Hi everybody,
I will try to go forward in committing REST API improvements made by
Ludovic and me.
Looking at the discussion about the pull request I opened
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/68
Thomas pointed out the fact that it brings
"xwiki-platform-wiki-manager-api" as a dependency in XE, and this
might require a vote.
xwiki-platform-wiki-manager-api is something that was bundled only in
XEM and not in XE.
I added it as a dependency because I use its code for performing wiki
creation and XAR importing.
Thomas' comment is here:
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/68#discussion_r1335333
So the vote is about the bundling of xwiki-platform-wiki-manager-api
in XE for merging this pull request.
I am +1, of course.
-1 ATM until convinced otherwise. This would be a mess. Our goal is to do the opposite
and remove dependencies not create new ones :)
Thanks. Actually I agree with your -1.
Each module should bring its own REST resources so the
wiki creation REST resource should go in wiki-manager-api or in a new wiki-manager-rest
module.
Ok, so the idea is to add a new module that is bundled only with XEM
and that add wiki creation if present. Which sounds good.
I need to check if it's feasible though...
The problem here is the following: The core REST API which is based on
the very XWiki model, "talks" about wikis.
Now the resource about wikis "/rest/wikis/{wiki}" is in the core REST
API that is bundled in the REST module in XE.
So wiki creation should refer to this resource: in the current
implementation, in fact, it is a POST method of the resource
associated to "/rest/wikis".
Now if we want to move this functionality in XEM we should be able to
bundle a resource that points to "/rest/wikis" as well and add the
POST handling.
In principle should be ok, but I have to be check it. Because in this
case we will have two classes that are annotated with the same @Path
annotation and I don't know if Restlet JAXRS is going to like it.
Same for XAR importing. There should one XAR importing
REST API that works without wiki-manager-api (just using oldcore's Packager) and
possibily another one in wiki-manager-api which may extend the simpler one (or create a
new one altogether) for importing in several wikis.
Actually I was wrong in the description of the functionality. The
dependency on wiki manager is needed only for wiki creation. XAR
importing is done using the packager plugin in the oldcore, so it
would work normally even if wiki manager is not there.
Thanks,
Fabio
