Attempt to implement something like the proposal at http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/HTTP_API.

SQL Generation is implemented using jOOQ and will adapt to its supported RDBMS dialects.

Tested with the following RDBMSes:

• H2 1.4.181
• PostgreSQL 9.3
• HSQLDB 2.3.2

The API is discoverable which means you can access the root resource at / and follow links to subresources from there but lets say you have a database named testdb with a table named testtable in the public schema you can then do the following operations:

Retrieve (GET), update (PUT) or delete (DELETE) a single row at:
/db/testdb/schemas/public/tables/testtable/rows/1

Retrieve (GET), update (PUT) rows or create a new row (POST) at:
/db/testdb/schemas/public/tables/testtable/rows

The above resources accepts parameters select, where, limit, offset and orderby where applicable. Examples:

GET a maximum of 10 rows where cost>100 at:
/db/testdb/schemas/public/tables/testtable/rows?where=cost>100&limit=10

The default and currently the only dataformat is JSON. POSTing or PUTing expects a JSON object with properties corresponding to column names.

By default jdbc-http-server will try to find a DataSource from a JDNI Resource named jdbc/db. The name can be overriden with system property jdbc-http-server.jdni.

Alternatively, you can also provide a file named hikari.properties in classpath. See further documentation for HikariCP.

The default logging level is INFO. Refer to Logback for further configuration options.

• Configurable on/off switch for select and where support (as they can be considered a security risk)
• Configurable on/off switch for update and deletes
• Complex where clause parsing
• Optional raw SQL support
• Spatial support
• Security configuration allowing partial db access (similar to a firewall)
