Hi Folks,
As per bug [1] there's been some work on simplifying Holger's most
excellent REST API (as well as better leveraging the ECF remote services
API). These refactorings have now been released to head. See [2] for
up-to-date javadocs, and [3] for access to the source code. See
particularly the test code in org.eclipse.ecf.tests.remoteservice.rest
for usage examples...but more example code is coming. If others use the
API and have example code, as usual all contributions will be
appreciated. As well, it would be great to integrate this API into
TweetHub for accessing the twitter service sometime soon.
With the improved integration with ECF remote services, it's now easily
possible to expose an arbitrary rest-based service as an ECF remote
service. (e.g. twitter...or your favorite rest-based service). It's
*not* necessary to have the service be exposed via an ECF-based
server/service (that is, any rest-based serviced can be accessed as a
remote service).
We also have IP approval to use and distribute the json.org JSON parser
implementation, so that those rest services that use json as the
resource representation can parse JSON resources. The json.org parser
is now a bundle included in our dev.eclipse.org build: org.json.
Eventually, this bundle will probably move to Orbit, but in the mean
time we will build it and deploy it with ECF.
Any thoughts/comments appreciated.
Scott
