Hi Vincent,
That's a good idea and that's something I had in mind for some time too :)
What part(s) exactly of our REST module do you imagine moving to commons ?
Just the part that bridges Restlet and our component model.
In my opinion that's already too much.
* That bridge uses a trick that forces to have the FQN of the class as a
hint, it's not a proper integration with the CM.
* That would imply we want to continue with Restlet in the future.
Personally I'm not sure I'd vouch for that, for several reasons. In
particular the fact that JAX-RS is sort of a second class citizen in
Restlet land ; so since we are building on JAX-RS it means both we can't
benefit from many Restlet features that would be interesting, and we
don't benefit either from the features of an (other) framework that
focuses solely on JAX-RS. See for instances injection providers in
Jersey

I ask because to be honest I'm not a big fan of how our REST API is built and what API it
exposes ; and moving it to commons would be to "promote" it in a way.
What don't you like specifically? Maybe worth a separate thread?
So, in my opinion, and since the subject in itself drags interest (at least
from me), I think it would be a good occasion to try and find out what
direction we want to to go regarding REST.
If there is interest, I can take some time and gather my thoughts/feedback as
why I think the current REST API/implementation is limited.
Sure. My idea was just to move the generic part that makes us able to add REST
resources as components into commons and then make some proposal for REST URLs
for the Rendering module (after checking what we already have,).
Thanks

Hi guys,
Just got an idea about a talk I could give at a conference: Building a wiki,
with XWiki Rendering and AngularJS.
The ideas are:
* Demonstrate XWiki Rendering through a use case which is to build a simple
wiki
* Use a recent/modern framework like AngularJS to draw people to the talk ;)
* Talk about XWiki
* Get people to use xwiki rendering and grow the developer base for xwiki
rendering
I think we're close to be able to implement this but it's missing one thing:
ability to call XWiki Rendering from REST.
Thus I think it would be a good idea to move our REST framework into XWiki
Commons and then in XWiki Rendering add a REST module to expose rendering
operations through REST.
WDYT?
Thanks
-Vincent
