Hi,
I guess it depends on where you want to expose the REST api.
If we are talking about adding it below the geoserver/rest endpoint, then
I'm afraid you will have to re-code the geofence rest api using restlet.
If however it's ok to have them under geoserver/geofence/rest (a parallel
to geoserver/gwc/... urls) then there is a chance it can be done without
too much
effort, assuming CXF and its dependencies can be mixed in the GeoServer
classpath without problems.
The GeoWebCache own dispatcher is a Spring AbstractController, it's declared
as a bean in the GeoServer app context and then mapped to its own
url subset as follows:
<bean id="gwcUrlMapping"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true"/>
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<!-- prop key="/gwc/service/**">geowebcacheDispatcher</prop-->
<prop key="/gwc/demo/**">geowebcacheDispatcher</prop>
<prop key="/gwc/proxy/**">gwcProxyDispatcher</prop>
<prop key="/gwc/**">geowebcacheDispatcher</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Now, in GeoFence CXF is enabled using this declaration in web.xml:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CXFServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Spring provides a particular AbstractController subclass
called ServletForwardingController
that can forward to a servlet... it's not exactly what we need, but should
be close enough.
So, I guess one could create a special AbstractController wrapping the
CXFServlet, and
then binding it to /geofence/rest
That is hopefully going to do the trick
Cheers
Andrea
