| [ecf-dev] Request for Example/tutorial code review |
|
Hi Folks, In the interest of getting the ball rolling on Pablo's recent request to improve ECF documentation, I've added this doc bug/enhancement [1]. It's intended to be a short tutorial to create an ECF remote service provider for the ITimeService...using a simple http/REST+JSON based protocol. As given in the bug description at [1], we already have three very small/simple plugins that implement both a host and client provider for the ITimeService. Yesterday, I modified them to a) simplify them as much as I could...fewer classes/smaller code, more comments in source b) change them to use JSON for marshalling/serialization rather than object serialization c) change the http post to http get...for getCurrentTime method What I would ask of you: Please take a look at the source code in these three projects and make any suggestions for further simplification and/or source code comments needed for clarification...and place any such comments on bug [1]. I will use people's comments on [1] to make further code improvements and docs...and as a guide to what to focus on in the tutorial prose (which I have not created yet). Also: I'm open to suggestions as to how to relate this tutorial to Wim/Markus' existing talk/docs...using the ITimeService (in addition to the article I created previously [2]). Thanks, Scott [1] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=423228 [2] http://www.eclipse.org/community/eclipse_newsletter/2013/july/article3.php |
