[GeoNetwork-devel] Xml services to manage groups/users

Jose_Garcia1 · October 7, 2013, 8:17am

Hi

I want to add/change some services for group/user management:

xml.user.get → allow to retrieve by username (apart of by id as now)
xml.group.get → , group name (apart of id as now)

In the documentation for Xml group services is mentioned these service: xml.group.create.update and xml.group.remove, that doesn’t exists.

I would like to add them, been equivalent to the existing ones used in UI, but returning xml response instead of xml.

Also there’s now a service call xml.group.update, but it’s only used to update the translations of groups. So the group services would be like:

xml.group.update → Update/create a group returning xml response
xml.group.remove → Delete a group, returning xml response
xml.group.updatetranslations → Actual xml.group.update

With user services happen similar situation, not sure if xml.user.XXXX services existed in some old version or just the documentation was invalid. I would like to create these services, as calling the related services used in UI return html content.

Is this ok?

Regards,

Jose García

I had similar needs for the admin UI refactoring and created the following services for users and groups
https://github.com/geonetwork/core-geonetwork/blob/refactor_ui/web/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/config/config-service-admin-user-and-group.xml#L4

All services returned XML/JSON responses.

About naming, I think we should get rid of the “xml.” as services may return other format (like json when adding “@json” flag).
For the documentation, It could be good to move the doc to the service config file so it’s easier to maintain it.
I’ll try to be online for tomorrow IRC meeting so we can discuss that if needed.

Cheers.

Francois
