Hi,
I've just read the Francesco blog post about "Java REST client library for Apache
Syncope 1.2.0" [1].
I think it's a great feature that can simplify integration of external Java
applications with Syncope core.
Thanks Denis :-)
As can I understand, it's a new Java API Client Library that rely on Java REST
API refactor [2] already introduced in 1.1.X version.
I'm wondering if it can be used with Apache Syncope 1.1.X or only with Apache
Syncope releases >= 1.2.0.
Hum, this is a bit more complicated.
In Syncope 1.1.X, both Spring MVC and CXF are available, hence there are
two different ways to construct client code (see this project of mine
[3] to get an idea) that will interact with two different RESTful
interfaces.
One can think to backport SyncopeClient from 1.2.X and only provide
support for CXF services; unfortunately there are some unfinished
aspects with CXF in 1.1.X that were completed in 1.2.X (SYNCOPE-285 and
related, for example) that would result in a somehow limited
SyncopeClient capabilities.
Again, at least part of such "incompleteness" can be backported as well
but the whole task can become quite large.
Personally, I have not enough spare cycles to dedicate to this, but I am
available to help anyone else willing to step in.
Regards.
