In real use-cases, do we expect user to set 'server.url' at a LookupRecord
processor's user defined property?
As an alternative approach, I'd add `endpoint url` at RestLookupService to
define a template string to resolve target endpoint, and let callers such as
LookupRecord to pass required variables to complete the target endpoint.
For example:
- At RestLookupService
- Endpoint URL:
`https://some-api.example.com/buckets/${bucketId}/items/${itemId}`
- At LookupRecord processor
- bucketId as user-defined-property: ./bucketId (a record path to get a
value)
- itemId as user-defined-property: ./itemId (a record path to get a value)
By doing so, it also supports passing the entire endpoint URL:
- At RestLookupService
- Endpoint URL: `${endpoint}`
- At LookupRecord processor
- endpoint as user-defined-property: a record path to construct an URL
I'd expect RestLookupService to have more control on REST related
configurations, and callers just pass variables to make actual requests. How do
you think?
