Summary: JMAP RFC-8621 : Back-reference resolution
Key: JAMES-3365
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-3365
Project: James Server
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JMAP
Reporter: Benoit Tellier
Assignee: Antoine Duprat
## Why
https://jmap.io/spec-core.html#references-to-previous-method-results
To allow clients to make more efficient use of the network and avoid round
trips, an argument to one method can be taken from the result of a previous
method call in the same request.
Example:
{code:java}
[[ "Foo/changes", {
"accountId": "A1",
"sinceState": "abcdef"
}, "t0" ],
[ "Foo/get", {
"accountId": "A1",
"#ids": {
"resultOf": "t0",
"name": "Foo/changes",
"path": "/created"
}
}, "t1" ]]
{code}
`back references` that mean server will reuse the result of a previous method
call in the same request.
Process is:
- When processing a method call, the server MUST first check the arguments
object for any names beginning with **#**.
- If found, the result reference should be resolved and the value used as the
“real” argument.
- If any result reference fails to resolve, the whole method MUST be rejected
with an **invalidResultReference** error.
- If an arguments object contains the same argument name in normal and
referenced form (e.g., foo and #foo), the method MUST return an
**invalidArguments** error.
A **ResultReference** object has the following properties:
- **resultOf**: String The method call id (see Section 3.1.1) of a previous
method call in the current request.
- **name**: String The required name of a response to that method call.
- **path**: String A pointer into the arguments of the response selected via
the name and resultOf properties. This is a JSON Pointer, except it also allows
the use of * to map through an array (see the description below).
## How
https://github.com/linagora/james-project/pull/3683 demonstrated a proof of
concept doing JSON substitution within the method arguments (relying on
play-JSON JSON transformers) before the actual processing start
This makes back-reference resolution completly orthogonal to the Methods being
written.
## Definition of Done
Write some simple memory integration tests demonstrating back-references are
resolved. Also test back-reference resolution failure.
