09/29/2022, 8:26 PMHey @heatbr there isn’t an example of this as such yet. But the easiest way to use supertokens along with Java is to host another service in node / golang or python which uses our SDK and acts as the auth server to your Java backend.

I still have a doubt, because it's session based is it not necessary the /auth route being along as middleware ?

09/30/2022, 12:12 PMwhat you said is I can do the auth on another service, for instance node with only the auth route and then use the given tokens to send the request to my java service ?

yes.

Which API? I thought the java service was the API.

I don't think I understood this. The node server should reside on the same base domain (same or different sub domain) as the java service - cause it's cookie based sessions.
So if the java service is api.example.com, then node can be api.example.com/auth/* or auth.example.com/* (in this case you can set the apiDomain to be "/").
Does this answer the question?

I mean the suprtokens core.

Yes it does. thank you

Ah yea.. sure. Your java service can talk to the core as well using its REST APIs. Nothing stopping you from doing that.
