Java SDK Overview

The Authlete Java SDK is the authlete-java-common library — a wrapper library for the Authlete Web APIs. Authlete is a cloud service that provides an implementation of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. Your authorization server calls the Web APIs provided by Authlete to handle the OAuth/OIDC protocol logic, and this library lets you call those Web APIs from a Java application without dealing with HTTP requests and JSON payloads directly.

What the SDK Provides

API client interfaces for both the Core API (runtime OAuth/OIDC protocol handling) and the Management API (service, client, and token management).
Typed request and response classes under com.authlete.common.dto that model every Authlete API, with JavaDoc describing the pre- and post-processing expected at each step.
Utility classes for common authorization-server tasks such as handling endpoint actions returned by Authlete.

The SDK is the foundation of Authlete’s Java integration stack:

authlete-java-common — the core library described here.
authlete-java-jaxrs — JAX-RS (javax.*) integration built on top of the common library.
authlete-java-jakarta — the Jakarta EE (jakarta.*) counterpart of authlete-java-jaxrs.
java-oauth-server — a reference authorization server implementation. It is a good starting point for your own server; see Leveraging Reference Implementations.

Installation

Add the dependency with Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.authlete</groupId>
    <artifactId>authlete-java-common</artifactId>
    <version>${authlete-java-common.version}</version>
</dependency>

Refer to CHANGES.md for the latest version to use in place of ${authlete-java-common.version}.
