sdk/java | XID

Java 17+ server SDK for networkless JWT verification, HTTP request authentication, and webhook signature validation.

Status

Implemented and verified locally. Real IdP round-trip verification (JWKS fetch, token sign/verify against a live XID instance) has not been performed yet and must be completed before production use.

Registry status: UNPUBLISHED. Install this SDK only from the repository source checkout; do not use an external package registry.

Request authentication is Bearer-only by default. An application-owned JWT cookie is read only when its exact name is configured. The opaque __Host-xid.rt.* Core cookie is never scanned or verified locally; exchange it by forwarding the complete Cookie header to exact same-origin POST /v1/sessions/token with redirects disabled, and accept only a response containing the token field.

Install

Java 17+ and Maven required.

<!-- First install the source checkout: cd sdk/java && mvn install -->

Quick start

Construct one XidClient at application startup and use it as a singleton.

import dev.xid.sdk.XidClient;
import dev.xid.sdk.XidClientOptions;
import dev.xid.sdk.XidClaims;
import dev.xid.sdk.XidTokenException;
import dev.xid.sdk.XidJwksException;

XidClient xid = XidClient.create(
    XidClientOptions.builder()
        .issuer("https://xid.dev")
        .audience("your-client-id")
        .webhookSecret("whsec_xxx")
        .build()
);

try {
    XidClaims claims = xid.verifyToken(accessToken);
    String userId = claims.getSub();
    String scope  = claims.getScope();
} catch (XidTokenException e) {
    response.sendError(401, "Unauthorized: " + e.getReason());
} catch (XidJwksException e) {
    response.sendError(503, "Service unavailable");
}

Authenticate an HTTP request

import dev.xid.sdk.AuthResult;

// Bearer-only by default
AuthResult result = xid.authenticateRequest(request.getHeader("Authorization"), null);

if (result.isAuthenticated()) {
    String userId = result.getClaims().get().getSub();
} else {
    response.sendError(401);
}

String token = xid.exchangeSessionToken(
    request.getRequestURL().toString(),
    request.getHeader("Cookie"),
    "/v1/sessions/token"
);

Verify webhook

import dev.xid.sdk.XidWebhookException;

byte[] rawBody = request.getInputStream().readAllBytes();
Map<String, String> headers = Map.of(
    "svix-id",        request.getHeader("svix-id"),
    "svix-timestamp", request.getHeader("svix-timestamp"),
    "svix-signature", request.getHeader("svix-signature")
);

try {
    xid.verifyWebhook(headers, rawBody);
} catch (XidWebhookException e) {
    response.sendError(400, "Invalid webhook: " + e.getReason());
}

XidClientOptions

Method	Default	Description
`.issuer(String)`	required	OIDC issuer; must match token iss exactly
`.audience(String)`	`null`	Expected aud; null skips validation
`.webhookSecret(String)`	`null`	Webhook secret (`whsec_` prefix or raw base64)
`.jwksCacheDuration(Duration)`	1 hour	JWKS in-memory cache TTL
`.clockSkewTolerance(Duration)`	30 seconds	exp/nbf clock skew tolerance
`.connectTimeout(Duration)`	5 seconds	HTTP connection timeout for JWKS fetch
`.readTimeout(Duration)`	10 seconds	HTTP read timeout for JWKS fetch

Platform notes

Uses nimbus-jose-jwt for JWT/JWKS parsing. ES256 is primary; RS256 and PS256 are supported.
All public APIs are synchronous and thread-safe.
Logging via SLF4J facade; bring your own implementation (Logback, Log4j2).
Exception hierarchy: XidException -> XidTokenException, XidJwksException, XidWebhookException.
