[ecf-dev] Rest API additions - COMMITTERS PLEASE VOTE ASAP
|
Hi Folks,
There is a consumer of the REST API that would like to add a small
amount of API in order to introduce flexibility into the handling of
default parameters [1]. It would be convenient for them for this
addition to be in Helios release (ECF 3.3) and so I propose that we add
this API to our Helios release stream. There's a brief explanation of
changes and risks below, and see the bug [1] for details.
Since we are after M7, however, and our ramp-down policy [2] states that
any API changes have to be approved by vote of committers, I'm hereby
requesting such a vote. *If you are a committer*, please vote (+1, 0,
-1) in response to this email as soon as possible.
My (Scott) vote: +1
Thanks,
Scott
Explanation of Changes and Risks
The changes are *additions* to the API (protected methods added to
abstract superclass). Existing client will not be affected. I consider
the risks low...and it seems likely that this API will be used by other
consumers of the ECF REST API.
