SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) v2 Proof Of Concept

This repo is a Vagrant environment that supports spinning up two different implementations of SWORD v2 servers:

1. Simple Sword Server (SSS), the reference implementation written in Python
2. swordpoc, a very minimal implemention written in Java

Spinning up the Vagrant VM

To use the Vagrant VM, install Vagrant from http://vagrantup.com and VirtualBox from http://virtualbox.org and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/dvn/swordpoc.git
git submodule init
git submodule update
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

Running Simple Sword Server (SSS) in Vagrant

In one of the steps below, we clone the code from https://github.com/swordapp/Simple-Sword-Server

The main point of this exercise is to deposit "example.zip" into the SWORD server using curl.

Please note that you'll need to replace the UUIDs and timestamp below based on the output you see.

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
sudo su -
git clone https://github.com/swordapp/Simple-Sword-Server.git
cd Simple-Sword-Server
python setup.py install
mkdir /tmp/sss-server
cd /tmp/sss-server
cp /root/Simple-Sword-Server/sss/sss-1.0.py sss.py
easy_install web.py
easy_install lxml==2.3.4
python sss.py &
cd /tmp/sss-client
curl -s -i -H "X-On-Behalf-Of: obo" http://sword:sword@localhost:8080/sd-uri | grep col-uri | head -1
# note UUID from output above
curl -i -H "X-On-Behalf-Of: obo" --http1.0 --data-binary "@example.zip" -H "Content-Disposition: filename=example.zip" -H "Content-Type: application/zip" sword:sword@localhost:8080/col-uri/f19ae45f-5455-4b10-96a4-25396bb8a228
cd /tmp/sss-server/store/f19ae45f-5455-4b10-96a4-25396bb8a228/6d56e25c-c837-4138-b7c7-23e6a912d3eb
unzip 2013-06-17T16\:52\:36Z_example.zip 
cat example/hello.txt

A more complicated SSS example: two step deposit

In the example above, "example.zip" is deposited into a SWORD collection, but let's imagine a more complicated example.

Let's say we want to perform the following steps:

1. Create a resource with an atom entry (i.e. an XML file): http://swordapp.github.io/SWORDv2-Profile/SWORDProfile.html#protocoloperations_creatingresource_entry
2. Upload example.zip to the newly created resource: http://swordapp.github.io/SWORDv2-Profile/SWORDProfile.html#protocoloperations_editingcontent_binary

These steps translate into two distinct HTTP request, as explained by the SWORDv2 spec lead, Richard Jones...

It is my plan and hope to back all of the multipart OUT of the sword spec for a future version (like a 2.1), so I strongly recommend not using multipart deposit. Instead do a POST of an Atom Entry and a PUT of the Media Resource in two distinct HTTP requests.

</entry>

This creates a number of files under the "4e1f7a9a-f8d4-4795-b230-195acb6680c9" collection:

[root@logus sss-client]# cd /tmp/sss-server/store/4e1f7a9a-f8d4-4795-b230-195acb6680c9

70566b02-76a9-496d-b1bb-356ba9acc7f2/sss_statement.xml

We can think of "70566b02-76a9-496d-b1bb-356ba9acc7f2" as the unique identifier for the resource we just created. It contains a number of files:

• atom.xml matches exactly the atom-entry-study.xml file we used to create the resource.
• sss_deposit-receipt.xml is the output we saw from the curl command when we created the resource.
• sss_metadata.xml is a simpler version of atom.xml (i.e. <dcterms:creator> becomes just <creator>).
• sss_statement.atom.xml shows the state of the resource, indicating the following: "The work has passed through review and is now in the archive".
• sss_statement.xml is similar to sss_statement.atom.xml in that it shows the state, but is longer and in RDF format.

Upload example.zip (PUT)

Next we upload example.zip to the resource we created ("70566b02-76a9-496d-b1bb-356ba9acc7f2").

We use --upload-file for this, which does a PUT.

[root@logus 4e1f7a9a-f8d4-4795-b230-195acb6680c9]# cd /tmp/sss-client
[root@logus sss-client]# curl --upload-file example.zip -H "Content-Disposition: filename=example.zip" -H "Content-Type: application/zip" http://sword:sword@localhost:8080/em-uri/4e1f7a9a-f8d4-4795-b230-195acb6680c9/70566b02-76a9-496d-b1bb-356ba9acc7f2
[root@logus sss-client]# 

We don't see any output above but the console output indicates some activity...

The atom.xml file has been deleted, which was an exact copy of the atom-entry-study.xml file we used to create the resource. Some of the content from that file such as our <dcterms:creator> entries are still preserved in sss_deposit-receipt.xml and sss_metadata.xml.

Running swordpoc in Vagrant

Build and deploy the SWORD v2 server implementation in Java with the commands below. Running java2.sh should upload a "example.zip" to /tmp/uploads

vagrant up
vagrant ssh
cd /downloads
./download.sh
/swordpoc/java
unzip glassfish-3.1.2.2.zip
/downloads/glassfish3/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain
cd ~
# FIXME: is org.swordapp:sword2-server:jar published anywhere?
