Hi Developers,
On Thursday, July 23 from 15:00-16:00 UTC (11:00am-12:00pm EDT), we
will be holding a Special Topic meeting to learn about and discuss the
DSpace "Services API" project begun by @mire.
The DSpace "Services API" is an in-progress, refactoring of the DSpace
API layer to better support "separation of concerns". Simply put,
often, in the existing API, there is an intermingling of business
logic and database logic which is difficult to maintain, debug and/or
build against. One of the most obvious examples is how we deal with
database software support (PostgreSQL vs. Oracle), but such
intermingling of logic exists in many of our core classes.
The DSpace "Services API" attempts to tease apart the database logic
from the business logic into separate layers, while also adding
support for Hibernate (http://hibernate.org/). The goal is to provide
an easier to maintain, more modular API, while also enhancing how we
deal with database logic in general (via Hibernate).
While this work began as an internal "experiment" within @mire, it has
quickly progressed into a potentially promising refactoring of the
DSpace API layer. While the refactoring work is not yet complete, it
is at a stage where others could contribute and/or collaborate on the
work. It may even be considered for the upcoming DSpace 6 release,
should it garner enough interest and collaborators to help move it
forward rapidly.
If this project sounds interesting to you, we encourage you to attend
the meeting. We will record this meeting and make the video available
for anyone who is unable to attend.
The meeting itself will be held via Adobe Connect (connection details
below), as it will include slides along with Q&A/discussion:

Select 'Enter as a Guest'
Enter your name and click 'Enter Room'
Make sure your computer mic and speakers are turned on
To participate we highly recommend running the Adobe Connect Test
<https://educause.acms.com/common/help/en/support/meeting_test.htm> before
the event. This test takes 30 seconds and will verify that your
computer meets hardware and software requirements to use Adobe Connect
and ensure a smooth start to the meeting.
* Please note: if you get an error message on the last step "Adobe
Connect Add-in Test: Not Installed" that is OK -- you do not need
to install anything to connect to Adobe Connect. The first 3 steps
to the test need to run successfully, however.
If you have any difficulties, you should visit our Adobe Connect
