Interface ReadOnlyApplicationLink

All Known Subinterfaces:

ApplicationLink

@PublicApi
public interface ReadOnlyApplicationLink

Represents a link to a remote application-level entity (JIRA, Confluence, Bamboo, etc). In contrast to ApplicationLink, this one cannot be modified. Nevertheless, it is not advised to persist any instance returned by this class - if really needed use the ApplicationId instead an listen for ApplicationLinksIDChangedEvents.

Since:

4.0

Method Detail

getId

ApplicationId getId()

This ApplicationId is subject to change if an administrator:

• upgrades the remote application to use Unified Application Links (and this link was created prior to the upgrade); or
• the remote application does not have Unified Application Links deployed, and its RPC URL changes.

If you are storing the ApplicationId for any reason, your plugin should listen for the ApplicationLinksIDChangedEvent.

Returns:

the globally unique ID of the server at the other end of this link.

getType

ApplicationType getType()

See the com.atlassian.applinks.api.application package for a list of ApplicationTypes bundled with the Unified Application Links plugin. Additional types can be added via the extension APIs in the applinks-spi module.

Returns:

the type of the application e.g. JiraApplicationType

getName

String getName()

Returns:

a brief identifier for the linked application e.g. "My FishEye". Note that this property is never guaranteed to be unique or immutable. Do not use as primary key (use ID instead).

getDisplayUrl

URI getDisplayUrl()

Returns:

the base URL to be used when constructing links that are sent to clients, e.g. web browsers. The URI returned by this method will have no trailing slash. e.g. "https://mydomain.com/jira"

getRpcUrl

URI getRpcUrl()

Returns:

the base URL to be used when constructing URIs to be used for RPC calls to this application (e.g. xml-rpc, SOAP or REST requests). The returned URI will have no trailing slash. e.g. "http://localhost:8080/jira"

isPrimary

boolean isPrimary()

Returns:

true if this is the primary ApplicationLink of its type, false otherwise

isSystem

boolean isSystem()

Returns:

true if this is a system link, false otherwise

createAuthenticatedRequestFactory

ApplicationLinkRequestFactory createAuthenticatedRequestFactory()

The ApplicationLinkRequestFactory returned by this method will choose a single AuthenticationProvider for automatically authenticating created Request objects. The selection algorithm is as follows:

• If no existing user context (checked by UserManager.getRemoteUsername()), the request will be unauthenticated, and processed in the remote application anonymously.
• If one or more ImpersonatingAuthenticationProviders are configured (for example, OAuth or Trusted Applications), one will be used. Trusted Applications will be returned in preference to OAuth if both are configured;
• else if one or more NonImpersonatingAuthenticationProviders are configured (for example, Basic Auth), one will be used
• else the request will be unauthenticated, and processed in the remote application anonymously.

Additional AuthenticationProviders can be implemented via the extension APIs in the applinks-spi module. If your feature only supports a single authentication method, you should use createAuthenticatedRequestFactory(Class)}.

Returns:

an ApplicationLinkRequestFactory for creating requests that are authenticated for this ApplicationLink.

createAuthenticatedRequestFactory

ApplicationLinkRequestFactory createAuthenticatedRequestFactory(Class<? extends AuthenticationProvider> providerClass)

This method returns a ApplicationLinkRequestFactory initialised by the specified AuthenticationProvider. You should use this method only if your feature requires a specific AuthenticationProvider implementation. Note that this method will return null if an administrator of the local application has not configured the specified AuthenticationProvider for this ApplicationLink.

Parameters:

providerClass - the AuthenticationProvider type to use for the RequestFactory

Returns:

a RequestFactory for creating requests that are authenticated for this ApplicationLink using an AuthenticationProvider implementation that conforms to the supplied providerClass, or null if no AuthenticationProvider is configured for this ApplicationLink. If the supplied providerClass is AuthenticationProvider.class this method will bind the RequestFactory to any available AuthenticationProvider, or return null if there are no AuthenticationProviders configured. This method will only return an unauthenticated RequestFactory if the supplied providerClass is Anonymous.

createAuthenticatedRequestFactory()

createImpersonatingAuthenticatedRequestFactory

ApplicationLinkRequestFactory createImpersonatingAuthenticatedRequestFactory()

Creates a request factory for impersonating requests (see ImpersonatingAuthenticationProvider). The authentication providers will be considered in the strict order given in the following list. The first authentication mode supported by the product and configured on this link will be returned. - TrustedAppsAuthenticationProvider - TwoLeggedOAuthWithImpersonationAuthenticationProvider - OAuthAuthenticationProvider

Returns:

request factory for impersonating requests, or null if no such factory is available on this link

Since:

3.10

createNonImpersonatingAuthenticatedRequestFactory

ApplicationLinkRequestFactory createNonImpersonatingAuthenticatedRequestFactory()

Creates a request factory for non-impersonating requests (see NonImpersonatingAuthenticationProvider). The authentication providers will be considered in the strict order given in the following list. The first authentication mode supported by the product and configured on this link will be returned. - TwoLeggedOAuthAuthenticationProvider - BasicAuthenticationProvider

Returns:

request factory for non-impersonating requests, or null if no such factory is available on this link
