> 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
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> 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.
