## Posterer's Origins ##
It's handy to have an app that you can use to fire off HTTP transactions at services - Like a web browser for example. But browsers are driven by HTML, and for testing Web Services (i.e. SOAP) you need finer grain control. On Firefox, there is the _Poster_ plug-in. I've used this a lot and it's been very useful.
As the number and the authentication and authorization requirements for hitting web services increase, _Poster_ is showing it's age. I need more power at my finger tips, so I am writing a poster-er. And here it is. _Posterer_.
Some feature:
* Store end-points and payloads
* Asynchronous requests
* Proxy control
* Call statistics
* Full headers
* Crypto controls
## Installation ##
_Posterer_ version 1.0.* required _JavaFX 8_ , and therefore _Java 8_ .
_Posterer_ version 1.1.* required _OpenJFX 11_ , and therefore _OpenJDK 11_ .
Java 8 vs 11 includes the move to _Modules_ that requires extra configuration to get _OpenJFX_ modules into play. Consider the following JVM arguments:
--module-path=/usr/share/openjfx/lib/ --add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH
To create an executable binary jar, use `mvn package` .
To execute the jar:
```
java --module-path=/usr/share/openjfx/lib/ --add-modules=ALL-MODULE-PATH -jar posterer-assembly-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar
```
## Design Decisions ##
Given that there are many options to provide the HTTP transport framework (and perhaps other network protocols and transports), Google _Guice_ was chosen to provide lightweight IOC to minimize linkage. Initially, _Posterer_ comes with _Apache HTTP client_.
