> JMAP RFC-8621 : Back-reference resolution
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: JAMES-3365
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3365
> Project: James Server
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: JMAP
> Reporter: Benoit Tellier
> Assignee: Antoine Duprat
> Priority: Major
>
> ## Why
> https://jmap.io/spec-core.html#references-to-previous-method-results
> To allow clients to make more efficient use of the network and avoid round
> trips, an argument to one method can be taken from the result of a previous
> method call in the same request.
> Example:
> {code:java}
> [[ "Foo/changes", {
> "accountId": "A1",
> "sinceState": "abcdef"
> }, "t0" ],
> [ "Foo/get", {
> "accountId": "A1",
> "#ids": {
> "resultOf": "t0",
> "name": "Foo/changes",
> "path": "/created"
> }
> }, "t1" ]]
> {code}
> `back references` that mean server will reuse the result of a previous method
> call in the same request.
> Process is:
> - When processing a method call, the server MUST first check the arguments
> object for any names beginning with **#**.
> - If found, the result reference should be resolved and the value used as the
> “real” argument.
> - If any result reference fails to resolve, the whole method MUST be rejected
> with an **invalidResultReference** error.
> - If an arguments object contains the same argument name in normal and
> referenced form (e.g., foo and #foo), the method MUST return an
> **invalidArguments** error.
> A **ResultReference** object has the following properties:
> - **resultOf**: String The method call id (see Section 3.1.1) of a previous
> method call in the current request.
> - **name**: String The required name of a response to that method call.
> - **path**: String A pointer into the arguments of the response selected via
> the name and resultOf properties. This is a JSON Pointer, except it also
> allows the use of * to map through an array (see the description below).
> ## How
> https://github.com/linagora/james-project/pull/3683 demonstrated a proof of
> concept doing JSON substitution within the method arguments (relying on
> play-JSON JSON transformers) before the actual processing start
> This makes back-reference resolution completly orthogonal to the Methods
> being written.
> ## Definition of Done
> Write some simple memory integration tests demonstrating back-references are
> resolved. Also test back-reference resolution failure.
