see the two attachments in this jira ticket: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-270
I think these are re-usable for the general abdera docs as well. We could put them on the wiki after we remove the shindig references and in addition, point to the shindig implementation and docs as an example. It goes off into specifics of the shindig server but basically it outlines the RouteManager and AbstractEntityCollectionAdapter. These two components, for dispatching and adapters, make up the majority of the walkthrough. I'd always intended to add this to abdera and I just wanted to give a heads up to the abdera crew in case they wanted to check them out or peek at the shindig sever. There's a new open social api spec and the server has a long way to go to satisfy it (I'd call it 15% complete at this point but it's a start) davep
