Hi all,
Now that we have a first implementation of an XMPP API and component
implementation, how about building even simpler components on top of
that, with a REST interface for example?
Here are some initial thoughts and usage scenarios:
- A sender component, configured with two 'jid' and 'password'
properties. To logon as j...@doe.com configure the 'jid' property. To
send a message to j...@doe.com, POST the message string to
/component-uri/j...@doe.com.
- A receiver service component, configured with two 'jid' and 'password'
properties and a 'listener' reference. To logon as j...@doe.com
configure the 'jid' property. The component receives messages sent to
joe and POSTs them to the component wired to 'listener'.
- Or a sender-receiver service component that does both?
- And perhaps a logger component that logs messages and returns them on
a GET?
I did something like that before in Tuscany C++ (just a sender and a
sender-receiver) and that seemed to work. It shouldn't be too difficult
to write Java or Python implementations of a similar REST scheme here,
on top of what John has already contributed.
Thoughts?
