# GuicedEE Web
Reactive HTTP/HTTPS server bootstrap for GuicedEE applications using Vert.x 5.
## Core Concept
Provides the `Router`, `HttpServer`, and `BodyHandler` plumbing that higher-level modules (`rest`, `websockets`, etc.) build on top of. Configuration is environment-driven; extension is SPI-driven. The server starts automatically via `IGuicePostStartup`.
## Required Flow
1. Add `com.guicedee:web` dependency.
2. Bootstrap GuicedEE — the web server starts automatically:
```java
IGuiceContext.registerModuleForScanning.add("my.app");
IGuiceContext.instance().inject();
// HTTP server is now listening on port 8080 (default)
```
3. Add routes by implementing `VertxRouterConfigurator`:
```java
public class MyRoutes implements VertxRouterConfigurator<MyRoutes> {
@Override
public Router builder(Router router) {
router.get("/health").handler(ctx -> ctx.response().end("OK"));
return router;
}
@Override
public Integer sortOrder() { return 500; }
}
```
4. Register via JPMS:
```java
module my.app {
requires com.guicedee.vertx.web;
provides com.guicedee.vertx.web.spi.VertxRouterConfigurator
with my.app.MyRoutes;
}
```
## SPI Extension Points
All SPIs are discovered via `ServiceLoader`. Register with JPMS `provides...with` or `META-INF/services`.
| SPI | When it runs | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `VertxHttpServerOptionsConfigurator` | Before servers created | Customize `HttpServerOptions` (ports, TLS, compression) |
| `VertxHttpServerConfigurator` | After server creation | Configure `HttpServer` instance (WebSocket upgrade, connection hooks) |
| `VertxRouterConfigurator` | After body handler | Add routes, middleware, handlers to the `Router` |
## Configuration
All configuration is driven by system properties or environment variables:
| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `HTTP_ENABLED` | `true` | Enable HTTP server |
| `HTTP_PORT` | `8080` | HTTP listen port |
| `HTTPS_ENABLED` | `false` | Enable HTTPS server |
| `HTTPS_PORT` | `443` | HTTPS listen port |
| `HTTPS_KEYSTORE` | — | Path to JKS or PKCS#12 keystore |
| `HTTPS_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD` | — | Keystore password |
| `VERTX_MAX_BODY_SIZE` | `524288000` (500 MB) | Maximum request body size |
## TLS/HTTPS
Keystore format is auto-detected by file extension:
- `.jks` → JKS
- `.pfx`, `.p12`, `.p8` → PKCS#12
## Startup Flow
```
IGuiceContext.instance().inject()
└─ IGuicePostStartup hooks
└─ VertxWebServerPostStartup (sortOrder = MIN_VALUE + 500)
├─ Build HttpServerOptions (compression, keepalive, header limits)
├─ Apply VertxHttpServerOptionsConfigurator SPIs
├─ Create HTTP / HTTPS servers
├─ Apply VertxHttpServerConfigurator SPIs
├─ Create Router + BodyHandler
├─ Apply VertxRouterConfigurator SPIs (sorted)
├─ Mount per-verticle sub-routers
├─ Configure Jackson ObjectMapper via IJsonRepresentation
└─ server.listen()
```
## Non-Negotiable Constraints
- Never create `HttpServer` manually — use the auto-started server from `VertxWebServerPostStartup`.
- Module must `requires com.guicedee.vertx.web;`.
- SPI implementations must be dual-registered (`module-info.java` + `META-INF/services/`).
- `VertxRouterConfigurator` implementations control ordering via `sortOrder()`.Related Skills
