OpenFlexo http services

OpenFlexo HTTP project

This project adds to OpenFlexo HTTP capabilities. It includes:

• an HTTP server which is able to serve:
  • all resources and specific API for each technology adapter and
  • FML models as dynamic APIs.
• an HTTP technology adapter to connect to HTTP services via ReST or XML-RPC APIs,

HTTP Server

The HTTP server is a service that starts an HTTP server (based on Vert.x) with 2 distinct capabilities:

• serving all accessible resources and technology adapter specific models: the federation server.
• serving API described using FML model acting as contracts: the chameleon server.

Federation server

This part of the OpenFlexo HTTP server is defined by the OpenFlexo community and provides a ReST API to access to resources and technology adapter specific models.

Documentation:

• Getting Started to get started with the server and it's capabilities.
• API Description describes the server REST API.
• Complement Technology Adapter presents the server extension capabilities.
• Demo Server

TODO:

• Resources
• Connie service using WebSockets
• Technology adapters:
  • FML and FML@RT
  • Gina
  • Diana
  • ...

Chameleon server

The chameleon server allows an OpenFlexo user create an HTTP API by defining a contract using FML.

Not started yet.

HTTP Technology Adapter

The HTTP technology adapter provides the capability to connect a distant HTTP API and access it throught VirtualModel and FlexoConcept instances. An HTTP model slot is configured with a VirtualModel acting as a contract where abstract properties, HTTP properties and HTTP behaviours are resolve using HTTP connections.

TODO:

• HTTP ModelSlot
• Simple abstract properties
• Behaviours to retreive instances
• Properties to retreive instances
• Several response format:
  • JSON
  •  XML
•  HTTP Methods
  • GET
  • POST
  •  PUT
  • UPDATE / PATCH
  • DELETE
