Hi, During the last weeks I worked on a migration from the current OCS/XML protocol to a more modern REST/JSON (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON ). Our goal is to simplify the architecture and reduce the cost of new module creation. I believe this changes is very important. It will simplify interoperability with existing solution and help us to include new feature. Another problem for us is the lack of document of OCS protocol. In order to keep compatibility with OCS like server we continue to use the "legacy" protocol for the inventory. By the way, the code just works, there is no reason to drop it.
I started to document the changes: http://forge.fusioninventory.org/projects/fusioninventory-agent/wiki/API-REST Guillaume Rousse is the maintainer of the 3.0.x branch of the agent. He already did a lot of architecture improvement. With him, we decided to do this migration in his new branch. For the moment we will just include subset of the protocol in the incoming ESX and "Deploy" modules in the 2.1.x branch. Of course, comment are welcome and changes are possible. Best regards, -- Gonéri Le Bouder _______________________________________________ Fusioninventory-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/fusioninventory-devel
