%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Java - Send DataChannel %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% This tutorial connects a player with a QR code detection filter and sends output to WebRTC. Code detection events are sent to browser using WebRTC datachannels. .. note:: Web browsers require using *HTTPS* to enable WebRTC, so the web server must use SSL and a certificate file. For instructions, check :ref:`features-security-java-https`. For convenience, this tutorial already provides dummy self-signed certificates (which will cause a security warning in the browser). For the impatient: running this example ======================================= You need to have installed the Kurento Media Server before running this example. Read the :doc:`installation guide ` for further information. To launch the application, you need to clone the GitHub project where this demo is hosted, and then run the main class: .. sourcecode:: bash git clone https://github.com/Kurento/kurento.git cd kurento/tutorials/java/datachannel-send-qr/ git checkout main mvn -U clean spring-boot:run Access the application connecting to the URL https://localhost:8443/ in a WebRTC capable browser (Chrome, Firefox). .. note:: These instructions work only if Kurento Media Server is up and running in the same machine as the tutorial. However, it is possible to connect to a remote KMS in other machine, simply adding the flag ``kms.url`` to the JVM executing the demo. As we'll be using maven, you should execute the following command .. sourcecode:: bash mvn -U clean spring-boot:run \ -Dspring-boot.run.jvmArguments="-Dkms.url=ws://{KMS_HOST}:8888/kurento" .. note:: This demo needs the kurento-module-datachannelexample module installed in the media server. That module is available in the Kurento repositories, so it is possible to install it with: .. sourcecode:: bash sudo apt-get install kurento-module-datachannelexample Understanding this example ========================== To implement this behavior we have to create a `Media Pipeline`:term: composed by one **PlayerEndpoint**, one **KmsSendData** and one **WebRtcEndpoint**. The **PlayerEnpdoint** plays a video and it detects QR codes into the images. The info about detected codes is sent through data channels (**KmsSendData**) from the Kurento media server to the browser (**WebRtcEndpoint**). The browser shows the info in a text form. This is a web application, and therefore it follows a client-server architecture. At the client-side, the logic is implemented in **JavaScript**. At the server-side, we use a Spring-Boot based application server consuming the **Kurento Java Client** API, to control **Kurento Media Server** capabilities. All in all, the high level architecture of this demo is three-tier. To communicate these entities, two WebSockets are used. First, a WebSocket is created between client and application server to implement a custom signaling protocol. Second, another WebSocket is used to perform the communication between the Kurento Java Client and the Kurento Media Server. This communication takes place using the **Kurento Protocol**. For further information on it, please see this :doc:`page ` of the documentation. The following sections analyze in depth the server (Java) and client-side (JavaScript) code of this application. The complete source code can be found in `GitHub `_. Application Server Logic ======================== This demo has been developed using **Java** in the server-side, based on the `Spring Boot`:term: framework, which embeds a Tomcat web server within the generated maven artifact, and thus simplifies the development and deployment process. .. note:: You can use whatever Java server side technology you prefer to build web applications with Kurento. For example, a pure Java EE application, SIP Servlets, Play, Vert.x, etc. Here we chose Spring Boot for convenience. .. digraph:: SendDataChannel :caption: Server-side class diagram of the SendDataChannel app size="12,8"; fontname = "Bitstream Vera Sans" fontsize = 8 node [ fontname = "Bitstream Vera Sans" fontsize = 8 shape = "rect" style=filled fillcolor = "#E7F2FA" ] edge [ fontname = "Bitstream Vera Sans" fontsize = 8 arrowhead = "vee" ] SendDataChannelApp -> SendDataChannelHandler; SendDataChannelApp -> KurentoClient; SendDataChannelHandler -> KurentoClient [constraint = false] SendDataChannelHandler -> UserSession; The main class of this demo is `SendDataChannelApp `_. As you can see, the *KurentoClient* is instantiated in this class as a Spring Bean. This bean is used to create **Kurento Media Pipelines**, which are used to add media capabilities to the application. In this instantiation we see that we need to specify to the client library the location of the Kurento Media Server. In this example, we assume it is located at *localhost* listening in port TCP 8888. If you reproduce this example you'll need to insert the specific location of your Kurento Media Server instance there. Once the *Kurento Client* has been instantiated, you are ready for communicating with Kurento Media Server and controlling its multimedia capabilities. .. sourcecode:: java @EnableWebSocket @SpringBootApplication public class SendDataChannelApp implements WebSocketConfigurer { static final String DEFAULT_APP_SERVER_URL = "https://localhost:8443"; @Bean public SendDataChannelHandler handler() { return new SendDataChannelHandler(); } @Bean public KurentoClient kurentoClient() { return KurentoClient.create(); } @Override public void registerWebSocketHandlers(WebSocketHandlerRegistry registry) { registry.addHandler(handler(), "/senddatachannel"); } public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { new SpringApplication(SendDataChannelApp.class).run(args); } } This web application follows a *Single Page Application* architecture (`SPA`:term:), and uses a `WebSocket`:term: to communicate client with application server by means of requests and responses. Specifically, the main app class implements the interface ``WebSocketConfigurer`` to register a ``WebSocketHandler`` to process WebSocket requests in the path ``/senddatachannel``. `SendDataChannelHandler `_ class implements ``TextWebSocketHandler`` to handle text WebSocket requests. The central piece of this class is the method ``handleTextMessage``. This method implements the actions for requests, returning responses through the WebSocket. In other words, it implements the server part of the signaling protocol depicted in the previous sequence diagram. In the designed protocol there are three different kinds of incoming messages to the *Server* : ``start``, ``stop`` and ``onIceCandidates``. These messages are treated in the *switch* clause, taking the proper steps in each case. .. sourcecode:: java public class SendDataChannelHandler extends TextWebSocketHandler { private final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SendDataChannelHandler.class); private static final Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create(); private final ConcurrentHashMap users = new ConcurrentHashMap<>(); @Autowired private KurentoClient kurento; @Override public void handleTextMessage(WebSocketSession session, TextMessage message) throws Exception { JsonObject jsonMessage = gson.fromJson(message.getPayload(), JsonObject.class); log.debug("Incoming message: {}", jsonMessage); switch (jsonMessage.get("id").getAsString()) { case "start": start(session, jsonMessage); break; case "stop": { UserSession user = users.remove(session.getId()); if (user != null) { user.release(); } break; } case "onIceCandidate": { JsonObject jsonCandidate = jsonMessage.get("candidate").getAsJsonObject(); UserSession user = users.get(session.getId()); if (user != null) { IceCandidate candidate = new IceCandidate(jsonCandidate.get("candidate").getAsString(), jsonCandidate.get("sdpMid").getAsString(), jsonCandidate.get("sdpMLineIndex").getAsInt()); user.addCandidate(candidate); } break; } default: sendError(session, "Invalid message with id " + jsonMessage.get("id").getAsString()); break; } } private void start(final WebSocketSession session, JsonObject jsonMessage) { ... } private void sendError(WebSocketSession session, String message) { ... } } In the following snippet, we can see the ``start`` method. It handles the ICE candidates gathering, creates a Media Pipeline, creates the Media Elements (``WebRtcEndpoint``, ``KmsSendData`` and ``PlayerEndpoint``) and make the connections among them. A ``startResponse`` message is sent back to the client with the SDP answer. .. sourcecode:: java private void start(final WebSocketSession session, JsonObject jsonMessage) { try { // User session UserSession user = new UserSession(); MediaPipeline pipeline = kurento.createMediaPipeline(); user.setMediaPipeline(pipeline); WebRtcEndpoint webRtcEndpoint = new WebRtcEndpoint.Builder(pipeline).useDataChannels() .build(); user.setWebRtcEndpoint(webRtcEndpoint); PlayerEndpoint player = new PlayerEndpoint.Builder(pipeline, "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kurento/test-files/main/video/filter/barcodes.webm").build(); user.setPlayer(player); users.put(session.getId(), user); // ICE candidates webRtcEndpoint.addIceCandidateFoundListener(new EventListener() { @Override public void onEvent(IceCandidateFoundEvent event) { JsonObject response = new JsonObject(); response.addProperty("id", "iceCandidate"); response.add("candidate", JsonUtils.toJsonObject(event.getCandidate())); try { synchronized (session) { session.sendMessage(new TextMessage(response.toString())); } } catch (IOException e) { log.debug(e.getMessage()); } } }); // Media logic KmsSendData kmsSendData = new KmsSendData.Builder(pipeline).build(); player.connect(kmsSendData); kmsSendData.connect(webRtcEndpoint); // SDP negotiation (offer and answer) String sdpOffer = jsonMessage.get("sdpOffer").getAsString(); String sdpAnswer = webRtcEndpoint.processOffer(sdpOffer); JsonObject response = new JsonObject(); response.addProperty("id", "startResponse"); response.addProperty("sdpAnswer", sdpAnswer); synchronized (session) { session.sendMessage(new TextMessage(response.toString())); } webRtcEndpoint.gatherCandidates(); player.play(); } catch (Throwable t) { sendError(session, t.getMessage()); } } The ``sendError`` method is quite simple: it sends an ``error`` message to the client when an exception is caught in the server-side. .. sourcecode:: java private void sendError(WebSocketSession session, String message) { try { JsonObject response = new JsonObject(); response.addProperty("id", "error"); response.addProperty("message", message); session.sendMessage(new TextMessage(response.toString())); } catch (IOException e) { log.error("Exception sending message", e); } } Client-Side Logic ================= Let's move now to the client-side of the application. To call the previously created WebSocket service in the server-side, we use the JavaScript class ``WebSocket``. We use a specific Kurento JavaScript library called **kurento-utils.js** to simplify the WebRTC interaction with the server. This library depends on **adapter.js**, which is a JavaScript WebRTC utility maintained by Google that abstracts away browser differences. Finally **jquery.js** is also needed in this application. These libraries are linked in the `index.html `_ web page, and are used in the `index.js `_. In the following snippet we can see the creation of the WebSocket (variable ``ws``) in the path ``/senddatachannel``. Then, the ``onmessage`` listener of the WebSocket is used to implement the JSON signaling protocol in the client-side. Notice that there are three incoming messages to client: ``startResponse``, ``error``, and ``iceCandidate``. Convenient actions are taken to implement each step in the communication. For example, in functions ``start`` the function ``WebRtcPeer.WebRtcPeerSendrecv`` of *kurento-utils.js* is used to start a WebRTC communication. .. sourcecode:: javascript var ws = new WebSocket('wss://' + location.host + '/senddatachannel'); ws.onmessage = function(message) { var parsedMessage = JSON.parse(message.data); console.info('Received message: ' + message.data); switch (parsedMessage.id) { case 'startResponse': startResponse(parsedMessage); break; case 'error': if (state == I_AM_STARTING) { setState(I_CAN_START); } onError("Error message from server: " + parsedMessage.message); break; case 'iceCandidate': webRtcPeer.addIceCandidate(parsedMessage.candidate, function(error) { if (error) { console.error("Error adding candidate: " + error); return; } }); break; default: if (state == I_AM_STARTING) { setState(I_CAN_START); } onError('Unrecognized message', parsedMessage); } } function start() { console.log("Starting video call ...") // Disable start button setState(I_AM_STARTING); showSpinner(videoOutput); var servers = null; var configuration = null; var peerConnection = new RTCPeerConnection(servers, configuration); console.log("Creating channel"); var dataConstraints = null; channel = peerConnection.createDataChannel(getChannelName (), dataConstraints); channel.onmessage = onMessage; var dataChannelReceive = document.getElementById('dataChannelReceive'); function onMessage (event) { console.log("Received data " + event["data"]); dataChannelReceive.value = event["data"]; } console.log("Creating WebRtcPeer and generating local sdp offer ..."); var options = { peerConnection: peerConnection, remoteVideo : videoOutput, onicecandidate : onIceCandidate } webRtcPeer = new kurentoUtils.WebRtcPeer.WebRtcPeerRecvonly(options, function(error) { if (error) { return console.error(error); } webRtcPeer.generateOffer(onOffer); }); } function closeChannels(){ if(channel){ channel.close(); $('#dataChannelSend').disabled = true; $('#send').attr('disabled', true); channel = null; } } function onOffer(error, offerSdp) { if (error) return console.error("Error generating the offer"); console.info('Invoking SDP offer callback function ' + location.host); var message = { id : 'start', sdpOffer : offerSdp } sendMessage(message); } function onError(error) { console.error(error); } function onIceCandidate(candidate) { console.log("Local candidate" + JSON.stringify(candidate)); var message = { id : 'onIceCandidate', candidate : candidate }; sendMessage(message); } function startResponse(message) { setState(I_CAN_STOP); console.log("SDP answer received from server. Processing ..."); webRtcPeer.processAnswer(message.sdpAnswer, function(error) { if (error) return console.error(error); }); } function stop() { console.log("Stopping video call ..."); setState(I_CAN_START); if (webRtcPeer) { closeChannels(); webRtcPeer.dispose(); webRtcPeer = null; var message = { id : 'stop' } sendMessage(message); } hideSpinner(videoOutput); } function sendMessage(message) { var jsonMessage = JSON.stringify(message); console.log('Sending message: ' + jsonMessage); ws.send(jsonMessage); } Dependencies ============ This Java Spring application is implemented using `Maven`:term:. The relevant part of the *pom.xml* is where Kurento dependencies are declared. As the following snippet shows, we need two dependencies: the Kurento Client Java dependency (*kurento-client*) and the JavaScript Kurento utility library (*kurento-utils*) for the client-side. Other client libraries are managed with `webjars `_: .. sourcecode:: xml org.kurento kurento-client org.kurento kurento-utils-js org.webjars webjars-locator org.webjars.bower bootstrap org.webjars.bower demo-console org.webjars.bower adapter.js org.webjars.bower jquery org.webjars.bower ekko-lightbox .. note:: You can find the latest version of Kurento Java Client at `Maven Central `_.
