Hi Alex, Thanks a lot for this feedback and proposition. To clarify my intent, I have merged issue #72 and #73 into a single one: "Complete initial Atom support" (http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=72). Here is the comment added:
The scope for Restlet 1.1: - support Atom Syndication Format (XML), both reading and writing - provide an Atom Publication Protocol (APP) client For now, we will leave the significant work of implementing an APP server to the existing "atomojo" project which is already based on the Restlet framework and on eXist and derby for persistence. See details at: http://code.google.com/p/atomojo/ In the future, we will consider abstracting the generic/reusable part of an APP server, to work with various persistence technologies for example. See proposition from Alex Milowski: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.restlet/2094 Best regards, Jerome > -----Message d'origine----- > De : [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] De la > part de Alex Milowski > Envoyé : jeudi 17 mai 2007 15:36 > À : [email protected] > Objet : Re: Roadmap to 1.1 > > On 5/3/07, Jerome Louvel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ID Pri Summary > > -- --- ------- > > 72 P3 Complete Atom parsing > > 73 P3 Implement Atom writing > > Looking at these issues, I see that you are considering implementing > the atom protocol.
