CAS: Sample Client for Java

As the client for Java is missing at the jasig homepage I'll provide my solution here. Of course it has the "Domain" addition that I described in my earlier posts, but it is simple and quite obvious how to remove it.

So, here it is:

package cas;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.NameValuePair;
import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod;

public final class Client {
private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(Client.class.getName());

private Client() {
// static-only access
}

public static String getTicket(final String server, final String domain, final String username,
final String password, final String service) {
notNull(server, "server must not be null");
notNull(domain, "domain must not be null");
notNull(username, "username must not be null");
notNull(password, "password must not be null");
notNull(service, "service must not be null");

return getServiceTicket(server, getTicketGrantingTicket(server, domain, username, password), service);
}

private static String getServiceTicket(final String server, final String ticketGrantingTicket, final String service) {
if (ticketGrantingTicket == null)
return null;
final HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
final PostMethod post = new PostMethod(server + "/" + ticketGrantingTicket);
post.setRequestBody(new NameValuePair[] { new NameValuePair("service", service) });
try {
client.executeMethod(post);
final String response = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
switch (post.getStatusCode()) {
case 200:
return response;
default:
LOG.warning("Invalid response code (" + post.getStatusCode() + ") from CAS server!");
LOG.info("Response (1k): " + response.substring(0, Math.min(1024, response.length())));
break;
}
}
catch (final IOException e) {
LOG.warning(e.getMessage());
}
finally {
post.releaseConnection();
}
return null;
}

private static String getTicketGrantingTicket(final String server, final String domain, final String username,
final String password) {
final HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
final PostMethod post = new PostMethod(server);
post.setRequestBody(new NameValuePair[] { new NameValuePair("domain", domain),
new NameValuePair("username", username), new NameValuePair("password", password) });
try {
client.executeMethod(post);
final String response = post.getResponseBodyAsString();
switch (post.getStatusCode()) {
case 201: {
final Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile(".*action=\".*/(.*?)\".*").matcher(response);

if (matcher.matches())
return matcher.group(1);

LOG.warning("Successful ticket granting request, but no ticket found!");
LOG.info("Response (1k): " + response.substring(0, Math.min(1024, response.length())));
break;
}
default:
LOG.warning("Invalid response code (" + post.getStatusCode() + ") from CAS server!");
LOG.info("Response (1k): " + response.substring(0, Math.min(1024, response.length())));
break;
}
}
catch (final IOException e) {
LOG.warning(e.getMessage());
}
finally {
post.releaseConnection();
}
return null;
}

private static void notNull(final Object object, final String message) {
if (object == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException(message);
}

public static void main(final String[] args) {
final String server = "https://login.myServer.org/v1/tickets";
final String domain = "www.myserver.org";
final String username = "JohnDoe";
final String password = "mySecret";

final String service = "https://www.myServiceServer.org/";

LOG.info(getTicket(server, domain, username, password, service));
}
}

btw: I have implemented the same procedure for iOS and put it on GitHub
