Samples Agent

This repository contains the Unified Submission Interface (USI) Samples Agent which is the microservice in charge of handling the communication between USI and BioSamples.

About

This agent will submit new samples, update and fetch existing ones. It has an external dependency on BioSamples v4.0.0, which at this point is still under active development. The agent 'listens' to two queues from RabbitMQ and processes three types of requests:

• Submission of new samples
• Update of existing samples
• Fetching existing samples

This is a Spring Boot application. The agent is structured as follows:

• SamplesAgentApplication
• agent/
  • Listener
  • SamplesProcessor
  • CertificatesGenerator
  • services/
    • Submission
    • Update
    • Fetch
    • Integrity (avoids unwanted resubmission)
  • converters/
