                 Key: PHOTARK-42
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOTARK-42
             Project: PhotArk
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: PhoatArk Services
    Affects Versions: PhotArk M2
            Reporter: Luciano Resende
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: PhotArk M3


The current album service has grown out of control, and the client makes 
multiple calls to the service to retrieve multiple album information. 
We should start using more model/business objects, and stateless services that 
act on top of these objects.

I'd like to propose we start defining Album as pure model/business objects that 
will have all album related info (e.g name, description, cover image url, etc) 
and same thing with Image.

As for services, we should create a facade service to retrieve info in a more 
atomic way, e.g Gallery.getAlbum(albumName) retrieve a album model object with 
all info for the album at once. We might have a second operation to retrieve 
list of album images if we think it's too heavy to retrieve all at once.... 

Once we have this, we can start looking into applying more RESt style APIs and 
revisit how we can start taking advantage of http caching to improve 
performance of the overall client/server experience.
