Support proper URLs to access the functionality
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: SLING-378
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-378
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Console
            Reporter: Felix Meschberger


Currently the Management Console URLs are not really REST-ful:

> To get a list of bundles you access /system/console/list. This should rather 
> be /system/console/bundles.
> To get bundle details the URL is /system/console/bundledetails with a request 
> property naming the bundle whose details are to be returned. This should 
> rather be /system/console/bundles/x where x is the bundleID or some other 
> identification of the bundle to access
> To start (or stop or uninstall) a bundle a request to /system/console with an 
> action parameter and a bundleId parameter is POSTed to the console. This 
> should rather use the bundle URL - /system/console/bundles/x as above - and 
> an action parameter denoting the action.
> It should be possible to directly access a certain configuration by URL such 
> as /system/console/configurations/<pid> where <pid> is the PID of the 
> configuration or access /system/console/configurations to get all 
> configurations.
> etc.

As a corollary to these changes the current interfaces Action and Render should 
be dropped and replaced by the venerable Servlet interface. This makes 
implementation of the URLs easier. On the downside, this might create big 
servlets for the HTML rendering, which might be solved by using helper classes.
