Re: [orion-dev] Communicating to outside servers

[Paul Webster <pwebster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Orion uses the servlet approach.  I.e. the JS client asks the orion server to clone the git repo, and the java server does the work.  I think they're suggesting you have a servlet on the orion server so you can make REST calls to the orion server and have it reach out to the outside server (or maybe on the server that hosts the plugin?).

Hello,

I am writing a plugin and running it using the "convert to self-hosting" option. The plugin creates a new project using metadata it receives from another server. I was able to make orion create the files and folders using orion's File and Workspace api. The problem I am running into now is getting the data from the outside server, I run into CORS error when making REST calls, the people running the server tell me that the server is configured to accept calls from any where but that I should consider using a servlet in this specific scenario. I was wondering if there was something in the orion API that could help me with this, or if there are steps when approaching a problem like this. I know that GIT does this since it needs to communicate with the git servers, but I can not find the logic in the js source code. Thanks.
