Hi all, I would like to share a progress update on FINERACT-2169 (migrating REST API endpoints to the typed command framework).
JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FINERACT-2169 Batch 1 - Job Scheduling All Job Scheduling endpoints have been migrated from the legacy JsonCommand approach to the typed command framework. PR 1 - Update Job Scheduling https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/5903 PR 2 - Execute Job Scheduling https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/5952 (in progress, changes needed) Batch 2 – Group Module PR 1 - Create Group https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/6007 Currently awaiting review. All fork CI checks are passing (85/85). PR 2 – Update Group and Delete Group https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/6015 PR 3 – Group State Operations Covers Activate, Close, Assign Staff, and Unassign Staff operations. https://github.com/apache/fineract/pull/6021 Common Migration Pattern The same implementation pattern used in the merged StaffCreateCommand work is being followed: - Lombok annotations for reducing boilerplate code. - Jakarta Validation for request validation. - Resilience4j retry support with fallback methods. - Constructor-based dependency injection (no `@Autowired`). - Typed command flow using `Command<T>`, `CommandHandler`, and `CommandDispatcher`. - Unit tests using JUnit 5, Mockito, and AssertJ. IN PROGRESS - Starting work on the Client Address module (CRUD endpoints under `/clients/{clientId}/addresses`). BLOCKERS 1. PR Reviews - The main dependency at the moment is review feedback on submitted PRs. - Since new migrations follow patterns established in earlier PRs, review comments on existing work help ensure consistency and reduce rework in subsequent PRs. Early feedback is especially helpful before additional modules are migrated. 2. CI Issues - Occasionally there are Apache CI failures unrelated to the submitted code, which require rebasing and rerunning builds. These have been minor so far. PLAN UNTIL MIDTERM - Complete the Job Scheduling module, Group module, Client Address module, Client Family Member module. - Reserve time for review feedback and required updates on submitted PRs. PLAN AFTER MIDTERM - Client Identifier module. - Calendar module (expected to be split into multiple PRs). - Continue review and follow-up work on previously submitted PRs. - Prepare migration documentation and examples for future contributors. Feedback on the implementation approach, PR structure, or migration plan is welcome. Best Regards, Nidhi Bhawari GSoC 2026 Contributor Apache Fineract
