John Blum updated GEODE-10007:
------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> o.a.geode.cache.internal.HttpService should be part of the API
> --------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEODE-10007
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10007
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: John Blum
> Priority: Minor
>
> The {{HttpService}} interface is defined and used as a _Service Provider
> Interface_ (SPI) and even loaded as such by via the _Java_ {{ServerLoader}}
> ([Javadoc|https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/ServiceLoader.html])
> class in order to locate and load provider implementations.
> An SPI is not much good if "providers" are not allowed to "provide" an
> implementation of the service interfaces used to extend or customize Apache
> Geode. This allows any application, framework, tool or product a degree of
> extensibility and flexibility, afforded to users without intervention.
> 1 such example would be to be able to supply a Jakarta EE 9 (spec) compliant
> implementation of an embedded HTTP server (e.g. Jetty, Tomcat or even
> Undertow) used by Geode to bootstrap the HTTP service hosting the Geode
> provided Web apps (e.g. Pulse, Management/Admin REST API, Developer REST
> API). Of course, these Web apps need to be updated as well (to use the new
> Jakarta EE 9 specs).
> There are other examples of the SPI used on Apache Geode, which are part of
> the non-internal, public API, for example the
> [ServerLaucherCacheProvider|https://geode.apache.org/releases/latest/javadoc/org/apache/geode/distributed/ServerLauncherCacheProvider.html]
> interface, with 1 such
> [implementation|https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/geode/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/gemfire/support/SpringServerLauncherCacheProvider.html]
> provided by _Spring Data for Apache Geode_ (SDG) even.
