Openscoring client and server uber-JAR files are distributed via the GitHub releases page, and the Openscoring webapp WAR file is distributed via the Maven Central repository.
This README file corresponds to latest source code snapshot. In order to follow its instructions as closely as possible, it's recommended to download the latest binary release.
The current version is 2.1.1 (25 September, 2022):
- openscoring-client-executable-2.1.1.jar
- openscoring-server-executable-2.1.1.jar
- openscoring-webapp-2.1.1.war
Enter the project root directory and build using Apache Maven:
mvn clean install
The build produces two uber-JAR files and a WAR file:
openscoring-client/target/openscoring-client-executable-2.1-SNAPSHOT.jaropenscoring-server/target/openscoring-server-executable-2.1-SNAPSHOT.jaropenscoring-webapp/target/openscoring-webapp-2.1-SNAPSHOT.war
The example PMML file DecisionTreeIris.pmml along with example JSON and CSV files can be found in the openscoring-service/src/etc directory.
Launch the executable uber-JAR file:
java -jar openscoring-server-executable-${version}.jar
By default, the REST web service is started at http://localhost:8080/openscoring. The main class org.openscoring.server.Main accepts a number of configuration options for URI customization and other purposes. Please specify --help for more information.
java -jar openscoring-server-executable-${version}.jar --help
Copy the sample Typesafe's Config configuration file openscoring-server/application.conf.sample to a new file application.conf, and customize its content to current needs. Use the config.file system property to impose changes on the JVM:
java -Dconfig.file=application.conf -jar openscoring-server-executable-${version}.jar
The local configuration overrides the default configuration that is defined in the reference REST web service configuration file openscoring-service/src/main/reference.conf. For example, the following local configuration would selectively override the list-valued networkSecurityContextFilter.adminAddresses property (treats any local or remote IP address as an admin IP address):
networkSecurityContextFilter {
adminAddresses = ["*"]
}
Copy the sample Java Logging API configuration file openscoring-server/logging.properties.sample to a new file logging.properties, and customize its content to current needs. Use the java.util.logging.config.file system property to impose changes on the JVM:
java -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -jar target/openscoring-server-executable-${version}.jar
Replay the life cycle of a sample DecisionTreeIris model (in "REST API", see below) by launching the following Java application classes from the uber-JAR file:
java -cp openscoring-client-executable-${version}.jar org.openscoring.client.Deployer --model http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris --file DecisionTreeIris.pmml
java -cp openscoring-client-executable-${version}.jar org.openscoring.client.Evaluator --model http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris -XSepal_Length=5.1 -XSepal_Width=3.5 -XPetal_Length=1.4 -XPetal_Width=0.2
java -cp openscoring-client-executable-${version}.jar org.openscoring.client.CsvEvaluator --model http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris --input input.csv --output output.csv
java -cp openscoring-client-executable-${version}.jar org.openscoring.client.Undeployer --model http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris
The deployment and undeployment of models can be automated by launching the org.openscoring.client.DirectoryDeployer Java application class from the uber-JAR file, which listens for PMML file addition and removal events on the specified directory ("PMML directory watchdog"):
java -cp openscoring-client-executable-${version}.jar org.openscoring.client.DirectoryDeployer --model-collection http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model --dir pmml

See the Openscoring-R project.
Model REST API endpoints:
| HTTP method | Endpoint | Required role(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET | /model | - | Get the summaries of all models |
| PUT | /model/${id} | admin | Deploy a model |
| GET | /model/${id} | - | Get the summary of a model |
| GET | /model/${id}/pmml | admin | Download a model as a PMML document |
| POST | /model/${id} | - | Evaluate data in "single prediction" mode |
| POST | /model/${id}/batch | - | Evaluate data in "batch prediction" mode |
| POST | /model/${id}/csv | - | Evaluate data in "CSV prediction" mode |
| DELETE | /model/${id} | admin | Undeploy a model |
By default, the "admin" role is granted to all HTTP requests that originate from the local network address.
In case of an error (ie. response status codes 4XX or 5XX), the response body is a JSON serialized form of an org.openscoring.common.SimpleResponse (source) object.
Java clients may use the following idiom to check if an operation succeeded or failed:
ModelResponse response = ...;
// The error condition is encoded by initializing the "message" field and leaving all other fields uninitialized
String message = response.getMessage();
if(message != null){
throw new RuntimeException(message);
}
// Proceed as usualCreates or updates a model.
The request body is a PMML document (indicated by content-type header text/xml or application/xml).
The response body is a JSON serialized form of an org.openscoring.common.ModelResponse (source) object.
Response status codes:
- 200 OK. The model was updated.
- 201 Created. A new model was created.
- 400 Bad Request. The deployment failed permanently. The request body is not a valid and/or supported PMML document.
- 403 Forbidden. The acting user does not have an "admin" role.
- 500 Internal Server Error. The deployment failed temporarily.
Sample cURL invocation:
curl -X PUT --data-binary @DecisionTreeIris.pmml -H "Content-type: text/xml" http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris

}Field definitions are retrieved from the MiningSchema and Output elements of the PMML document. The input and group-by fields relate to the arguments attribute of the evaluation request, whereas the target and output fields relate to the result attribute of the evaluation response (see below).
Downloads a model.
The response body is a PMML document.
Response status codes:
- 200 OK. The model was downloaded.
- 403 Forbidden. The acting user does not have an "admin" role.
- 404 Not Found. The requested model was not found.
Sample cURL invocation:
curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris/pmml
Evaluates data in "single prediction" mode.
The request body is a JSON serialized form of an org.openscoring.common.EvaluationRequest (source) object.
The response body is a JSON serialized form of an org.openscoring.common.EvaluationResponse (source) object.
Response status codes:
- 200 OK. The evaluation was successful.
- 400 Bad Request. The evaluation failed permanently due to missing or invalid input data.
- 404 Not Found. The requested model was not found.
- 500 Internal Server Error. The evaluation failed temporarily.
Sample cURL invocation:
curl -X POST --data-binary @EvaluationRequest.json -H "Content-type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris
Sample request:
{
"id" : "record-001",
"arguments" : {
"Sepal_Length" : 5.1,
"Sepal_Width" : 3.5,
"Petal_Length" : 1.4,
"Petal_Width" : 0.2
}
}Sample response:
{
"id" : "record-001",
"results" : {
"Species" : "setosa",
"Probability_setosa" : 1.0,
"Probability_versicolor" : 0.0,
"Probability_virginica" : 0.0,
"Node_Id" : "2"
}
}Evaluates data in "batch prediction" mode.
The request body is a JSON serialized form of an org.openscoring.common.BatchEvaluationRequest (source) object.
The response body is a JSON serialized form of an org.openscoring.common.BatchEvaluationResponse (source) object.
Response status codes:
- 200 OK. The evaluation was successful.
- 400 Bad Request. The evaluation failed permanently due to missing or invalid input data.
- 404 Not Found. The requested model was not found.
- 500 Internal Server Error. The evaluation failed temporarily.
Sample cURL invocation:
curl -X POST --data-binary @BatchEvaluationRequest.json -H "Content-type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris/batch
The evaluation is performed at "record" isolation level. If the evaluation of some org.openscoring.common.EvaluationRequest object fails, then the corresponding org.openscoring.common.EvaluationResponse object encodes the error condition (see above).
Evaluates data in "CSV prediction" mode.
The request body is a CSV document (indicated by content-type header text/plain). The data table must contain a data column for every input and group-by field. The ordering of data columns is not significant, because they are mapped to fields by name.
The CSV reader component detects the CSV dialect by probing ,, ; and \t as CSV delimiter characters. This detection functionality can be suppressed by supplying the value of the CSV delimiter character using the delimiterChar query parameter.
The response body is a CSV document. The data table contains a data column for every target and output field.
The first data column can be employed for row identification purposes. It will be copied over from the request data table to the response data table if its name equals to "Id" (the comparison is case insensitive) and the number of rows did not change during the evaluation.
Response status codes:
- 200 OK. The evaluation was successful.
- 400 Bad request. The evaluation failed permanently. The request body is not a valid and/or supported CSV document, or it contains cells with missing or invalid input data.
- 404 Not Found. The requested model was not found.
- 500 Internal Server Error. The evaluation failed temporarily.
Sample cURL invocation:
curl -X POST --data-binary @input.csv -H "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris/csv > output.csv
The same, using the gzip encoding:
curl -X POST --data-binary @input.csv.gz -H "Content-encoding: gzip" -H "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8" -H "Accept-encoding: gzip" http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris/csv > output.csv.gz
Sample request:
Id,Sepal_Length,Sepal_Width,Petal_Length,Petal_Width
record-001,5.1,3.5,1.4,0.2
record-002,7,3.2,4.7,1.4
record-003,6.3,3.3,6,2.5
Sample response:
Id,Species,Probability_setosa,Probability_versicolor,Probability_virginica,Node_Id
record-001,setosa,1.0,0.0,0.0,2
record-002,versicolor,0.0,0.9074074074074074,0.09259259259259259,6
record-003,virginica,0.0,0.021739130434782608,0.9782608695652174,7
The evaluation is performed at "all-records-or-nothing" isolation level. If the evaluation of some row fails, then the whole CSV document fails.
Deletes a model.
The response body is a JSON serialized form of an org.openscoring.common.SimpleResponse (source) object.
Response status codes:
- 200 OK. The model was deleted.
- 403 Forbidden. The acting user does not have an "admin" role.
- 404 Not Found. The requested model was not found.
- 500 Internal Server Error. The undeployment failed temporarily.
Sample cURL invocation:
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris
An HTTP PUT or DELETE method can be masked as an HTTP POST method by using the HTTP method override mechanism.
Sample cURL invocation that employs the X-HTTP-Method-Override request header:
curl -X POST -H "X-HTTP-Method-Override: DELETE" http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris
Sample cURL invocation that employs the _method query parameter:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/openscoring/model/DecisionTreeIris?_method=DELETE
