REST wrappings for JHOVE, provides:

• JAXB REST resources for JHOVE validation
• Dropwizard application server
• Basic Web GUI implementation

Build from source

You'll need Java 8 or greater and Maven to build the project.

1. Clone this repo: git clone [email protected]:openpreserve/jhove-rest.git
2. Drop into project directory: cd jhove-rest
3. Compile and package via Maven mvn clean package

Run the server

From the cloned project directory to start the jetty server:

java -jar jhove-rest-server/target/jhove-rest-server-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar server jhove-rest.yml

Test WS Service deployment from command line

Using CURL:

curl localhost:8080/api/jhove
{"version":"1.22.1","buildDate":1556547671000,"rights":"Derived from software Copyright 2004-2011 by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. Version 1.7 to 1.11 independently released.

Test if the server is working via Web Browser

Open a browser and visit http://localhost:8080/

Explore the API

Go to http://localhost:8080/api/swagger#/jhove in your browser to see the swagger documentation of the API and try it.

Try via CURL

To validate a local file ./tmp/test.jpg use the following CURL command:

curl -F "file=@tmp/test.jpg" -F "module=JPEG-hul" localhost:8080/api/jhove/validate -H  "Accept:application/xml"

If you prefer JSON results:

curl -F "file=@tmp/test.jpg" -F "module=JPEG-hul" localhost:8080/api/jhove/validate -H  "Accept:application/xml"

Build with a different module selection/versions

The version of the JHOVE modules used to build the rest server are all held within pom.xml. Change the versions here to those required and rebuild the project.
