The cf-java-client repo contains a Java client library and tools for Cloud Foundry. Three major components are included in this repo.
The cloudfoundry-client-lib is a Java library that provides a Java language binding for the Cloud Foundry Cloud Controller REST API. The library can be used by Java, Groovy, and Scala apps to interact with a Cloud Foundry service on behalf of a user.
The Cloud Foundry Maven plugin is a plugin for the Maven build tool that allows you to deploy and manage applications with Maven goals.
The Cloud Foundry Gradle plugin is a plugin for the Gradle build tool that allows you to deploy and manage applications with Gradle tasks.
The cloudfoundry-client-lib and cloudfoundry-maven-plugin components are built with Apache Maven.
The cloudfoundry-gradle-plugin component is built with Gradle.
The cloudfoundry-client-lib uses Protocol Buffers to get logs from the Cloud Foundry loggregator
component. A protoc Protocol Buffer compiler is required at build time to compile message specifications. protoc version
2.6.1 is required.
On Linux with apt, run the install-protoc-apt.sh script in this repository to compile protoc from source.
On OSX, run the install-protoc-osx.sh script to install protoc. Alternatively you can install protobuf using homebrew if homebrew supports the appropriate version.
On Windows, download the protoc binary zip file from the releases page,
unzip it, and put protoc.exe in the path.
After installing, run this command and check the output to make sure it is similar to the following:
$ protoc --version
libprotoc 2.6.1
To build cloudfoundry-client-lib and cloudfoundry-maven-plugin, run the following command from the project root directory:
$ mvn clean install
To build cloudfoundry-gradle-plugin, run the following command from the cloudfoundry-gradle-plugin sub-directory after
building cloudfoundry-client-lib:
$ gradle clean install
cloudfoundry-client-lib has an extensive set of integration tests which run against a Cloud Foundry service. To execute the
integration tests, run the following command from the project root directory:
$ mvn -P integration-test clean install -Dccng.target=<endpoint> -Dccng.email=<username> -Dccng.passwd=<password> -Dccng.org=<organization> -Dccng.space=<space>
Following is a complete list of the -D parameters that can be passed to the integration test:
| Parameter | Description | Required/Optional |
|---|---|---|
| ccng.target | target Cloud Foundry endpoint (e.g. https://api.run.pivotal.io) | required |
| ccng.email | Cloud Foundry username | required |
| ccng.passwd | Cloud Foundry password | required |
| ccng.org | Cloud Foundry organization to run tests against | required |
| ccng.space | Cloud Foundry space to run tests against | required |
| ccng.ssl | trust self-signed certificates from target endpoint | optional, default is false |
| vcap.mysql.label | label of a MySQL service that can be created | optional, default is cleardb |
| vcap.mysql.plan | plan of a MySQL service that can be created | optional, default is spark |
| http.proxyHost | host name of an HTTP proxy | optional |
| http.proxyPort | port of an HTTP proxy | optional |
Important
Integration tests should be run against an empty Cloud Foundry space. The integration tests are destructive, and will delete any apps, services, routes, and domains existing in the target space.
