Hi Jody,
-1 for the moment, but only because the proposal is incomplete.
Bits that should be addressed before making it go forward:
* Show the XML and JSON representations of the various resources and
commands (are they properly interlinked via atom links, and what other
information do they contain?). This is the most evident limitation of the
proposal, as these are not implementation bits, but rightful part of the
protocol you're proposing to implement
* Determine what happens if format is used against a file resource (that I
assume we cannot transcode to another format), and what mime type will be
returned for them (e.g., property files)
* What is the metadata of a directory? I assume we can return metadata for
a file too, but the proposal only mentions a format for directories
* How does one tell apart the desire to upload a zip file, from one of
uploading a directory to be unpacked? How does one create an emtpy
directory?
* I don't claim to be a REST expert, but the POST usage seems strange...
should't POST be used only when the target resource position is determined
by the server instead of by the caller? Some guidance here:
http://restcookbook.com/HTTP%20Methods/put-vs-post/
* HEAD requests for metadata seem a good idea
Finally, a general question, how is the resource work going to interact
with the existing rest path mappers? What if for example one wants to
upload via
the REST api some large data set to be configured, and make sure it's going
to be saved on disk instead of DBMS, because it needs to accessed
via random access and it's in general very large?
My understanding is that JDBCConfig would only handle _config_ and not
data, but want to make sure.
Cheers
Andrea
