Content groups are now a separate entity with their own repository and
service and endpoint. A content group can no longer be set when creating
a new content. Instead the new API endpoint has to be used to add the
content to a group.

Refactor account activation and password reset

Closes #47

See merge request !146

Account activation is now using the ban logic as used for login failure
logic.

The account activation and reset mail now only contain the code. String
placeholders are numbered correctly again. The activation and reset
keys' length has been reduced to 8 characters.

Fixes #47.

Removed unused legacy forwards.

Implement RFC 6750 instead of custom header for JWT

See merge request !144

Daniel Gerhardt authored 5 years ago and Daniel Gerhardt committed 5 years ago

The JWT is now read from the Authorization header:
	Authorization: Bearer <JWT>
The Arsnova-Auth-Token header is no longer supported.

Using a standard header simplifies integration of the API with other
services and HTTP/REST libraries and tools.

RFC 6750:

Add /management endpoint provided via Spring Actuator

We do not use any data sources at the moment and the auto config causes
problems when the application is deployed to Tomcat.

Methods annotated with @Timed now use Micrometers annotation. The @Gauge
annotation has been remove without replacement for now.

While configuration for the use of Micrometer's TimedAspect has been
prepared, it is not yet active because of compatibility issues with
compile-time weaving.
See https://github.com/micrometer-metrics/micrometer/issues/1149.

The new endpoint provide metrics including information about application
health, environment, configuration, beans, caches and performance via
Spring Actuator. Additional custom endpoints for version info and
statistics are available.

Content type `application/json` may not be set for the `Accept` header
of requests to the management API. Otherwise, only a JSON stub is
returned. `application/vnd.spring-boot.actuator.v2+json` or `*/*` should
be used instead.

To allow monitoring of metrics, a Prometheus endpoint is provided via
Micrometer.

The Nashorn ScriptEngine is deprecated since JDK 11 as described by
JEP 335. We now include GraalJS as a replacement.

This workaround can be removed when a new plugin version is released.

Java 11 removes Java EE modules as described by JEP 320. Since we depend
on some of those modules those have now to be added explicitly.

The following affected APIs are used by us directly or indirectly:
* javax.annotation
* javax.xml.bind

Some workarounds had to be added for now to fix issues caused by
dependencies which include conflicting APIs.

See https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/320.

Add tracing on incoming messages

Add bean validation for entity classes

See merge request !138

Validation is performed before entities are persisted using Hibernate
Validator, the reference implementation for Bean Validation 2.0
(JSR 380).

Refs #23.

Use YAML instead of properties format for config

See merge request !137

The location of `application.yml` can now be set via environment
variable `ARSNOVA_CONFIG_DIR` or Java system property
`arsnova.config-dir`.

For most of the configuration property classes are now used instead of
using property injection via @Value.
