How to use Google Pull Task Queue REST API outside App Engine? - google-app-engine

I'm having trouble dealing with the Pull Task Queue REST API. Whenever I try it says "403 - you are not allowed to make this api call". I'm trying this in my computer, which is obviously out of the App and Compute Engine.
I have my Service account credential, my queue.xml in WEB-INF, and now I'm wondering if the queue must be created first before start using it ... is that necessary?
This is my code... Am I missing something?
JsonFactory JSON_FACTORY = JacksonFactory.getDefaultInstance();
HttpTransport httpTransport = GoogleNetHttpTransport.newTrustedTransport();
List<String> scopes = new ArrayList<>();
scopes.add(TaskqueueScopes.TASKQUEUE);
scopes.add(TaskqueueScopes.TASKQUEUE_CONSUMER);
ClassLoader classloader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
InputStream is = classloader.getResourceAsStream("credential-12356.json");
GoogleCredential credential = GoogleCredential.fromStream(is).createScoped(scopes);
Taskqueue taskQueue = new Taskqueue.Builder(httpTransport, JSON_FACTORY, credential).setApplicationName(APPLICATION_NAME).build();
Taskqueue.Taskqueues.Get request = taskQueue.taskqueues().get(projectId, taskQueueName);
request.setGetStats(true);
//Get the queue!
TaskQueue queue = request.execute();

Did you configure email address in your queue configuration in queue.xml?
<queue>
<name>pull-queuqueue</name>
<mode>pull</mode>
<rate>10/s</rate>
<acl>
<user-email>xyz#gmail.com</user-email>
</acl>
</queue>

How to list subscriptions with Microsoft.Azure.ResourceManager?

Context
My core goal is to write an Azure WebApps deployment tool in C#. The process will be roughly
User logs in
User selects subscription
User selects or creates resource group
User selects or creates storage for the web app
User selects or creates web service plan
User selects or creates web app
Tool uploads the web app using Kudu to POST a zip
Since the last step can't be done in the portal, my idea was to do everything in a GUI tool.
I started out using Kudu's ARMClient.Authentication and Microsoft.Azure.ResourceManager 1.0.0-preview. However, when it comes to creating a storage account I get a permissions error (The subscription is not registered to use namespace Microsoft.Storage), so my plan B was to do the authentication myself following Brady Gaster's blog post.
The problem
I've set up an application as documented, and using its clientId and tenantId I'm able to log in and list tenants. But I can't list any subscriptions. (NB I've partly elided the clientId and tenantId in case there are security risks with giving them in full).
string clientId = "f62903b9-ELIDED";
string tenantId = "47b6e6c3-ELIDED";
const string redirectUri = "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob";
const string baseAuthUri = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/";
const string resource = "https://management.core.windows.net/";
var ctx = new AuthenticationContext(baseAuthUri + tenantId);
var authResult = ctx.AcquireToken(resource, clientId, new Uri(redirectUri), PromptBehavior.Auto);
var token = new TokenCredentials(authResult.AccessToken);
var subClient = new SubscriptionClient(token);
var tenants = await subClient.Tenants.ListAsync();
foreach (var tenant in tenants) Console.WriteLine(tenant.TenantId);
var subs = await subClient.Subscriptions.ListAsync();
foreach (var sub in subs) Console.WriteLine(sub.DisplayName);
When I run this it prompts me to login, and lists the tenants corresponding to the subscriptions I own or co-administer. But it doesn't list a single subscription. If I change the IDs to the commonly used (I think officially for Powershell) values
clientId = "1950a258-227b-4e31-a9cf-717495945fc2";
tenantId = "common";
then it's the same.
What is the step I've missed in order to get a list of my subscriptions?
You need to iterate through the tenants, authenticate in tenant and get a subscription list for every tenant.
The following code will output the Subscriptions like Get-AzureRmSubscription powershell cmdlet does.
class Program
{
private static string m_resource = "https://management.core.windows.net/";
private static string m_clientId = "1950a258-227b-4e31-a9cf-717495945fc2"; // well-known client ID for Azure PowerShell
private static string m_redirectURI = "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob"; // redirect URI for Azure PowerShell
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
var ctx = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.microsoftonline.com/common");
// This will show the login window
var mainAuthRes = ctx.AcquireToken(m_resource, m_clientId, new Uri(m_redirectURI), PromptBehavior.Always);
var subscriptionCredentials = new TokenCloudCredentials(mainAuthRes.AccessToken);
var cancelToken = new CancellationToken();
using (var subscriptionClient = new SubscriptionClient(subscriptionCredentials))
{
var tenants = subscriptionClient.Tenants.ListAsync(cancelToken).Result;
foreach (var tenantDescription in tenants.TenantIds)
{
var tenantCtx = new AuthenticationContext("https://login.microsoftonline.com/" + tenantDescription.TenantId);
// This will NOT show the login window
var tenantAuthRes = tenantCtx.AcquireToken(
m_resource,
m_clientId,
new Uri(m_redirectURI),
PromptBehavior.Never,
new UserIdentifier(mainAuthRes.UserInfo.DisplayableId, UserIdentifierType.RequiredDisplayableId));
var tenantTokenCreds = new TokenCloudCredentials(tenantAuthRes.AccessToken);
using (var tenantSubscriptionClient = new SubscriptionClient(tenantTokenCreds))
{
var tenantSubscriptioins = tenantSubscriptionClient.Subscriptions.ListAsync(cancelToken).Result;
foreach (var sub in tenantSubscriptioins.Subscriptions)
{
Console.WriteLine($"SubscriptionName : {sub.DisplayName}");
Console.WriteLine($"SubscriptionId : {sub.SubscriptionId}");
Console.WriteLine($"TenantId : {tenantDescription.TenantId}");
Console.WriteLine($"State : {sub.State}");
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
finally
{
Console.WriteLine("press something");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
A couple things you can look into...
1) the error you saw during creating of the storage account is likely due to the Resource Provider not being registered for use with the subscription. Any RP needs to be registered before use, some clients (Portal, PowerShell) will register the RP for you so you never notice it. See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn790548.aspx - you should be able to do that from your code if the user has sufficient perms.
2) You may not be getting any subscriptions back because your endpoint (management.core.windows.net) is the endpoint for Azure Service Management not Azure Resource Manager (management.azure.com). If the subscription access is granted via AzureRM and RBAC, the old ASM apis will not see (i.e. have access to) those subscriptions.

Why do I get ClassCastException using HttpURLConnection in AppEngine?

I try to call an external web service (not mine) from my GWT application working with App Engine.
I know it's impossible to do it from the client due to the SOP (Same Origin Policy) and RequestBuilder is not a solution on the server. I followed the tutorial on the web site and using java.net as well
Here is the client
AsyncCallback<CustomObject> callback = new AsyncCallback<CustomObjectCustomObject>() {
#Override
public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
caught.printStackTrace();
}
#Override
public void onSuccess(CustomObject result) {
// code omitted
}
};
service.callMethod(aString, callback);
And this is the server
try {
String xmlRequest = "xmlToSend";
URL url = new URL("https://www.externalWebService.com");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/soap+xml");
conn.setRequestProperty( "Content-length", Integer.toString(xmlRequest.length()));
conn.setRequestProperty("charset", "utf-8");
conn.setConnectTimeout(10000);
OutputStream rawOutStream = conn.getOutputStream();
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(rawOutStream);
pw.print(xmlRequest);
pw.flush();
pw.close();
if(conn.getResponseCode() != 200){
// Something...
}
I keep having the same error at conn.getResponseCode() :
java.lang.ClassCastException: com.google.appengine.repackaged.org.apache.http.message.BasicHttpRequest cannot be cast to com.google.appengine.repackaged.org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpUriRequest
Without making a real request, the remote service works well : it's able to serialize and return objects to the client. The issue is not linked to the communication between the client and the server, it's more like AppEngine doesn't support HttpURLConnection. But it should on the server (isn't it?)
Any thoughts would be hightly appreciated! Thanks in advance
Your problem has nothing to do with GWT: as long as you are running on the server, you can use any 'normal' Java and it will work unless AppEngine has restrictions.
It seems you have imported the repackaged version of Apache HttpClient in your class. You should not do that: download your own HttpClient .jar, add it to the dependencies and use that one.
AppEngine also has some issues with HttpClient. There's an adapter available here that fixes most of the issues.
Thanks #Marcelo, you were right!
Here is the solution I found.
I added httpcore.jar and httpclient.jar to my build path and wrote the code below for the server (the client is the same) :
String xmlRequest = "xmlToSend";
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom().build();
//RequestConfig requestConfig = RequestConfig.custom()
// .setConnectionRequestTimeout(10000)
// .build();
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(out);
writer.write(xmlToSend);
writer.flush();
writer.close();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("https://www.externalWebService.com/path");
request.setEntity(new ByteArrayEntity(out.toByteArray()));
//request.setConfig(requestConfig);
CloseableHttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(request);
if(response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200){
// retrieve content with a BufferReader
// from response.getEntity().getContent()
...
}
The code works and is up to date.
Edit
Here is the rest of the solution when using a proxy. Mine only deals with NTCredentials but otherwise UsernamePasswordCredentials can be used instead.
HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("addresse.proxy.com", port);
CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credsProvider.setCredentials(
new AuthScope(proxy),
new NTCredentials(System.getProperty("user.name") + ":" + password));
RequestConfig requestConfig = RequestConfig.custom()
.setProxy(proxy)
.build();
CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.custom()
.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider)
.setDefaultRequestConfig(requestConfig)
.build();
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciated!

Sending message to ActiveMQ embedded broker hangs

I want to mock out my activemq instance in my unit tests. So I set up the queue as so:
camelContext = new DefaultCamelContext();
camelContext.setErrorHandlerBuilder(new LoggingErrorHandlerBuilder());
camelContext.getShutdownStrategy().setTimeout(SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT_SECONDS);
routePolicy = new RoutePolicy();
routePolicy.setCamelContext(camelContext);
ActiveMQConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory();
connectionFactory.setBrokerURL("vm:localhost");
// use a pooled connection factory between the module and the queue
pooledConnectionFactory = new PooledConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
// how many connections should there be in the session pool?
pooledConnectionFactory.setMaxConnections(this.maxConnections);
pooledConnectionFactory.setMaximumActiveSessionPerConnection(this.maxActiveSessionPerConnection);
pooledConnectionFactory.setCreateConnectionOnStartup(true);
pooledConnectionFactory.setBlockIfSessionPoolIsFull(false);
JmsConfiguration jmsConfiguration = new JmsConfiguration(pooledConnectionFactory);
jmsConfiguration.setDeliveryPersistent(false);
ActiveMQComponent activeMQComponent = ActiveMQComponent.activeMQComponent("vm:localhost");
However, when I send a message to the queue like this:
producerTemplate.sendBody(uri, message);
the process hangs at
FailoverTransport.oneway:600
Any idea what I could be doing wrong using the embedded broker? This all works fine when connecting to a tcp endpoint.
You need to change the URL to vm://localhost (or even vm://localhost?broker.persistent=false which is common in unit tests to avoid temp data on disk).

How to use REST API for sending messages to Azure Notification Hub from Java/GAE

I have successfully implemented calling GAE -> Azure Mobile Services -> Azure Notification HUB.
But I want to skip the Mobile Services step and call the notification HUB directly and I can't figure out how to send the authorization token. The returned error is:
Returned response: <Error><Code>401</Code><Detail>MissingAudience: The provided token does not
specify the 'Audience'..TrackingId:6a9a452d-c3bf-4fed-b0b0-975210f7a13c_G14,TimeStamp:11/26/2013 12:47:40 PM</Detail></Error>
Here is my code:
URL url = new URL("https://myapp-ns.servicebus.windows.net/myhubbie/messages/?api-version=2013-08");
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setConnectTimeout(60000);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization","WRAP access_token=\"mytoken_taken_from_azure_portal=\"");
connection.setRequestProperty("ServiceBusNotification-Tags", tag);
byte[] notificationMessage = new byte[0];
try
{
notificationMessage = json.getBytes("UTF-8");
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
log.warning("Error encoding toast message to UTF8! Error=" + e.getMessage());
}
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(notificationMessage.length));
OutputStream ostream = connection.getOutputStream();
ostream.write(notificationMessage);
ostream.flush();
ostream.close();
int responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
The authorization header has to contain a token specially crafted for each individual request. The data you are using is the key you have to use to generate such a token.
Please follow the instructions on : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn495627.aspx to create a token for your requests.
Final note, if you are using Java, you can use the code in this public repo https://github.com/fsautomata/notificationhubs-rest-java. It contains a fully functional REST wrapper for Notification Hubs. It is not Microsoft official but works and implements the above specs.

In domain cPanel the company defined for me the next scopes:

https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.circles.write
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.media.upload
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.read
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.write
My scope definition is:
private static final List<String> SCOPE = Arrays.asList(
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.circles.read",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.circles.write",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.media.upload",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.read",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.write");
I'm a bit lost here , is there any way of debug this problem or know why is this access denied?
There are several things that you should check.
First, is the private key file that you downloaded from the Google APIs Console in the correct path with your code? This file is referenced by the following variable. This needs to tell the OAuth client library where to find the file.
private static final String SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PKCS12_FILE_PATH =
"/path/to/<public_key_fingerprint>-privatekey.p12";
It is very important that you do not rename the file.
Second, does your scope list in your code match the list of scopes set in the Admin console?
The configuration in the Admin console for your Google Apps domain, and the scopes provided in the request must be identical. Try adjusting the SCOPE variable in your code to be:
private static final List<String> SCOPE = Arrays.asList(
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.me",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.circles.read",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.circles.write",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.media.upload",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.read",
"https://www.googleapis.com/auth/plus.stream.write");
In general, it is best to only request the scopes that you will need, rather than all scopes available.
Third, make sure that the client ID you generated is the one listed on the Admin console entry that specifies the scopes permitted.
