[aerogear-dev] Specification for query RESTFul resources using offset, limit & total

[Bruno Oliveira]

Morning everybody.

Daniel has already implemented a lot of cool stuff on AeroGear controller for pagination. For this reason I created this Jira to see if the implementation matches our expectations on the client side (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AEROGEAR-814).

For example, currently the headers are returning something like it:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 160 AG-Paging-Offset: 0 AG-Paging-Limit: 4 AG-Paging-Total: 4 AG-Links-Next: cars?offset=1&limit=4 AG-Links-Last: cars?offset=3&limit=4 [ {"color":"Green","brand":"Audi","id":1}, {"color":"White","brand":"Audi","id":2}, {"color":"Black","brand":"Audi","id":3}, {"color":"Black","brand":"BMW","id":4} ] 



Question, do we really need AG-Links-Next and AG-Links-Last. If I know about the total and I have the fields limit and offset, looks like 'Next' and 'Last' are useless. Am I wrong? I was wondering about something like this http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Rest_api#Collection-resources-and-pagination
