All; I'm looking into ways we can make the requisition imports a little more flexible, with the goal of getting the handlers to run on Minion.
Currently, custom handlers like 'dns' and 'vmware' are registered via the global GenericURLFactory: https://github.com/OpenNMS/opennms/blob/e782249d46c07f54f28746cedca7e17f7c8bc51d/opennms-util/src/main/java/org/opennms/core/utils/url/GenericURLFactory.java#L75 And URLs of the form 'vmware://vcenter.mydomain.org?importHostPoweredOff=true' trigger the appropriate handler, which returns a stream containing a Requisition document. To make this more flexible, while requiring minimal changes to provisiond I thought we could add a new handler to support URLs for the form: requisition://type?host=host&port=port&location=location&attr=attr So this URL: vmware://vcenter.mydomain.org/?importHostPoweredOff=true Would become: requisition://vmware/?host=vcenter.mydomain.org&importHostPoweredOff=true Existing handlers would continue to expose the custom URL handlers in addition to a new interface: public interface RequisitionProvider { Requisition getRequisition(Map<String, String> params); } Which would be exposed via OSGi using: <service ref="myRequisitionProvider" interface="org.opennms.netmgt.provision.RequisitionProvider"> <service-properties> <entry key="type" value="mytype" /> </service-properties> </service> The handler for the 'requisition' protocol would then delegate the requests to the typed provider, and perform an RPC call to a remote location when necessary. Does this sound reasonable? -Jesse ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Please read the OpenNMS Mailing List FAQ: http://www.opennms.org/index.php/Mailing_List_FAQ opennms-devel mailing list To *unsubscribe* or change your subscription options, see the bottom of this page: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opennms-devel
