OSGi VIES VAT number validation

About

The project contains two OSGi bundles that provide online EU VAT number validation with VAT Information Exchange System (VIES).

  1. vat-checker-api.jar - Java model for VIES API
  2. vat-checker-service.jar - service client that uses classes generated from WSDL published by VIES

API

Bundle offers simple Java service interface:

package org.synus.vies.api;
public interface VatChecker {
    VatCheckerResult checkVat(Country country, String vatNumber);

The implementation catches all exceptions (logs them with slf4j) and always returns a result instance of type:

// ...
public class VatCheckerResult {

    private final Country country;
    private final String vatNumber;
    private final Optional<LocalDateTime> requestDate;
    private final boolean valid;
    private final Optional<String> name;
    private final Optional<String> address;
    private final Optional<VatCheckerError> error;
// ...

Result and error handling

Returned VatCheckerResult instance can be in following states:

  1. VAT valid: valid=true
  2. VAT invalid: valid=false and error is empty
  3. VAT checker error: valid=false and error has enum value
    public enum VatCheckerError {
        INVALID_INPUT,
        INVALID_REQUESTER_INFO,
        SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE,
        MS_UNAVAILABLE,
        TIMEOUT,
        VAT_BLOCKED,
        IP_BLOCKED,
        GLOBAL_MAX_CONCURRENT_REQ,
        GLOBAL_MAX_CONCURRENT_REQ_TIME,
        MS_MAX_CONCURRENT_REQ,
        MS_MAX_CONCURRENT_REQ_TIME,
        UNEXPECTED,
    }

Installation

Build and install both api and implementation jars on your osgi container.

$ ./gradlew build # to build both jars jar
$ cp vat-checker-api/build/libs/vat-checker-api-1.0.0.jar $MY_OSGI_CONTAINER
$ cp vat-checker-service/build/libs/vat-checker-service-1.0.0.jar $MY_OSGI_CONTAINER

Usage

Gradle project

build.gradle:

dependencies {
    compileOnly 'org.synus.vies:vat-checker-api:1.0.0'
}

Example: Liferay's gogo shell command

@Component(
        property = {"osgi.command.function=checkvat", "osgi.command.scope=blade"},
        service = Object.class
)
public class ExampleCommand {

    @Reference
    private volatile VatChecker vatChecker;

    public void checkvat(String country, String vatNumber) {
        System.out.println(vatChecker.checkVat(Country.valueOf(country), vatNumber).isValid());
    }

}
$ telnet localhost 11311
