SaltyRTC Java Client

Build status Codacy Java Version License CII Best Practices Chat on Gitter

This is a SaltyRTC v1 implementation for Java 8+.

Installing

The package is available on Maven Central.

Gradle:

compile 'org.saltyrtc:saltyrtc-client:0.14.1'

Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.saltyrtc</groupId>
  <artifactId>saltyrtc-client</artifactId>
  <version>0.14.1</version>
  <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Usage / Documentation

Documentation can be found at https://saltyrtc.github.io/saltyrtc-client-java/.

Plase note that instances of this library are not considered thread-safe. Thus, an application using more than one thread needs to take care of synchronisation itself.

Manual Testing

To try a development version of the library, you can build a local version to the local maven repository (usually at $HOME/.m2/repository/):

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

Include it in your project like this:

repositories {
    ...
    mavenLocal()
}

Coding Guidelines

Unfortunately we cannot use all Java 8 features, in order to be compatible with Android API <24. Please avoid using the following APIs:

  • java.lang.annotation.Repeatable
  • AnnotatedElement.getAnnotationsByType(Class)
  • java.util.stream
  • java.lang.FunctionalInterface
  • java.lang.reflect.Method.isDefault()
  • java.util.function
  • java.util.Optional

The CI tests contains a script to ensure that these APIs aren't being called. You can also run it manually:

bash .circleci/check_android_support.sh

Automated Testing

1. Preparing the Server

First, clone the saltyrtc-server-python repository.

git clone https://github.com/saltyrtc/saltyrtc-server-python
cd saltyrtc-server-python

Then create a test certificate for localhost, valid for 5 years.

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -sha256 \
    -out saltyrtc.csr -keyout saltyrtc.key \
    -subj '/C=CH/O=SaltyRTC/CN=localhost/'
openssl x509 -req -days 1825 \
    -in saltyrtc.csr \
    -signkey saltyrtc.key -out saltyrtc.crt

Create a Java keystore containing this certificate.

keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias root \
    -file saltyrtc.crt -keystore saltyrtc.jks \
    -storetype JKS -storepass saltyrtc -noprompt

Create a Python virtualenv with dependencies:

python3 -m virtualenv venv
venv/bin/pip install .[logging]

Finally, start the server with the following test permanent key:

export SALTYRTC_SERVER_PERMANENT_KEY=0919b266ce1855419e4066fc076b39855e728768e3afa773105edd2e37037c20 # Public: 09a59a5fa6b45cb07638a3a6e347ce563a948b756fd22f9527465f7c79c2a864
venv/bin/saltyrtc-server -v 5 serve -p 8765 \
    -sc saltyrtc.crt -sk saltyrtc.key \
    -k $SALTYRTC_SERVER_PERMANENT_KEY

2. Running Tests

Make sure that the certificate keystore from the server is copied or symlinked to this repository:

ln -s path/to/saltyrtc-server-python/saltyrtc.jks

With the server started in the background and the saltyrtc.jks file in the current directory, run the tests:

./gradlew test
