Accessing from Java?

[jason53]

I am interested in using this library but my application is written in Java. Is there a Java version of this library? Is JNI my only choice? I realize this project offers a HTTP server but that option doesn't make sense with our architecture. Thank you.

Yea JNI is your only choice (that I know of) to call the native methods. A while ago I was trying out Go's JNI support and got it partially working. Do you know of a better option?

[jason53]

Great to hear that you would support JNI access but to be clear I was asking if a pure Java library is on the roadmap.

Our information security department is typically very strict so I am anticipating them saying that network constraints are not enough and that the endpoints should require authentication.

[adamdecaf]

We can't support a Java port at this time. Moov is 100% Go so there's not a lot of space for other languages.

Do you know what auth methods they'd be looking for?

[jason53]

I understand the issue w/ supporting Java but thought I would ask.

For Auth method I would say a oAuth2 token based authentication ideally. At a minimum it would support Basic auth.

Have you found out more if this is required? It's more of a lift to add in the ACH server.

[jason53]

yes, it is required but we understand the effort involved to adding this functionality. i think if we were to use moov-io/ach our integration preference would first be direct invocation w/ JNI and our second choice would be using the ACH server. if we were to use the ACH server and it did not have any authentication built-in we would put something in front of it (either something we build or existing infrastructure appliance) that would require authentication. hope that answers your question.

We're working on a JNI interop package #1380

Great! Thank you for your efforts!
