`` holds the name of the state. As a - state is part of a chain of states, the *NextState* - field of a state holds the ``ReferenceKey`` key of the - state in the policy to execute after this state. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *Trigger* field of a state holds the - ``ArtifactKey`` of the event that triggers this state. - The *OutgoingEvents* field holds the ``ArtifactKey`` - references of all possible events that may be output - from the state. This is a set that is the union of all - output events of all tasks of the state. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *Task* concepts that hold the definitions of the - task for the state are held as a set of - ``ArtifactKey`` references in the state. The - *DefaultTask* field holds a reference to the default - task for the state, a task that is executed if no task - selection logic is specified. If the state has only - one task, that task is the default task. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The *Logic* concept referenced by a state holds the - task selection logic for a state. The task selection - logic uses the incoming context (parameters of the - incoming event) and other context to determine the - best task to use to execute its goals. The state holds - a set of references to *ContextItem* and - *ContextItemTemplate* definitions for the context used - by its task selection logic. - -Writing Logic -^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Writing APEX Task Logic ------------------------ - - .. container:: paragraph - - Task logic specifies the behavior of an Apex Task. This - logic can be specified in a number of ways, exploiting - Apex’s plug-in architecture to support a range of logic - executors. In Apex scripted Task Logic can be written in - any of these languages: - - .. container:: ulist - - - ```MVEL`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MVEL>`__, - - - ```JavaScript`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__, - - - ```JRuby`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JRuby>`__ or - - - ```Jython`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jython>`__. - - .. container:: paragraph - - These languages were chosen because the scripts can be - compiled into Java bytecode at runtime and then - efficiently executed natively in the JVM. Task Logic an - also be written directly in Java but needs to be - compiled, with the resulting classes added to the - classpath. There are also a number of other Task Logic - types (e.g. Fuzzy Logic), but these are not supported as - yet. This guide will focus on the scripted Task Logic - approaches, with MVEL and JavaScript being our favorite - languages. In particular this guide will focus on the - Apex aspects of the scripts. However, this guide does not - attempt to teach you about the scripting languages - themselves … that is up to you! - - .. tip:: - JVM-based scripting languages - For more more information on scripting for the Java platform see: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/scripting/prog_guide/index.html - - .. note:: - What do Tasks do? - The function of an Apex Task is to provide the logic that can be executed for an Apex State as one of the steps in - an Apex Policy. Each task receives some *incoming fields*, executes some logic (e.g: make a decision based on - *shared state* or *context*, *incoming fields*, *external context*, etc.), perhaps set some *shared state* or - *context* and then emits *outgoing fields*. The state that uses the task is responsible for extracting the - *incoming fields* from the state input event. The state also has an *output mapper* associated with the task, and - this *output mapper* is responsible for mapping the *outgoing fields* from the task into an appropriate - output event for the state. - - .. container:: paragraph - - First lets start with a sample task, drawn from the "My - First Apex Policy" example: The task "MorningBoozeCheck" - from the "My First Apex Policy" example is available in - both MVEL and JavaScript: - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - Javascript code for the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - :number-lines: - - /* - * ============LICENSE_START======================================================= - * Copyright (C) 2016-2018 Ericsson.

The ``executor`` provides a - field called ``subject``, which provides a schem helper with an - API for this. The complete API of the schema helper is - documented here: `API Doc: - SchemaHelper <https://ericsson.github.io/apex-docs/javadocs/index.html>`__. - - .. container:: paragraph - - If the backend is Avro, then an import of the Avro schema - library is required: - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - JS Import Avro - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - - importClass(org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData.Array); - importClass(org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord); - importClass(org.apache.avro.Schema); - - .. container:: paragraph - - If the backend is Java, then the Java class implementing the - schema needs to be imported. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The following example assumes an outfield ``situation``.

If the schema backend is Avro, - the new instance will have all fields from the Avro schema - specification, but set to ``null``. So any entry here needs to - be done separately. For instance, the ``situation`` schema has - a field ``problemID`` which we set. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - JS Outfield Instance with Schema, set - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - - situation.put("problemID", "my-problem"); - -Create a instance of an Context Album entry using Schemas -######################################################### - - .. container:: paragraph - - Context album instances can be created using very similar to - the outfields. Here, the schema helper comes from the context - album directly. The API of the schema helper is the same as for - outfields, see `API Doc: - SchemaHelper <https://ericsson.github.io/apex-docs/javadocs/index.html>`__. - - .. container:: paragraph - - If the backend is Avro, then an import of the Avro schema - library is required: - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - JS Import Avro - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - - importClass(org.apache.avro.generic.GenericData.Array); - importClass(org.apache.avro.generic.GenericRecord); - importClass(org.apache.avro.Schema); - - .. container:: paragraph - - If the backend is Java, then the Java class implementing the - schema needs to be imported. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The following example creates a new instance of a context album - instance named ``albumProblemMap``. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - JS Outfield Instance with Schema - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - - var albumProblemMap = executor.getContextAlbum("albumProblemMap"); - var linkProblem = albumProblemMap.getSchemaHelper().createNewInstance(); - - .. container:: paragraph - - This can of course be also done in a single call without the - local variable for the context album. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - JS Outfield Instance with Schema, one line - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - - var linkProblem = executor.getContextAlbum("albumProblemMap").getSchemaHelper().createNewInstance(); - - .. container:: paragraph - - If the schema backend is Java, the new instance will be as - implemented in the Java class. If the schema backend is Avro, - the new instance will have all fields from the Avro schema - specification, but set to ``null``. So any entry here needs to - be done separately (see above in outfields for an example). - -Enumerates -########## - - .. container:: paragraph - - When dealing with enumerates (Avro or Java defined), it is - sometimes and in some execution environments necessary to - convert them to a string. For example, assume an Avro enumerate - schema as: - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - Avro Enumerate Schema - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - - { - "type": "enum", - "name": "Status", - "symbols" : [ - "UP", - "DOWN" - ] - } - - .. container:: paragraph - - Using a switch over a field initialized with this enumerate in - Javascript will fail. Instead, use the ``toString`` method, for - example: - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - JS Outfield Instance with Schema, one line - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: javascript - - var switchTest = executor.inFields["status"]; - switch(switchTest.toString()){ - case "UP": ...; break; - case "DOWN": ...; break; - default: ...; - } - -MVEL Initialize Outfields First! -################################ - - .. container:: paragraph - - In MVEL, we observed a problem when accessing (setting) - outfields without a prior access to them.

The system - is build using a plugin architecture. Each configuration - option is realized by a plugin, which can be loaded and - configured when the engine is started. New plugins can be - added to the system at any time, though to benefit from a - new plugin an engine will need to be restarted. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |APEX Configuration Matrix| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 3.

In any case, make sure all execution and other - required plug-ins for the loaded model are loaded as - required. - -Input and Output Interfaces ---------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - An APEX engine has two main interfaces: - - .. container:: ulist - - - An *input* interface to receive events: also known as - ingress interface or consumer, receiving (consuming) - events commonly named triggers, and - - - An *output* interface to publish produced events: also - known as egress interface or producer, sending - (publishing) events commonly named actions or action - events. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The input and output interface is configured in terms of - inputs and outputs, respectively. Each input and output is a - combination of a carrier technology and an event protocol. - Carrier technologies and event protocols are provided by - plugins, each with its own specific configuration. Most - carrier technologies can be configured for input as well as - output. Most event protocols can be used for all carrier - technologies. One exception is the JMS object event - protocol, which can only be used for the JMS carrier - technology. Some further restrictions apply (for instance - for carrier technologies using bi- or uni-directional - modes). - - .. container:: paragraph - - Input and output interface can be configured separately, in - isolation, with any number of carrier technologies. The - resulting general configuration options are: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Input interface with one or more inputs - - .. container:: ulist - - - each input with a carrier technology and an event - protocol - - - some inputs with optional synchronous mode - - - some event protocols with additional parameters - - - Output interface with one or more outputs - - .. container:: ulist - - - each output with a carrier technology and an event - encoding - - - some outputs with optional synchronous mode - - - some event protocols with additional parameters - - .. container:: paragraph - - The configuration for input and output is contained in - ``eventInputParameters`` and ``eventOutputParameters``, - respectively. Inside here, one can configure any number of - inputs and outputs. Each of them needs to have a unique - identifier (name), the content of the name is free form. The - example below shows a configuration for two inputs and two - outputs. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - "eventInputParameters": { (1) - "FirstConsumer": { (2) - "carrierTechnologyParameters" : {...}, (3) - "eventProtocolParameters":{...}, (4) - ...

For a successful execution, the event sent - is the output event created by the policy. In case the - policy does not create an output event, APEX will create - a new event with all input event fields plus an - additional field ``exceptionMessage`` with an exception - message. - - .. container:: paragraph - - There are situations in which this auto-generated error - event might not be required or wanted: - - .. container:: ulist - - - when a policy failing should not result in an event - send out via an output interface - - - when the auto-generated event goes back in an APEX - engine (or the same APEX engine), this can create - endless loops - - - the auto-generated event should go to a special output - interface or channel - - .. container:: paragraph - - All of these situations are supported by a filter option - using a wildecard (regular expression) configuration on - APEX I/O interfaces.

Beside this engine, an APEX system comes - with a few applications intended to help with policy - authoring, deployment, and execution. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The engine itself and most applications are started from the - command line with command line arguments. This is called a - Command Line Interface (CLI). Some applications require an - installation on a webserver, as for instance the REST - Editor. Those applications can be accessed via a web - browser. - - .. container:: paragraph - - You can also use the available APEX APIs and applications to - develop other applications as required. This includes policy - languages (and associated parsers and compilers / - interpreters), GUIs to access APEX or to define policies, - clients to connect to APEX, etc. - - .. container:: paragraph - - For this documentation, we assume an installation of APEX as - a full system based on a current ONAP release. - -CLI on Unix, Windows, and Cygwin --------------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - A note on APEX CLI applications: all applications and the - engine itself have been deployed and tested on different - operating systems: Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, Mac OSX, - Windows, Cygwin. Each operating system comes with its own - way of configuring and executing Java. The main items here - are: - - .. container:: ulist - - - For UNIX systems (RHL, Ubuntu, Debian, Mac OSX), the - provided bash scripts work as expected with absolute - paths (e.g. - ``/opt/app/policy/apex-pdp/apex-pdp-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT/examples``), - indirect and linked paths (e.g. ``../apex/apex``), and - path substitutions using environment settings (e.g. - ``$APEX_HOME/bin/``) - - - For Windows systems, the provided batch files (``.bat``) - work as expected with with absolute paths (e.g. - ``C:\apex\apex-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT\examples``), and path - substitutions using environment settings (e.g. - ``%APEX_HOME%\bin\``) - - - For Cygwin system we assume a standard Cygwin - installation with standard tools (mainly bash) using a - Windows Java installation. This means that the bash - scripts can be used as in UNIX, however any argument - pointing to files and directories need to use either a - DOS path (e.g. - ``C:\apex\apex-2.0.0-SNAPSHOT\examples\config...``) or - the command ``cygpath`` with a mixed option. The reason - for that is: Cygwin executes Java using UNIX paths but - then runs Java as a DOS/WINDOWS process, which requires - DOS paths for file access. - -The APEX Engine ---------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX engine can be started in different ways, depending - your requirements.

Each time an item is processed by *HyperM*'s - point-of-sale (PoS) system an event is generated and - published about that item of stock being sold. This event - can then be used to update stock levels, etc.. - - .. container:: paragraph - - *HyperM* want to extend this approach to allow some checks - to be performed before the sale can be completed. This can - be achieved by requesting a policy-controlled decision as - each item is processed by for sale by each PoS system. The - decision process is integrated with *HyperM*'s other IT - systems that manage stock control, sourcing and purchasing, - personnel systems, etc. - - .. container:: paragraph - - In this document we will show how APEX and APEX Policies can - be used to achieve this, starting with a simple policy, - building up to more complicated policy that demonstrates the - features of APEX. - -Data Models ------------ - -Sales Input Event -################# - - .. container:: paragraph - - Each time a PoS system processes a sales item an event - with the following format is emitted: - - .. table:: Table 1.

A timestamp for - the event is stored in the ``time`` field. The ``amount`` - field refers to the value of the item(s) to be sold (in - cents). The ``item_ID`` field is a unique identifier for - each item type, and can be used to retrieve more - information about the item from *HyperM*'s stock control - system. The ``quantity`` field refers to the quantity of - the item to be sold. The ``assistant_ID`` field is a - unique identifier for the PoS operator, and can be used - to retrieve more information about the operator from the - *HyperM*'s personnel system. Since *HyperM* has many - branches the ``branch_ID`` identifies the shop. The - ``notes`` field contains arbitrary notes about the sale. - -Sales Decision Event -#################### - - .. container:: paragraph - - After a ``SALE_INPUT`` event is emitted by the PoS system - *HyperM*'s policy-based controlled sales checking system - emits a Sale Authorization Event indicating whether the - sale is authorized or denied.

This is how states are - chained together to form a (`Directed Acyclic Graph - (DAG) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph>`__ ) - of states. The final state(s) of a policy are those that do - not select any 'next' state. Since a 'State' can only - accept a single type of event, the type of the event emitted - by a previous 'State' must be match the incoming event type - of the next 'State'. This is also how the last state(s) in - a policy can emit events of different types.

The outgoing event for the state is - automatically created, any outgoing event parameters - that were present in the incoming event are copied - into the outgoing event, then any task output fields - that have the same name and type as parameters in the - outgoing event are automatically copied into - the outgoing event. - - #. **Logic-based State Output Mappings / Finalizers** - have some logic defined that dynamically selects - and creates the 'State Outgoing Event', manages - the population of the outgoing event parameters - (perhaps changing or adding to the outputs from the - task), and then dynamically selects the next state to - be executed (if any). - - .. container:: paragraph - - Each task reference must also have an associated 'Output - State Mapping' so we need an 'Output State Mapping' for - the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state to use when the - ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task is executed. The simplest type - of output mapping is a 'Direct Output Mapping'. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Create a new 'Direct Output Mapping' for the state called - ``MorningBoozeCheck_Output_Direct`` using the 'Add New - Direct State Output Mapping' button. Select ``SALE_AUTH`` - as the output event and select ``None`` for the next - state value. We can then select this output mapping for - use when the the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task is executed. - Since there is only state, and only one task for that - state, this output mapping ensures that the - ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state is the only state executed and - the state (and the policy) can only emit events of type - ``SALE_AUTH``.

In the 'Policies' pane, right - click on our ``MyFirstPolicy`` policy and select 'Edit'. - Navigate to the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state in the 'states' - section at the bottom of the policy definition pane. - - .. container:: imageblock - - .. container:: content - - |Right click to edit a policy| - - .. container:: title - - Figure 20. Edit a Policy - - .. container:: paragraph - - To add our new task ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1``, scroll - down to the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state in the 'States' - section. In the 'State Tasks' section for - ``BoozeAuthDecide`` use the 'Add new task' button. Select - our new ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1`` task, and use the name - of the task as the 'Local Name' for the task. The - ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1`` task can reuse the same - ``MorningBoozeCheck_Output_Direct`` 'Direct State Output - Mapping' that we used for the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task. - (Recall that the role of the 'State Output Mapping' is to - select the output event for the state, and select the - next state to be executed. These both remain the same as - before.) - - .. container:: paragraph - - Since our state has more than one task we must define - some logic to determine which task should be used each - time the state is executed. This *task selection logic* - is defined in the state definition. For our - ``BoozeAuthDecide`` state we want the choice of which - task to use to be based on the ``branch_ID`` from which - the ``SALE_INPUT`` event originated. For simplicity sake - let us assume that branches with ``branch_ID`` between - ``0`` and ``999`` should use the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` - task, and the branches with with ``branch_ID`` between - ``1000`` and ``1999`` should use the - ``MorningBoozeCheckAlt1`` task. - - .. container:: paragraph - - This time, for variety, we will author the task selection - logic using the - ```JavaScript`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__ - scripting language. Sample task selection logic code - (specified in - ```JavaScript`` <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript>`__) - is given below. Paste the script text into the 'Task - Selection Logic' box, and use "JAVASCRIPT" as the 'Task - Selection Logic Type / Flavour'. It is necessary to mark - one of the tasks as the 'Default Task' so that the task - selection logic always has a fallback default option in - cases where a particular task cannot be selected. In this - case the ``MorningBoozeCheck`` task can be the default - task. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: title - - JavaScript code for the ``BoozeAuthDecide`` task - selection logic - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - /* - * ============LICENSE_START======================================================= - * Copyright (C) 2016-2018 Ericsson.

Both are used - off-the-shelve, so the standard documentation and - configuration apply to APEX logging. For details on how to - work with logback please see the `logback - manual <https://logback.qos.ch/manual/index.html>`__. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The APEX applications is the logback configuration file - ``$APEX_HOME/etc/logback.xml`` (Windows: - ``%APEX_HOME%\etc\logback.xml``). The logging backend is set - to no debug, i.e. logs from the logging framework should be - hidden at runtime. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The configurable log levels work as expected: - - .. container:: ulist - - - *error* (or *ERROR*) is used for serious errors in the - APEX runtime engine - - - *warn* (or *WARN*) is used for warnings, which in general - can be ignored but might indicate some deeper problems - - - *info* (or *INFO*) is used to provide generally - interesting messages for startup and policy execution - - - *debug* (or *DEBUG*) provides more details on startup and - policy execution - - - *trace* (or *TRACE*) gives full details on every aspect - of the APEX engine from start to end - - .. container:: paragraph - - The loggers can also be configured as expected. The standard - configuration (after installing APEX) uses log level *info* - on all APEX classes (components). - - .. container:: paragraph - - The applications and scripts in ``$APEX_HOME/bin`` (Windows: - ``%APEX_HOME\bin``) are configured to use the logback - configuration ``$APEX_HOME/etc/logback.xml`` (Windows: - ``%APEX_HOME\etc\logback.xml``). There are multiple ways to - use different logback configurations, for instance: - - .. container:: ulist - - - Maintain multiple configurations in ``etc``, for instance - a ``logback-debug.xml`` for deep debugging and a - ``logback-production.xml`` for APEX in production mode, - then copy the required configuration file to the used - ``logback.xml`` prior starting APEX - - - Edit the scripts in ``bin`` to use a different logback - configuration file (only recommended if you are familiar - with editing bash scripts or windows batch files) - -Standard Logging Configuration ------------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - The standard logging configuration defines a context *APEX*, - which is used in the standard output pattern. The location - for log files is defined in the property ``VAR_LOG`` and set - to ``/var/log/onap/policy/apex-pdp``. The standard status - listener is set to *NOP* and the overall logback - configuration is set to no debug. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - :number-lines: - - <configuration debug="false"> - <statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.NopStatusListener" /> - - <contextName>Apex</contextName> - <property name="VAR_LOG" value="/var/log/onap/policy/apex-pdp/" /> - - ...appenders - ...loggers - </configuration> - -.. container:: paragraph - - The first appender defined is called ``STDOUT`` for logs to standard - out. - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - :number-lines: - - <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> - <encoder> - <Pattern>%d %contextName [%t] %level %logger{36} - %msg%n</Pattern> - </encoder> - </appender> - -.. container:: paragraph - - The root level logger then is set to the level *info* using the - standard out appender. - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - :number-lines: - - <root level="info"> - <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> - </root> - -.. container:: paragraph - - The second appender is called ``FILE``.

The first logger - captures all standard APEX classes. It is configured for log level - *info* and uses the standard output and file appenders. The second - logger captures APEX context classes responsible for context - monitoring. It is configured for log level *trace* and uses the - context file appender. - -.. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - :number-lines: - - - <logger name="org.onap.policy.apex" level="info" additivity="false"> - <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> - <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> - </logger> - - <logger name="org.onap.policy.apex.core.context.monitoring" level="TRACE" additivity="false"> - <appender-ref ref="CTXT_FILE" /> - </logger> - -Adding Logback Status and Debug -------------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - To activate logback status messages change the status listener - from 'NOP' to for instance console. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - <statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.OnConsoleStatusListener" /> - - .. container:: paragraph - - To activate all logback debugging, for instance to debug a new - logback configuration, activate the debug attribute in the - configuration. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - <configuration debug="true"> - ... - </configuration> - -Logging External Components ---------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - Logback can also be configured to log any other, external - components APEX is using, if they are using the common logging - framework. - - .. container:: paragraph - - For instance, the context component of APEX is using *Infinispan* - and one can add a logger for this external component. The - following example adds a logger for *Infinispan* using the - standard output appender. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - <logger name="org.infinispan" level="INFO" additivity="false"> - <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> - </logger> - - .. container:: paragraph - - Another example is Apache Zookeeper.

The logger for policy logic is - ``org.onap.policy.apex.executionlogging``. The following example - defines - - .. container:: ulist - - - a new appender for standard out using a very simple pattern - (simply the actual message) - - - a logger for policy logic to standard out using the new - appender and the already described file appender. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - <appender name="POLICY_APPENDER_STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> - <encoder> - <pattern>policy: %msg\n</pattern> - </encoder> - </appender> - - <logger name="org.onap.policy.apex.executionlogging" level="info" additivity="false"> - <appender-ref ref="POLICY_APPENDER_STDOUT" /> - <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> - </logger> - - .. container:: paragraph - - It is also possible to use specific logging for parts of policy - logic.

The standard - logback configuration can be used for these use cases. This - section gives two examples for the standard logging and for - context logging. - - .. container:: paragraph - - First the standard logging. The following example defines a - rolling file appender.

All other APEX components are - logging to a file (*debug*).. This configuration an be used in a - pre-production phase with the APEX engine still running in a - separate terminal to monitor policy execution. This logback - configuration is in the APEX installation as - ``etc/logback-logic.xml``. - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - <configuration debug="false"> - <statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.NopStatusListener" /> - - <contextName>Apex</contextName> - <property name="VAR_LOG" value="/var/log/onap/policy/apex-pdp/" /> - - <appender name="STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> - <encoder> - <Pattern>%d %contextName [%t] %level %logger{36} - %msg%n</Pattern> - </encoder> - </appender> - - <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> - <file>${VAR_LOG}/apex.log</file> - <encoder> - <pattern> - %d %-5relative [procId=${processId}] [%thread] %-5level%logger{26} - %msg %n %ex{full} - </pattern> - </encoder> - </appender> - - <appender name="POLICY_APPENDER_STDOUT" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender"> - <encoder> - <pattern>policy: %msg\n</pattern> - </encoder> - </appender> - - <root level="error"> - <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" /> - </root> - - <logger name="org.onap.policy.apex" level="debug" additivity="false"> - <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> - </logger> - - <logger name="org.onap.policy.apex.executionlogging" level="info" additivity="false"> - <appender-ref ref="POLICY_APPENDER_STDOUT" /> - <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> - </logger> - </configuration> - -Example Configuration for a Production Server ---------------------------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - The following example shows a configuration that logs all APEX - components, including policy logic, to a file (*debug*). This - configuration an be used in a production phase with the APEX - engine being executed as a service on a system without console - output. This logback configuration is in the APEX installation as - ``logback-server.xml`` - - .. container:: listingblock - - .. container:: content - - .. code:: - - <configuration debug="false"> - <statusListener class="ch.qos.logback.core.status.NopStatusListener" /> - - <contextName>Apex</contextName> - <property name="VAR_LOG" value="/var/log/onap/policy/apex-pdp/" /> - - <appender name="FILE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.FileAppender"> - <file>${VAR_LOG}/apex.log</file> - <encoder> - <pattern> - %d %-5relative [procId=${processId}] [%thread] %-5level%logger{26} - %msg %n %ex{full} - </pattern> - </encoder> - </appender> - - <root level="debug"> - <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> - </root> - - <logger name="org.onap.policy.apex.executionlogging" level="debug" additivity="false"> - <appender-ref ref="FILE" /> - </logger> - </configuration> - -Building a System with Websocket Backend -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ - -Websockets ----------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - Websocket is a protocol to run sockets of HTTP. Since it in - essence a socket, the connection is realized between a - server (waiting for connections) and a client (connecting to - a server). Server/client separation is only important for - connection establishment, once connected, everyone can - send/receive on the same socket (as any standard socket - would allow). - - .. container:: paragraph - - Standard Websocket implementations are simple, no - publish/subscribe and no special event handling. Most - servers simply send all incoming messages to all - connections. There is a PubSub definition on top of - Websocket called `WAMP <http://wamp-proto.org/>`__. APEX - does not support WAMP at the moment. - -Websocket in Java ------------------ - - .. container:: paragraph - - In Java, `JSR - 356 <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jsr356-1937161.html>`__ - defines the standard Websocket API. This JSR is part of Jave - EE 7 standard. For Java SE, several implementations exist in - open source. Since Websockets are a stable standard and - simple, most implementations are stable and ready to use. A - lot of products support Websockets, like Spring, JBoss, - Netty, … there are also Kafka extensions for Websockets. - -Websocket Example Code for Websocket clients (FOSS) ---------------------------------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - There are a lot of implementations and examples available on - Github for Websocket clients. If one is using Java EE 7, - then one can also use the native Websocket implementation. - Good examples for clients using simply Java SE are here: - - .. container:: ulist - - - `Websocket - implementation <https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket>`__ - - - `Websocket sending client example, using - AWT <https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/blob/master/src/main/example/ChatClient.java>`__ - - - `Websocket receiving client example (simple echo - client) <https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket/blob/master/src/main/example/ExampleClient.java>`__ - - .. container:: paragraph - - For Java EE, the native Websocket API is explained here: - - .. container:: ulist - - - `Oracle - docs <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/java/jsr356-1937161.html>`__ - - - link: `An - example <http://www.programmingforliving.com/2013/08/jsr-356-java-api-for-websocket-client-api.html>`__ - -BCP: Websocket Configuration ----------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - The probably best is to configure APEX for Websocket servers - for input (ingress, consume) and output (egress, produce) - interfaces. This means that APEX will start Websocket - servers on named ports and wait for clients to connect. - Advantage: once APEX is running all connectivity - infrastructure is running as well. Consequence: if APEX is - not running, everyone else is in the dark, too. - - .. container:: paragraph - - The best protocol to be used is JSON string. Each event on - any interface is then a string with a JSON encoding. JSON - string is a little bit slower than byte code, but we doubt - that this will be noticeable. A further advantage of JSON - strings over Websockets with APEX starting the servers: it - is very easy to connect web browsers to such a system. - Simple connect the web browser to the APEX sockets and - send/read JSON strings. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Once APEX is started you simply connect Websocket clients to - it, and send/receive event. When APEX is terminated, the - Websocket servers go down, and the clients will be - disconnected. APEX does not (yet) support auto-client - reconnect nor WAMP, so clients might need to be restarted or - reconnected manually after an APEX boot. - -Demo with VPN Policy Model --------------------------- - - .. container:: paragraph - - We assume that you have an APEX installation using the full - package, i.e. APEX with all examples, of version ``0.5.6`` - or higher. We will use the VPN policy from the APEX examples - here. - - .. container:: paragraph - - Now, have the following ready to start the demo: - - .. container:: ulist - - - 3 terminals on the host where APEX is running (we need 1 - for APEX and 1 for each client) - - - the events in the file - ``$APEX_HOME/examples/events/VPN/SetupEvents.json`` open - in an editor (we need to send those events to APEX) - - - the events in the file - ``$APEX_HOME/examples/events/VPN/Link09Events.json`` open - in an editor (we need to send those events to APEX) - -A Websocket Configuration for the VPN Domain -############################################ - - .. container:: paragraph - - Create a new APEX configuration using the VPN policy - model and configuring APEX as discussed above for - Websockets.
