Current release (on Maven central): 0.9.2

The official Peppol Directory (PD; https://directory.peppol.eu) and TOOP Directory software (The Once-Only Project; www.toop.eu). It is split into the following sub-projects (all require Java 8 except where noted):

  • phoss-directory-businesscard - the common Business Card API

  • phoss-directory-indexer - the PD indexer part

  • phoss-directory-publisher - the PD publisher web application

  • phoss-directory-client - a client library to be added to SMP servers to force indexing in the PD

  • phoss-directory-searchapi - a client library for easier use of the Directory search REST API (since v0.7.2)

  • Production version is available at https://directory.peppol.eu (for PEPPOL)

    • It can only handle participants registered at the SML
    • For the indexing REST API, a client certificate (SMP production) is needed
  • Test version is available at https://test-directory.peppol.eu

    • It can only handle participants registered at the SMK
    • For the indexing REST API, a client certificate (SMP test) is needed
  • A TOOP version is available at http://directory.acc.exchange.toop.eu/

    • It can only handle participants registered at the SMK at a specific DNS zone
    • For the indexing REST API, no client certificate is needed
  • A Java library to be used in SMPs to communicate with the PD is available

  • phoss SMP Server supports starting with version 4.1.2 the graphical editing of Business Card incl. the necessary /businesscard API.

Building requirements

To build the PD software you need at least Java 1.8 and Apache Maven 3.x. Configuration for usage with Eclipse Neon and Oxygen is contained in the repository.

Additionally to the contained projects you MAY need the latest SNAPSHOT of ph-oton as part of your build environment.

PD Client

The PD client is a small Java library that uses Apache HttpClient to connect to an arbitrary phoss Directory Indexer to perform all the allowed operations (get, create/update, delete).

Configuration resolution

Note: this is new in v0.9.0.

The PD client uses the file application.properties for configuration. The file pd-client.properties is also evaluated for backwards-compatibility reasons but with lower priority.

See https://github.com/phax/ph-commons#ph-config for the new resolution logic.

Configuration file resolution (prior to 0.9.0)

The client has its own configuration file that is resolved from one of the following locations (whatever is found first):

  • A path denoted by the content of the Java system property peppol.pd.client.properties.path
  • A path denoted by the content of the Java system property pd.client.properties.path
  • An environment variable called DIRECTORY_CLIENT_CONFIG (since 0.8.4)
  • A file with the filename private-pd-client.properties in the root of the classpath
  • A file with the filename pd-client.properties in the root of the classpath

If no configuration file is found a warning is emitted and you cannot invoke any operations because the certificate configuration is missing.

Configuration properties

The following options are supported in the pd-client.properties file:

  • keystore.type (since v0.6.0) - the type of the keystore. Can be JKS or PKCS12 (case insensitive). Defaults to JKS.
  • keystore.path - the path to the keystore where the SMP certificate is contained
  • keystore.password - the password to open the key store
  • keystore.key.alias - the alias in the key store that denotes the SMP key
  • keystore.key.password - the password to open the key in the key store
  • truststore.type (since v0.6.0) - the type of the keystore. Can be JKS or PKCS12 (case insensitive). Defaults to JKS.
  • truststore.path (since v0.5.1) - the path to the trust store, where the public certificates of the phoss Directory servers are contained. Defaults to truststore/pd-client.truststore.jks
  • truststore.password (since v0.5.1) - the password to open the truststore store. Defaults to peppol
  • http.proxyHost - the HTTP proxy host for http connections only. No default.
  • http.proxyPort - the HTTP proxy port for http connections only. No default.
  • https.proxyHost - the HTTP proxy host for https connections only. No default.
  • https.proxyPort - the HTTP proxy port for https connections only. No default.
  • https.hostname-verification.disabled (since v0.5.1) - a boolean value to indicate if https hostname verification should be disabled (true) or enabled (false). The default value is true.
  • proxy.username (since v0.6.0) - the proxy username if http or https proxy is enabled. No default.
  • proxy.password (since v0.6.0) - the proxy password if http or https proxy is enabled. No default.
  • connect.timeout.ms (since v0.6.0) - the connection timeout in milliseconds to connect to the server. The default value is 5000 (5 seconds). A value of 0 means indefinite. A value of -1 means using the system default.
  • request.timeout.ms (since v0.6.0) - the request/read/socket timeout in milliseconds to read from the server. The default value is 10000 (10 seconds). A value of 0 means indefinite. A value of -1 means using the system default.

Example PD client configuration file:

# Key store with SMP key (required)
keystore.type         = jks
keystore.path         = smp.pilot.jks
keystore.password     = password
keystore.key.alias    = smp.pilot
keystore.key.password = password

# Default trust store (optional)
truststore.type     = jks
truststore.path     = truststore/pd-client.truststore.jks
truststore.password = peppol

# TLS settings
https.hostname-verification.disabled = false

PD Indexer

The PD Indexer is a REST component that is responsible for taking indexing requests from SMPs and processes them in a queue (PEPPOL SMP client certificate required). Only the PEPPOL participant identifiers are taken and the PD Indexer is responsible for querying the respective SMP data directly. Therefore the respective SMP must have the appropriate Extension element of the service group filled with the business information metadata as required by PD. Please see the PD specification for a detailed description of the required data format as well as for the REST interface.

PD Publisher

The PD Publisher is the publicly accessible web site with listing and search functionality for certain participants.
