Overview

This is an Web module for Shopping Service which redirects the REST requests to the Microservices Layer. This redirection layer layer is introduced to solve the CORS problem.

Build WAR using Maven

1. Ensure maven is installed
2. On command prompt, navigate to ShoppingWebBFFService project
3. Run "mvn clean package" command
4. ShoppingWebBFFService-0.1.war is created under ShoppingWebBFFService/target directory
5. Use this war file for deploying the Web module for Shopping Service on app server

Security Configuration in server.xml The backend services are secured with basic authentication. Hence the redirection REST service layer also needs to be secured. Add the following Basic Registry in server.xml file

<ldapRegistry baseDN="dc=purplecompute,dc=com" bindDN="cn=admin,dc=purplecompute,dc=com" bindPassword="{xor}Dz4sLChvLTs=" host="<ldap-server ip>" id="ldap" ignoreCase="true" ldapType="Custom" port="31252" realm="<ldap-server ip>:31252" searchTimeout="8m">
 
    <contextPool enabled="true" initialSize="1" maxSize="0" preferredSize="3" timeout="0s" waitTime="3000ms"/>
    
    <ldapCache>
        <attributesCache enabled="true" size="4000" sizeLimit="2000" timeout="1200s"/>
        <searchResultsCache enabled="true" resultsSizeLimit="1000" size="2000" timeout="600s"/>
    </ldapCache>

</ldapRegistry>
