[teiid-dev] REST Interface to TEIID

We have been wrestling with the best way to implement a RESTFul interface to a VDB. Here are the options we have come up with to date: 1. Create a hook to procedures to allow a mapping from HTTP verbs to procedures in a model within a VDB. This war would be generated from Designer and there would be one war per VDB. Example... if I have a procedure name rgetBooks() the procedure would map to a GET at URI=/books and would return all books (assuming that the procedure was written correctly) 2. Create a single war that would have pre-defined URIs for table access for any JDBC connection. Multiple connections could be supported within the same war based on the URI. The JNDI names would be entered by the user in a properties file or some analogous mechanism. Example URI=/{dbschema}/{catalog}/{table}?column1=value would return the record corresponding to "value" in the target table Procedures could also be supported in this manner. 3. Another option would be to generate the war discussed in option 2 from Designer to eliminate the need for the user to hand edit a properties file. There are pros and cons for all the options. 1 puts more onus on the user but 2/3 are definitely the more complicated solutions and they require intimate knowledge of the underlying metadata. Please respond with your feedback on these proposed solutions and feel free to add other alternatives. Thanks, Ted
