java-systemd

Java access to systemd via D-Bus. Java D-Bus bindings (dbus-java) are required.

This library shall:

  • Provide Java access to systemd interfaces via D-Bus (Manager, Unit, Service, Target, etc.)
  • Provide adapters for the internals of the dbus-java API in order to
    • ease the access to systemds methods and properties
    • omit automatic (and low-performance) reflection stuff being done in dbus-java
    • provide observer-like patterns for objects along D-Bus signalling

Versions

There are two major versions available on the central repository:

  • 2.x (depends on dbus-java version 3)
    • 2.1.x and later deploy this library as a Java module in the JPMS
  • 1.x (depends on dbus-java version 2)

Usage

Documentation and instructions how to use this library can be found in the Wiki.

Testing

Unit tests are based on TestNG and Mockito. Test methods which require a deployed systemd environment are grouped in TestNG group "requireSystemd". There are two TestNG suites available:

  • src/test/resources/suites/auto-systemd.xml (executes all tests)
  • src/test/resources/suites/auto.xml (excludes group "requireSystemd")

Contributions

  • Thanks to brett-smith for initial migration work to support dbus-java version 3 and for JPMS support.

Disclaimer

These are no "official" Java bindings for systemd via D-Bus. I only work on it if the following requisites are met:

  • The kids are sleeping
  • My wife is hacking on medical research
  • No beers in the fridge
