Hi, I'm working on the support for Murtipart/Related packages (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ABDERA-166) and I'd like to explain
you how I'm doing it:
First, the client support: I've created a new "RequestEntry" called
MultipartRequestEntry that creates a multipart/related package from an entry
and an inputstream given. Thus, the AbderaClient include a new post method
that receives a Base object and an InputStream object and sends the package
created with them.
The server support: I've created a new FOMMultimediaCollection class that
extends the FOMCollection class and wraps the addAccepts and setAccepts
methods. Moreover I've added a new method to the FOMWorkpace in order to
create new instances of that class. I endorse a use case:
Factory factory = abdera.getFactory();
Service svc = factory.newService();
Workspace ws = svc.addWorkspace("test-ws");
FOMMultipartCollection coll = (FOMMultipartCollection)
ws.addMultipartCollection("test multipart coll", "/test-coll");
coll.setAcceptsEntry();
coll.addAccepts("image/*", true); //media type that supports
multipart/related
Then the AbstractCollectionAdapter contains two methods that extract the
Media Link Entry and the Media Resource from the RequestContext inputStream.
I think this could be enought in order to support the ietf draft(
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-gregorio-atompub-multipart-01.txt
).
Please, don't hesitate sending comments, I'd like to know your opinion
before to continue the development.
