Johan Andrén 29029be31d !htp #18919 #19519 New JavaDSL for Akka HTTP (#20518)
* !htt #18919 #19519 Align Java HTTP server DSL with Scala

This commits replaces the Java HTTP server DSL with a Java-8 centric one
which exposes all scala DSL concepts to be usable from Java, including
custom directives, (un)marshallers, rejections, headers, and type safety
for path and query parameters.

* Add RequestContext and RouteResult to Java DSL
fix websockets
WIP bring java docs up to date.
This applies some updates to the root-level documentation

* [htp] Fix java documentation to correctly mention timeouts

Timeouts are configured the same in Java and Scala. Hence, linking to the
scala docs for timeouts from Java.

* =htc fix optionalHeaderValueByType in Java

* =htt #20200 fix java testkit always using NoLogging instead logger

* +htt actually run new javadsl tests, allow overriding config

* =htt improve javadsl test infra with more details when fails

* =htt fix bug in wrong path matcher exposed

* +htp add missing remaining path matcher

* =htp Java DSL cookie tests fixed

* =htt Java DSL ParameterDirectivesTest fixed

Protect the tweets from scalariform

Incorrect response expectations in cache condition directives spec fixed

* =htt Path directives for Java DSL

* +!htt PathMatchers rewritten, made uniform and tests passing

* Bugfix in java reject and a little test-boyscouting

* Revert "Incorrect response expectations in cache condition directives spec fixed"

This reverts commit cd50e89d45db010309f8249b090ea654ebb11c7a.

* +htc HttpAPIsTest is compile time only, not for running
Also, moved from the client package since not strictly a client test.

SecurityDirectives passing

Two faulty tests and two actual bugs.

Fix for cache condition spec not working

* Not sending in Unit instad of the implicit magnet in the test
* HeaderMagnet now works as expected
* Java API added for - and + on DateTime

PetStore example and test fixed

* Annotations to make marshalling work without default constructor
* Made model class immutable

Incorrect tests fixed

Some scaladoc boyscouting as bonus

* =htt RequestValTest sprinkled out across multiple directive tests

Client ip extraction test with incorrect header name fixed.

* =htt Incorrect CodingDirectivesTest fixed.

* =htt Bugfix for Java Unmarshaller.firstOf and fixes to JavaRouteTest

* =htt MarshallerTest fixed

* Missing seal signature added to JavaDSL
* More consistent (with Scala) test kit setup for Java
* missing Javadocs added
* Thread.sleep in default exception handler removed

* =htt copy directive docs, prepare for finishing it up

* +htt SecurityDirectives.authorize variants and test coverage added

* +htt Custom headers in Java DSL

* =htt WIP on java docs

* +htp add missing parameterOrDefault directive
Fixed a lot of doc warnings

* =htc intense progress on javadsl docs

* =htc #20470 Link to issue about docs and fix compile error
compile, migration guide
don't mima check http-experimental

* =htt Java DSL doc warnings fixed.
Only `Could not lex literal_block` ones left now

* =htc fix mima settings

* =doc fix MethodDirectives doc test with custom method

* =htc fix coding directives spec after bad merge

* =htc fix concat being corresponding to route() in javadsl

* =htt Disable consistency check for route/concat as it fails only on ci server

* !htt Minor fixes to PathMatchers

Directives
==========
A "Directive" is a small building block used for creating arbitrarily complex :ref:`route structures <Routes>`.
Akka HTTP already pre-defines a large number of directives and you can easily construct your own:
.. toctree::
:maxdepth: 1
alphabetically
by-trait
custom-directives
Basics
------
:ref:`Routes-java` effectively are simply highly specialised functions that take a ``RequestContext`` and eventually ``complete`` it,
which could (and often should) happen asynchronously.
With the :ref:`-complete-java-` directive this becomes even shorter::
Route route = complete("yeah");
Writing multiple routes that are tried as alternatives (in-order of definition), is as simple as using the ``route(route1, route2)``,
method::
Route routes = route(
pathSingleSlash(() ->
getFromResource("web/calculator.html")
),
path("hello", () -> complete("World!))
);
You could also simply define a "catch all" completion by providing it as the last route to attempt to match.
In the example below we use the ``get()`` (one of the :ref:`MethodDirectives-java`) to match all incoming ``GET``
requests for that route, and all other requests will be routed towards the other "catch all" route, that completes the route::
Route route =
get(
() -> complete("Received GET")
).orElse(
() -> complete("Received something else")
)
If no route matches a given request, a default ``404 Not Found`` response will be returned as response.
Structure
---------
The general anatomy of a directive is as follows::
directiveName(arguments [, ...], (extractions [, ...]) -> {
... // inner route
})
It has a name, zero or more arguments and optionally an inner route (The :ref:`RouteDirectives-java` are special in that they
are always used at the leaf-level and as such cannot have inner routes).
Additionally directives can "extract" a number of values and make them available to their inner routes as function
arguments. When seen "from the outside" a directive with its inner route form an expression of type ``Route``.
What Directives do
------------------
A directive can do one or more of the following:
.. rst-class:: wide
* Transform the incoming ``RequestContext`` before passing it on to its inner route (i.e. modify the request)
* Filter the ``RequestContext`` according to some logic, i.e. only pass on certain requests and reject others
* Extract values from the ``RequestContext`` and make them available to its inner route as "extractions"
* Chain some logic into the :class:`RouteResult` future transformation chain (i.e. modify the response or rejection)
* Complete the request
This means a ``Directive`` completely wraps the functionality of its inner route and can apply arbitrarily complex
transformations, both (or either) on the request and on the response side.
