Re: [ecf-dev] tutorial idea: OSGi remote services for existing services
|
Hi Folks,
I've been working on the example code for this tutorial, and the latest
is available on github [1].
As I said below, I found a small bug in the rest client code that had to
be addressed [2] and I've since fixed this bug, and added a couple of
'builder' classes to simplify the construction of the association
between the RSA-constructed remote service proxy and the REST request
creation, execution, and response handling.
The upshot is that I would like to propose that we have another
maintenance release before the end of 2014 to pick up these fixes and
small additions, so that when I finish the tutorial ECF Remote Services
impl will fully support it.
Any objections to maintenance release (3.9.2) this month? I was
thinking perhaps Dec 22nd to make an early Christmas gift. :)
Thanks,
Scott

I've created a new github repo for the Geonames Timezone example I've
been working on. The bundles so far are (in bundles directory):
1. org.geonames.timezone - declares the Geonames timezone API as an
OSGi service interface called ITimezoneService
2. org.eclipse.ecf.provider.geonames.timezone.client - An ECF Remote
Services provider using the ECF Rest API and JSON parser to make the
REST call and process the server's JSON response.
I've also begun the creation of two consumer bundles to test the above
provider
3. org.eclipse.ecf.geonames.timezone.consumer - A very simple consumer
which finds (via ServiceTracker) ITimezoneService proxies and then
calls the ITimezoneService.getTimezone/2 method on the added proxy.
4. org.eclipse.ecf.geonames.timezone.consumer.edef = A very simple
EDEF bundle, containing the EDEF to discover the Geonames timezone
service, with RSA then creating the ITimezoneService proxy.
Over the next week, I'm going to write a short tutorial that shows
particularly the code in org.geonames.timezone (remote service API)
and org.eclipse.ecf.provider.geonames.timezone.client (REST Client
Remote Services ECF provider)
In testing this code unfortunately I discovered an oversight bug in
the RestClientService class from the changeover from httpclient 3.3 to
4.X. See [2] for details. To get this new example to work, this fix
has to be in place in the runtime, meaning that we will need to
produce 3.9.2 release for people to be able to successfully run the
timezone example themselves. We can discuss the timing of 3.9.2
creation and release relative to other things that committers and
contributors are currently working on.
If people have comments about any of this, would like to
help/contribute on this example, or would like to suggest specific
things to focus on for the wiki tutorial, please say so here, produce
a pull request, or contact me directly to coordinate on the tutorial.
Thanks,
Scott
