Re: [jboss-as7-dev] how to access the management model?
Hi Jason
thanks for the further insights!
There is an HTTP interface that can take requests in either JSON or
in
base64 encoded dmr binary format. We don't call it REST though because
"invoking" an arbitrary management operation (e.g. "clear auth
cache")
does not meet the REST purity definition.
hmm, to be honest I dont really understand why a RESTy semantic (ex.
post to or delete to the uri of the cache resource) would not allow this
operation. But I might miss something here since I do not have the same
background.
Keep in mind that the remote Java API will be the easiest to use from
Java, since it will handle all the transport stuff for you, and
exposes a nice API for working with detyped data. The main focus of
the HTTP interface is supporting non-Java clients (i.e. scripting
languages, and the console which is JavaScript based)
oh, looks like I missed this one. Guess using the java API would be the
better choice for me then. Is there any documentation about it?
Cheers
André
