[Building Sakai] resources entity Broker development

[Matthew Hall]

I have attached our current Resources provider implementation. It is a work in progress, but this represents the latest "stable" code. Take a look at the text file in the archive for the needed Spring bean registration. Currently, the provider returns a listing of the content in Resources and must be called for a specific site as follows: /direct/resource/context/<siteid>.{xml,json,jsonp}

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.

Cheers,
Matthew

Yes please we would love to share. I know Marc has built some code from bits and pieces of other people work that is now kind of working but you stuff could also be useful.

Hi Adam,



At UVA, we have a Resources entity provider that produces a hierarchical nested representation of the Resources content for a single site. Specifically, its output resembles the following XML. The primary limitation of our provider is that it is read-only; there is currently no way of uploading or manipulating content using our provider, although that functionality is in active development.



Our provider was loosely based on some of the logic in IU's provider (Sakai JIRA SAK-20698) but is otherwise a separate project. I am not familiar with the work in SAK-21211 nor with Citations. We would be glad to talk about sharing our provider code if it looks like it would be of use.
