Further REST enhancements for 2.0.0
Hi all, I have just opened SYNCOPE-694 and SYNCOPE-695 for providing further enhancements to REST interface: the former for (long-overdue) turning POST-based updates into more compliant PATCH and PUT and the latter, inspired by OData, for providing attribute-based operations. WDYT? -- Francesco Chicchiriccò Tirasa - Open Source Excellence http://www.tirasa.net/ Involved at The Apache Software Foundation: member, Syncope PMC chair, Cocoon PMC, Olingo PMC http://people.apache.org/~ilgrosso/
[jira] [Created] (SYNCOPE-695) REST endpoints for attribute CRUD
Francesco Chicchiriccò created SYNCOPE-695:
--
Summary: REST endpoints for attribute CRUD
Key: SYNCOPE-695
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-695
Project: Syncope
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Francesco Chicchiriccò
Fix For: 2.0.0
Currently AnyService (and its derivative, providing REST services for users,
groups and any objects) defines CRUD methods for the whole entities, e.g.
allows to create, update, read and delete users, groups and any objects.
Inspired by the OData standard, new REST endpoints can be defined so that the
following calls are allowed.
{code}
GET /users/157/PLAIN
{code}
Returns the list of plain attributes for user 157 ({{DERIVED}} and {{VIRTUAL}}
can also be used) with values.
{code}
GET /users/157/PLAIN/firstname
{code}
Returns the list of values for the {{firstname}} plain attribute of user 157.
{code}
PUT /users/157/PLAIN/firstname
{code}
Adds or replaces the list of values for the {{firstname}} plain attribute of
user 157.
{code}
DELETE /users/157/PLAIN/firstname
{code}
Removes the plain attribute {{firstname}} from user 157.

[jira] [Created] (SYNCOPE-694) PATCH and PUT update for users, groups and any objects
Francesco Chicchiriccò created SYNCOPE-694:
--
Summary: PATCH and PUT update for users, groups and any objects
Key: SYNCOPE-694
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SYNCOPE-694
Project: Syncope
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Francesco Chicchiriccò
Assignee: Francesco Chicchiriccò
Fix For: 2.0.0
Currently {{AnyService}} (and its derivative, providing REST services for
users, groups and any objects) defines the update method as follows:
{code}
@POST
@Path("{key}")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
@Consumes({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
Response update(@NotNull MOD anyMod);
{code}
where {{MOD extends AnyMod}}.
The idea is to move to a definition like as follows:
{code}
@PATCH
@Path("{key}")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
@Consumes({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
Response update(@NotNull P anyPatch);
{code}
e.g. to more REST-compliant patch-based update.
This has the additional benefit of simplifying the interaction with clients
(JavaScript, in particular) not based on {{syncope-client}} Java library.
It could also be useful to add a second update method as follows:
{code}
@PUT
@Path("{key}")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
@Consumes({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
Response update(@NotNull TO anyTO);
{code}
where {{TO extends AnyTO}}.
This latter would allow to build simpler create / update interactions for
clients based on {{syncope-client}} Java library.
