Hi Glen,
I added this method as Paul proposed to have search based on media types
(e.g. find all WSDLs) in yesterday's meeting. I like the method you have
proposed as a way to support more advanced queries on resources. But I
think we should have media type based search as an API method as we
consider media type support as a main feature in the Registry.
Thanks,

Hi Reg-devs:
I think this is a somewhat worrying trend. There are an awful lot of
potential queries like this that we're going to want, and I don't
think adding Registry methods is going to be scalable for all of them.
I'd like us to discuss a more general query API at the Registry
interface level, and then at least we'll be able to hide these kinds
of queries in the implementation underneath. Note that this is
different from the idea of "stored" queries in the Registry itself
(although we can potentially use some of the same backend code).
A strawman:
String [] getMatchingPaths(String query); // Use default query type
String [] getMatchingPaths(String query, String queryType);
Example:
paths = registry.getMatchingPaths("media-type EQ " + mediaType);
This assumes a dead-simple query language that would let us do basic
boolean matches across a property-space that we would define
(basically the fields in Resource). All we'd need to do for v1 is
ensure that one or two desired queries would work, but this would
protect us from API changes.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

New Revision: 12124
Log:
Implemented the media type based search as a method of the Registry
interface.
Added a test case to test media type based search.
(This test case is commented till the media type search is
implemented in the remote registry)
