The EDC Connector Client library for Java is a simple, easy and with minimum dependencies amount library to interact with EDC Connector Management API

Features:

• JSON-LD expansion/compaction processes done under the hood of the class model.
• Straightforward error handling.
• Configurable http interceptors to customize the calls made to the connector.

• Java 17 or higher

The library is published on maven central Choose the latest version and add it as a dependency in your favorite build automation tool.

Everything evolves around the EdcConnectorClient that can be instantiated through the Builder:

var client = EdcConnectorClient.newBuilder()
    .managementUrl("http://your.connector/management/api")
    .build();

From that client object the context specific endpoint services can be obtained:

• assets()
• policyDefinitions()
• contractDefinitions()
• contractNegotiations()
• contractAgreements()
• transferProcesses()
• dataplanes()
• applicationObservability()
• catalogs()

The client provides a way to be extended to permit to cover additional APIs that could be added by extension on your EDC runtime.

An extension can be implemented by extending the io.thinkit.edc.client.connector.resource.EdcResource class, e.g:

private static class ExtensionResource extends EdcResource {

    protected ExtensionResource(EdcClientContext context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public String doStuff() {
        // here you can call your endpoint by using the HTTP client and other components available in the `context` object
        return context.httpClient().send(requestBuilder()).map(JsonLdUtil::expand).map(body -> extractDataFrom(body));
    }
}

To make the extension available in the client it can be added on the builder using the with method:

var client = EdcConnectorClient.newBuilder()
        .with(ExtensionResource.class, ExtensionResource::new)
        .build();

and it can be obtained from the client using the resource method:

var extension = client.resource(ExtensionResource.class);

var result = extension.doStuff();
