[gatein-dev] REST API Specification

[Nick Scavelli]

The initial draft of the REST API specification is available now 
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/GateInRESTAPISpecification. I tried to 
design it as RESTful as possible for now, and we can decide if some 
complexity that comes with REST is appropriate for the GateIn REST API. 
For example Twitter's REST API is fairly easy to understand, however 
some would not call it quite so "RESTful".

Also this specification conflicts with the stuff I've built for GateIn 
Management, especially the organization of the resources (pages, 
navigation, etc). However we should be in sync with how the Public Java 
API is going to expose these resources. For example if I can do 
api.getPages() as apposed to api.getSite().getPages() then Pages should 
be a "first class resource".

All feedback is welcome.
