Hi Syncoper, I'm almost done with new REST API Service Interface documentation [1]. Last peace missing is only User Service. Please take time to review changes to new Service Interfaces and let's have a discussion on this mailing-list. I think we already discussed all general changes, but if you find something missing, just continue this discussion.
I have a couple of proposals for changes in User Service Interface, which I would like to get your feedback for. After we all agree with User Interface I will update Interface and Documentation accordingly. 1. User Controller contains 5 methods focusing on workflow activities. My proposal would be to move these methods to Workflow Service interface. We could leave business code in UserController class for 1.1.0 release and only change User and Workflow Service Interfaces for now, so that this change will only be visible to new CXF REST API. 2. There are quite some many methods capable of handling username and userId likewise (suspendByUsername, deleteByUsername). As far as I can see console does not use any of them (*byUsername). From my point of view, these methods are redundant (except one), since you can always get user id by readUser(String username) operation. My proposal would be to not support these methods in new interface any longer. 3. There are two methods (and status types) to activate an user account. ACTIVATE and REACTIVATE. From my point of view REACTIVATE is redundant, since it shouldn't matter if user was active previously or not. All that matters is that user should be active afterwards. Therefore my proposal would be to remove REACTIVATE status type and also reactivate operation method. WDYT? Best regards. Jan [1] https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SYNCOPE/REST+API+upgrade
