[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (ARQ-232) Redesign Servlet protocol to use a REST API

[Dan Allen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-232?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12588806#comment-12588806 ] 

Dan Allen commented on ARQ-232:
-------------------------------

In general, it's just good from an architectural standpoint.

But it's also the key feature for allowing us to extend beyond Java. Once we have a clean way to control an Arquillian runtime running inside a deployment, we can bridge to any language on the server.

It would also allow tests to be run from other clients. For instance, a web client could run tests which are already packaged and ready to go, perhaps even a resident deployment. Then we can just use the REST API to run the tests.

> We should redesign the Servlet communication protocol to be more Rest api like. This will make it easier for humans to execute tests outside of the Arquillian Client and opens for other clients to communicate with the test.
