Your client, The Gaming Room, currently has a game application, Draw It or Lose It, that was created for Android systems. They would like to expand it to other operating platforms. To do so, you have been asked to create a simulated environment that demonstrates prototypes to present multiple platform options to your client.

In this assignment, you will develop components of an application so it may be deployed on various operating platforms using the client-server architectural pattern. You will use Basic Authentication to build a username and password login interface by modifying the provided tutorial code. Primarily, you will be working on the server-side component of the application to gain experience with developing using a REST Application Programming Interface (API).

Effective interfaces and security features are important to your client, so you will need to address this in your prototype. While Basic Authentication is not the most robust and secure mechanism, it will take you through all the steps of preparing your application to incorporate security and thus be protected against unauthorized access. Later, you can replace the specific authentication mechanism with a more robust version and your application will be ready to support that.

Prompt
Review the Dropwizard BasicAuth Security Example and the Dropwizard Jersey/HTTP Configuration and Examples page to support your development of the code. These examples build on the beginner “Hello World” example by showing how to add basic authentication to your RESTful API.

Begin by importing the gameauth.zip file into Eclipse as a new Maven project. If you have not already practiced using Maven, be sure to follow the instructions in the Dropwizard Hello World Tutorial.

To view the specific tasks you have been assigned, navigate in your Eclipse project to the Window, then Show View, then Tasks view. You can double-click on any of the tasks to be directed to the line of code where the task that needs to be completed is located. Specifically, review and complete all assigned tasks outlined below as indicated in the FIXME comments within the various Java files. A text version of this image is available: FIXME Text Version.

User Interface: Write code to create the user interface for entering data for user authentication and securing REST APIs with the proper annotation. To do this, you must complete the following tasks in the GameAuthApplication.java file based on the BasicAuth Security Example:
Register the GameUserREST Controller.
Create a JerseyClientBuilder instance named “DemoRESTClient”.
