Re: [ecf-dev] Re: Using ECF to connect to a session-based JSON-RPC service
|
Hi Cole,
If you create a new rest-based provider based upon this code, please
consider contributing back some documentation and/or code, reporting
bugs or desired enhancements for your use case (or even better making
those enhancements yourself)...or even just blogging about what you do
with it publicly. Given the resource limitations for ECF
project/committers, one of the hardest things is to get sufficient
documentation about the things that are already present in ECF...but
there's not good/sufficient documentation and therefore insufficient
awareness.
I have plans for an ECF book, but it's very likely that any such thing
will have to use 'crowdsourcing' to help create the documentation...i.e.
taking/aggregating contributions from the community, probably in the
form of wiki pages. That's one reason why I've tried to make more and
more docs about remote services, rest, etc available via the ECF wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/ECF
Some other comments inline below.

Scott,
Thanks for your reply, this was exactly what I was looking for.

Also...BTW...ECF SDK includes the org.json parser code (in the
org.json bundle), and we have test code that uses the twitter
API/json. So using json is done very easily...all necessary code is
there.
Yes, my colleague, Austin Riddle, is working on getting the org.json
bundle in orbit.
Yes, I'm aware of this. It's my intention to move the ECF build from
building/deploying the org.json code ourselves (what we are doing now),
to using the Orbit bundle before RC1. We just have not had an
opportunity to make this change to our build since the org.json bundle
was added to Orbit.
If this is unclear or more info desired...or more questions...please
move this discussion to ecf-dev at eclipse.org so that (more) others
can benefit. Go here to join the mailing list if you haven't already:
I guess the newsgroup I originally posted to is deprecated, I'll post
here in the future.
Actually the newsgroup is still alive...changing names of newsgroups
doesn't work very well, so ECF still has a newsgroup name that is:
eclipse.technology.ecf because we started out in the technology
project. We are now in the runtime project, but the old newsgroup is
still valid.
The reason it's better to post to ecf-dev is that there are more people
(both ECF committers and contributors, etc) who monitor/respond to
questions more regularly on the ecf-dev mailing list. But both the
newsgroup and mailing list are still valid.
Thanks,
Scott
