Hi Randall,
thanks for the update. I will take a look later today and keep you posted.

Hi guys,
I've taken a break on researching JS frameworks to have a look at
implementing a REST-based API on Kalumet that the JS app would interface
with.
The attached patch contains a new Kalumet module called console2, which
is meant to exist alongside the existing console module. I took this
approach so as to be able to prove the concepts of a REST API using the
Jersey reference implementation of JAX-RS without impacting the
remainder of the Kalumet code base. That way, if it doesn't work out,
it's easily removed.
Key points to consider...
* I have not modified the master POM at this stage (apart from adding
reference to the console2 module), so all dependencies have been
defined in console2 POM.
* The solution is based on the Jersey JAX-RS reference implementation
to deliver the REST services
* Only the User API done at this stage, but fully CRUD functional.
* Security filter in place but not implemented
* Includes full Junit testing of the services to a memory-based container
* Took a bit of work to get this going, but now that the foundations
are set, remaining services will be relatively easy.
* Whatever JS app is used will fit into the console2 structure (and
resulting WAR file), so when the app is done it will be easy to
replace the current console implementation.
Time to get some feedback from you guys before I spend any more time on
it... what do you think of what I've done?
I'm also curious if the Junit tests will run under the Kalumet CI...
I'll have to eventually set up a test environment if I end up being part
of this.
cheers -- Randall
