Hi All, I'd like to propose a project for GSoC 2013 and request to be considered as a candidate to work on the project.
The goal would be to implement a JAX-RS option for the CAS-Product (webapp/fmprod) module of OODT. This would initially sit alongside the existing data, RDF and RSS servlets and would offer a more powerful means for the CAS-Product module to interact with the File Manager. The implementation would use Apache CXF, to complement existing JAX-RS implementations in OODT such as those in PCS and CAS-Curator. I worked on improvements to the CAS-Product RSS servlets last year for GSoC 2012 (e.g. see refs [1] to [8] below). As a PMC member and committer for OODT, I also have experience of submitting patches via JIRA, using Review Board and committing updates to the repository. I therefore feel that I would be a good candidate to work on this project for GSoC 2013.
