Michael Aram created WOOKIE-414:
-----------------------------------
Summary: Decrease preferences protocol overhead
Key: WOOKIE-414
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-414
Project: Wookie
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Michael Aram
Priority: Minor
Consider a use case, where you automatically embed Wookie widgets and have to
configure them a bit. Think of a news reader widget that gets a concrete news
feed URL set as a parameter on startup.
The problem with the current API is, though, that it allows us only to set
parameters one by one. This results in a unnecessary network overhead, as the
container has to send e.g. 6 HTTP requests (for a widget with 5 preferences) to
Wookie before being able to deploy the Wookie-Widget-Instance-URL of the
correctly configured widget-instance to the users browser. (Another, minor
problem is the existence of an unconfigured or partly configured widget
instance in the course of this transaction.)
Therefore, I propose to extend the REST API so that it allows one to send an
additional JSON (member) object containing widget properties when instantiating
a widget. Resulting in 1 HTTP request only between container and Wookie.
