Client JAR for FEDORA Server Access
At OhioLINK we've reached the conclusion that coding would be easier if we created a modestly robust JAR file that is an implementation of the AXIS-based web services interface to a FEDORA server. Our initial effort is ready for public consumption; you can check it out of our Subversion repository at:
http://drc-dev.ohiolink.edu/svn/FedoraClientJar/trunk
The JavaDocs are available at:
http://drc-dev.ohiolink.edu/javadoc/FedoraClientJar/
If you ask the OhioLINK team, they'll tell you that the API has undergone significant changes in its young life, but I think it will settle down now. Some features:
- The client library and nothing but the client library (distinguished from the core developer's client library in that there is no Swing presentation code mixed in).
- Good embedded JavaDocs for all packages, classes and methods. (Some of the descriptive and proscriptive elements could be better, and will probably improve with age.)
- A single class that contains both API-A and API-M remote methods.
- A class that helps with searching the Resource Index through the REST interface. (It only implements the "find tuples" returning results as a CSV stream at the moment.)
- A factory-based method for instantiating classes that hopefully will be extensible and easy to use.
To Dos:
- Implementing mock interfaces for the methods to enable unit testing of client application code without needed to start a FEDORA server. (The stubs for this are already in the packages.)
- JUnit tests of the "Live" interfaces against a pre-configured FEDORA server.
- Adding a class to help with searching the native FEDORA index (and probably Gert's General Fedora Search Plug-in as well).
- Adding more helper methods (such as use of the file-upload servlet).
I'm also toying with adding JavaBeans and DAO pattern classes as well. If someone already has these in a client-side implementation and would be willing to offer them to this code library, our team (and probably many others) would appreciate it.
Comments and code contributions are welcome.
