Re: [rules-users] KIE-WB, Drools-WB Authoring REST api

If you really need a programatic CRUD with a GIT access abstracted, you can use the VFS API.

I would see providing a CRUD api as a helpful feature as this would provide a single place for asset management. Having access via GIT is fine, but then I have to sync the repo location (changes, renames, deletes) and the GIT VFS implementation is touted to be pluggable, so asset management with a custom VFS provider could become a real pain. This might be an edge use case as not everyone needs to provide a custom-ui and run the wb at the same time, however, I still think it's a valid one, especially if you think about native mobile apps. > > Anyway, keep up the good work. > > Cheers, Alex > > > > Am 12.08.2013 um 19:42 schrieb Mark Proctor <mproctor(a)codehaus.org&gt;: > >> >> On 12 Aug 2013, at 18:28, Alexander Herwix <alex(a)herwix.com&gt; wrote: >> >>> Hey guys, >>> >>> I really love the new wb-apps, but documentation is really pretty sparse right now, so maybe you guys can help me out :) >>> >>> Is there any documentation on the authoring REST-Api? I have already asked on the jbpm forum, where they said that there should be one but that it's not documented yet. I have found some repository, group stuff exposed (drools-wb-rest), process-execution (jbpm) but no real asset authoring. >> >>> >>> The reason I need this access, is to use the kie-wb in parallel to my own gui with the kie-wb as admin interface. I know there have been improvements with user-extendable editors via uberfire and GWT but with the level of documentation as it is right now, I can't make that dive now. But with my data already in the wb it should be trivial to port my user-facing gui in the future if the need should arise. >> We will not being doing any rest CRUD apis; although there are other rest api's for administration stuff. As this is just git a variety of git apis exist for every platform already. We have however done a java nio2 back port (api copy, with namespace change), vfs that works with GIT remotely.

Is this possible with the upcoming droolsjbpm 6 release? Could anyone provide at least rudimentary documentation of (all) the REST APIs? It would really help if there would be at least a unified feature list of what to expect in open APIs of the kie-wb (so for jbpm as well as drools). >> We don't ned to provide docs for how GIT works, but we will provide docs on the rest apis we do support - just nothing yet.
