Rest API redesign ----------------- Key: ISPN-8535 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-8535 Project: Infinispan Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Server Affects Versions: 9.2.0.Final Reporter: Gustavo Fernandes Assignee: Gustavo Fernandes Priority: Major Fix For: 10.0.0.Final Infinispan REST API deals with only one resource, (the cache) and maps all operations on the cache using HTTP verbs and request parameters. The API assumes the URI is related to the cache making it hard to add new kinds of resources without causing ambiguous references. Since we now have other types of entities, such as counters, scripts, templates, etc, and each one of them can involve different operations, we should make the API more "Restful" by using more than one resource and collections of resources, plus HTTP verbs and operations on them. Examples: * Create a cache: POST /rest/caches * Delete a cache: DELETE /rest/caches/myCache * Create a template: POST /rest/templates * Delete a template: DELETE /rest/templates/myTemplate * Create an entry: POST /rest/caches/myCache/1 * Create a counter: POST /rest/counters * Get a counter value: GET /rest/counters/mycounter * Increment a counter: GET /rest/counters/mycounter?action=increment * Search a cache: GET /rest/caches/myCache?action=search * Create a script: POST /rest/scripts/ * Get a script source: GET /rest/scritps/myScript * Execute a script: GET /rest/scripts/myScript?action=execute&param1=foo
