Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-4274:
------------------------------------
By default, request payloads (HTTP entity) are basically the target service's
parameters wrapped in the resource name. In an XML payload the service
parameters are child elements of the resource element (whose tag name is the
resource name). This approach leverages the existing service definitions to
define a REST resource API.
By default, response payloads are the service results. The service result Map
is converted to the requested media type.
In cases where the request payload is controlled by an external application,
the REST resource configuration could map the requests to a service that
performs a data conversion (or translation) and then calls OFBiz services with
the converted data. The method of converting service results into a response an
external application expects is undefined at this time. Supporting this type of
functionality (client-defined API) is beyond the scope of the initial
implementation. Installations requiring that kind of support could use an ESB
for translation.
The servlet will support pluggable converters that convert payloads to/from
media types (XML, JSON).
