Hi Marko,
As Adam indicated, the move to CXF is not happening with the 3.5 release; it
is still in progress. And while there is no current plan to move to using
CXF as our JAX-RS implementation on the REST side, I think it is a distinct
possibility. Fedora currently uses Jersey as our JAX-RS implementation.
Regarding the suggested solution for FCREPO-951 (having the existing
"listDatastreams" take a query parameter to indicate which level of detail
to provide), I think you're pointing out that this may make it difficult to
handle on the client side, if you are using the CXF's marshalling
capabilities (translating the XML response to an instance of the
ObjectDatastreamsTO class)?
In your example code, you have two separate methods. But the suggestion that
came up on the call is that we have one on the server, just with a different
parameter depending on what level of detail you want. I believe if you were
depending on CXF's auto-marshalling, this could still work. But you'd need
to have *one* method on the client side. The thing that would need to change
would be the ObjectDatastreamsTO class. Specifically, the CXF client classes
would have to be able to marshal/demarshal to/from the following new XML
schema:
https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/attachment/11608/listDatastreams.xsd
Is that not possible?
Thanks,
Chris
