SpringMVC Digest Jenkin RSS Feed

The following tutorial will demo how to write a simple web application using spring mvc and thymeleaf and read the jenkin job rss feed and how to include the certificate.

Spring mvc maven project

Run the following command on your project workspace, and select the plugin project number from the console. In my case i’m enter 39 for Thymeleaf Spring Maven Archetype project.

C:workspace> mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mingch.jenkin

 

POM

Add the following dependencies into your pom.xml

<!– RSS –>
<dependency>
        <groupId>rome</groupId>
        <artifactId>rome</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
</dependency>

 

RSS Service

I’m going to create a interface that implement a method called getFeed().

public interface RssService {

    public String getFeed();		
}

 

Next, create the implementation

import com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.SyndEntry;
import com.sun.syndication.feed.synd.SyndFeed;
import com.sun.syndication.io.SyndFeedInput;
import com.sun.syndication.io.XmlReader;

@Service
public class RssServiceImpl implements RssService {
   private URL url = null;
	
   private XmlReader xmlReader = null;

   @Override
   public String getFeed() {	
 	return getRSS("https://your.jenkin.com/jenkins/view/Sample/job/buildAutomation/rssAll");		
   }

   private String getRSS(String jengkinURL) {
		
      String status = null;
      try {
			
	url = new URL(jengkinURL);
	xmlReader = new XmlReader(url);
							
	SyndFeed feeder = new SyndFeedInput().build(xmlReader);		 
				
	for (Iterator iterator = feeder.getEntries().iterator(); 
           iterator.hasNext();) {
	   SyndEntry syndEntry = (SyndEntry) iterator.next();					        
	   status = syndEntry.getTitle() + " " +  syndEntry.getUpdatedDate();
	   return status;					        
	}
     }catch (Exception e) {
	e.printStackTrace();
     }finally {
	try {
	    if(xmlReader!=null){
	       xmlReader.close();
	    }
	}catch(Exception e){ 
            e.printStackTrace(); 
        }
     }
     return status;						
  }
}

 

Create a controller

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

import com.com.mingch.jenkin.service.RssService;

@Controller
public class RssParseController {
	
	@Autowired private RssService service; 
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/rss", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public String homeForm(Model model) {
		
		model.addAttribute("message", service.getFeed());
		return "index";
	}
}

 

Create a html page

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">
 
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1"/>
<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="Spring mvc rss demo"/>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1"/>
 
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../../css/style.css" th:href="@{/css/style.css}"/>
<script src="../../js/libs/modernizr-2.0.6.min.js" th:src="@{/js/libs/modernizr-2.0.6.min.js}"></script>
</head>
 
<body>
        <div id="container">
           <header> </header>             
               <h1>RSS Feed Result</h1>               
               <p th:text="${message}">This result will be replace</p>
           <footer>
           </footer>
        </div>
        <!–! end of #container –>
        <script>
                /*<![CDATA[*/
                      //Embbeded Javascript    
                /*]]>*/
        </script>
</body>
</html>

 

Troubleshooting

Since the jenkin job i have is using https and required certificate install. If run directly will encounter the following error.

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

Solution

There are number of solution out there, but i’ll use InstallCert for this article. Let’s assume you’re using eclipse to do the development. Copy the InstallCert into your Eclipse.

Right click the InstallCert.java from your eclipse, run as -> run configuration, select the Argument tab, and from the Program arguments, enter the url and port(optional) Example:

jenkin.mingch.com

Next, save and run it and you should see something in your console and prompt you enter ‘q’ or [1]:

Loading KeyStore C:Program Files (x86)Javajdk1.7.0_01jrelibsecuritycacerts...
Opening connection to jenkin.mingch.com:443...
Starting SSL handshake...

No errors, certificate is already trusted

Server sent 1 certificate(s):

Added certificate to keystore 'jssecacerts' using alias 'jenkin.mingch.com-1'

 

Finally

When you had reach this stage, there is a file called jssecacerts will created under your project. You need to copy this file and put under your [java_home]/jre/lib/security folder. Re-run your application again you should success at this time.
