Introduction

To use Automatics system, partner will be providing implementation of APIs based on specification. This document gives details on how to integrate partner implementation project to Automatics system.

Automatics Core is a maven project. So partner can add core as maven dependency to their maven project. After the development of APIs, partner can deploy the project to their maven repository by executing “mvn clean deploy”.

Partner XML configuration file

• Partner can inject their implementation classes to Automatics core using Spring Dependency Injection. 
• Automatics core expects spring configuration file partner-applicationContext.xml to be provided by partner project and it should be available at classpath during test execution.
• All Java API implementations to be injected should be configured in partner-applicationContext.xml.
• partner-applicationContext.xml file contains predefined bean id with respective implementation class. All beans uses "lazy-init" set to true so that bean instance will be created on demand only. And, for beans that requires separate instance for each device, property "scope" is set to value "prototype".

Automatics Rest Implementation

• Partner needs to provide REST based implementation for APIs in device management that is consumed by Automatics orchestration.
• Other device management APIs consumed by Automatics core can be implemented using Java API or REST.
• Automatics core provides rest clients for device management and hardware providers like Power Provider. Partner can provide REST implementation for them based on API specification. Automatics core, by default, will use rest implementation. However, if partners prefers to go with Java API implementation, then in Automatics Properties, update the following properties as shown.

"partner.impl.deviceManager=true”  - When set to true, Automatics expects Java based implementation of device management and it should be configured in partner-applicationContext.xml against bean "deviceProvider".

“partner.impl.powerProvider=true”  - When set to true, Automatics expects Java based implementation of power provider and it should be configured in partner-applicationContext.xml against bean "powerProvider".

Please refer Automatics Properties for all supported properties.
