Re: [Dspace-devel] DSpace GSoC REST API project status?

Well, merge it into core is sort of code for get it released with the rest of DSpace. So, how shall we get this work to release status and be distributed alongside the rest of DSpace? We've not done as well as we might, historically, in bringing good GSOC work into the product when GSOC ends,

Hi all, A few comments, which Sands' thoughts brought to mind. First, a quick FYI for everyone reading along. The REST API code is actually available in SVN already (this year, we required all GSoC projects to work out of our SVN). So, any developers can already pull it down and begin to

All, Here's yet another possible approach to how we could release the REST API. I asked the Fedora Commons folks how they went about releasing their REST API. Here's the general steps they went through: 1. In Fedora 3.0 (July 2008), they released the REST API as experimental with an explicit

Hi Bojan (and all), First, I'd agree with Kevin Clarke's point. At a minimum level, I think we really need support for Basic HTTP Auth before we could think about releasing the REST API as part of DSpace 1.7 (which I, personally, would love to see happen). All our other machine interfaces

It's great that this code is being moved along with the target of a 1.7 release. I think that it's one of the most needed features for DSpace to grow. However, a comment / opinion on getting it into the repository. I wonder if it's not too much of a rush to put it immediately into the trunk.

I agree -- it's a great feature and I'm really looking forward to its completion, but I think it might be too early for trunk testing right now.. even the GET functionality isn't 100% there yet. RE: Auth -- I've been implementing basic HTTP auth in Tomcat and including authZ details in my

Hello Tim, Aaron and others, I will first answer the questions: (1) We noticed that the REST API documentation on the wiki currently doesn't mention anything about Authentication. How is authentication expected to be handled (or being handled)? Is it just Basic HTTP Auth? Is there any

Bojan and Aaron, I wanted to touch base on the REST project status, based on recent developer discussions of this project. I've also decided to include the entire 'dspace-gsoc-student' and 'dspace-devel' lists, as others may want to add comments. I hope you don't mind having this discussion
