OPA extension SDK allows customers, external developers/partners to connect to legacy on-prem systems using Java within the Workato Agent infrastructure.

Extension mechanism is enabled by adding the extensions section to the config file, conf/config.yml:

    server:
      classpath: C:\\Program Files\\Workato Agent\\ext
    extensions:
      security:
        controllerClass: com.mycompany.onprem.SecurityExtension
        secret: HA63A3043AMMMM

Individual endpoints are defined inside extensions, where every key serves as endpoint name. Every endpoint name has to be valid identifier, has to be URL-friendly and cannot contain any special characters (like whitespace, etc.).

Classpath defines a set of folders/JAR files containing compiled extensions.

Every endpoint is hosted inside the REST-compliant URL: /ext/<endpointName>/<resource> where <endpointName> corresponds to key defined in the configuration file and <resource> is an specific REST resource within the endpoint.

Endpoint request handling logic is defined by Spring REST controller class, provided as controllerClass property. This controller class is registered inside an endpoint-specific Spring WebApplicationContext and allows retrieving configuration properties from the config.yml file.

Full code can be found here.

package com.mycompany.onprem;

// import rest of the packages here:
@Controller
public class SecurityExtension {

    @Inject
    private Environment env;

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public @ResponseBody Map<String, Object> computeDigest(@RequestBody Map<String, Object> body) throws Exception {
        Charset encoding = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
        String payload = (String) body.get("payload");
        MessageDigest digest = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
        digest.update(env.getProperty("secret").getBytes(encoding));
        byte[] result = digest.digest(payload.getBytes(encoding));
        return Collections.singletonMap("signature", Hex.encodeHexString(result));
    }
}

Given the configuration:

    extensions:
      security:
        controllerClass: com.mycompany.onprem.SecurityExtension
        secret: HA63A3043AMMMM 

Steps to build an extension:

1. Install the latest Java 8 SDK
2. Use ./gradlew jar command to bootstrap Gradle and build the project.
3. The output is in build/libs.

1. Add a new directory called ext under Workato agent install directory.
2. Copy the extension JAR file to ext directory.
3. Update the config/config.yml to add the ext file to class path.

    server:
      classpath: C:\\Program Files\\Workato Agent\\ext

4. Update the config/config.yml to configure the new extension.

    extensions:
      security:
        controllerClass: com.mycompany.onprem.SecurityExtension
        secret: HA63A3043AMMMM

In order to use the extension in a recipe, we need a custom adapter in Workato. Sample adapter for the extension can be found here.

{
  title: 'On-prem security',
  secure_tunnel: true,

  connection: {
    fields: [{ name: 'profile', hint: 'On-prem security connection profile' }],
    authorization: { type: 'none'}
  },

  test: ->(connection) {
    post("http://localhost/ext/#{connection['profile']}/computeDigest", { payload: 'test' }).headers('X-Workato-Connector': 'enforce')
  },

  actions: {
    sha256_digest: {

      title: 'Create SHA-256 digest',
      description: 'Create <span class="provider">SHA-256</span> digest',

      input_fields: ->(_) { [{ name: 'payload' }] },
      output_fields: ->(_) { [{name: 'signature'}] },

      execute: ->(connection, input) {
        post("http://localhost/ext/#{connection['profile']}/computeDigest", input).headers('X-Workato-Connector': 'enforce')
      }
    }
  }
