still checking it.
I'll continue sending you the minor technical issues in private mails, in
order not to fill the list with details which may not be generally interesting.
Some general considerations:
- I see that for the geofence REST API we only have XML output, while the
other geoserver REST calls also allows json and html. Is that ok? Should it be
made expicitly clear in the doc?
- Information provided by the geofence REST API are quite sensitive, so
probably all the geofence/ paths should require user authentication.
It would be a good thing to point out in the doc that the geofence/ path
should be at least protected in a reverse proxied environment.
- The Geofence refactoring implemented to allow to plug the server part into
geoserver has made the roles/groups configuration an external responsability;
given that, I guess that the user/role calls should not be in the geofence
API.
- Servicename in user / role API should be somehow hidden.
Currently we have paths such as:
/rest/usergroup/{serviceName}/users
/rest/usergroup/{serviceName}/group/{group
In order to merge this point with the previous one, would it be a good idea to
create a "geofence" "user group service", and have all the calls to the
user/group interface only interact with that service? It would simplify the
REST URLs, and would restrict the scope of what could be handled using the
REST API.
Cheers,
Emanuele
