I have been thinking about this, too. As of today the best way seems to be using the APIs directly (e. g. by writing scripts that instantiate the necessary objects with their corresponding configuration). This works but is a bit flaky, as the current API is subject to change. My need is (not yet) pressing, but my project will need something similar approximately beginning of next year. So I'd really appreciate either a stable API (maybe a layer on top of the current stuff) and/or a SOAP (or XMLRPC or whatever) interface to the system. Perhaps the SOAP/XMLRPC layer might even be implemented using the above mentioned API as a replaceable module, making the following architecture possible: ---------------------------------------------------- |SOAP Interface | XMLRPC Interface | CGI Interface | ---------------------------------------------------- |OpenCA functional API (new) | ---------------------------------------------------- |OpenCA core code base | ---------------------------------------------------- Perhaps we can discuss this during the developer workshop.
