> Key: EDGENT-376
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/EDGENT-376
> Project: Edgent
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors
> Reporter: Dale LaBossiere
> Assignee: Dale LaBossiere
> Fix For: Apache Edgent 1.1.0
>
>
> Use case: I need to be able to write an edge device application that uses
> both the Edgent APIs/programming model for analytics and the IBM Watson IoT
> Platform "Managed Device" APIs for other capabilities (e.g., to support the
> WIoTP "reboot the device" protocol).
> I don't need the Edgent IoT connector to support WIoTP defined "Managed
> Device" capabilities -- e.g., I don't need my Edgent application to be able
> to create a TStream of subscribed "WIoTP device management" commands using
> {{IotDevice.commands(...)}}.
> Today the
> [IotpDevice|https://github.com/apache/incubator-edgent/blob/master/connectors/iotp/src/main/java/org/apache/edgent/connectors/iotp/IotpDevice.java]
> connector precludes this use case. It hides the WIoTP API objects used to
> connect to WIoTP. The WIoTP {{DeviceClient}} API is for a simple device
> (used by today's connector); {{ManagedDevice}} is for a "managed device" --
> {{ManagedDevice extends DeviceClient}}.
> I think the best way to enable this use case, and generally add more
> flexibility in configuring an underlying WIoTP connection, would be to add a
> {{IotpDevice(DeviceClient)}} constructor, allowing the application to create
> and use the ManagedDevice object for WIoTP managed device capabilities and
> intialize the IotpDevice connector with it.
