[Geoserver-devel] Strange behavior with the GeoServer REST

Nuno_Oliveira1 · September 28, 2017, 4:16pm

Hi all,
something doesn’t look right with GeoServer REST.

First the GWC end-points seem to be indexed and prefixed with EST ? Not sure what EST stands for:

est
est/diskquota
est/layers
est/masstruncate
est/seed.json
est/statistics
Then when accessing the other REST end-points or I get a NPE, a 404 error or I get the correct result
this seems be a bit random … and I can’t see why this is happening.

Is anyone else experiencing this ?

Regards,

Nuno Oliveira

Hi Nuno,
I can confirm at least for the GWC endpoints that there are issues. I’m currently working on Swagger docs for those endpoints and they should look like:

~/geoserver/

gwc/rest
gwc/rest/diskquota
gwc/rest/layers
gwc/rest/masstruncate
gwc/rest/seed.json
gwc/rest/statistics
As for the other endpoints I’m unsure of at the moment.

Found the issue. Definately a bug in IndexController - it just blindly trims off the first four characters (normally “rest”) of the path when constructing the index.
I don’t think the original rest index included the gwc endpoints - is this something we want to have included?

Hi Nuno,

What GeoServer version are you seeing this behavior on? master, 2.12-beta, 2.12-RC1, something else?

I would guess that ‘est’ is ‘rest’ missing the ‘r’, but that definitely seems wrong.

Testing it out on 2.12-beta, I see the same behavior looking at the index page. If I click on any of the ‘est’ links I get a 404 though, and the expected links work fine. So, this looks like a bug in how the index page handles the new GeoWebCache rest links.

I’ve got a simple fix for the GeoWebCache issue here: https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/pull/2547
In the interests of a prompt release, I’ve just excluded the geowebcache endpoints (which is the same way the old index page worked).

And I’ve made a bug report for it here: https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/browse/GEOS-8308

I suppose it depends on whether we want to consider the GWC REST API a subset of the GeoServer REST API, or a separate API within the application.

Given it’s /gwc/rest rather than /rest/gwc it seems to make more sense to keep them separate.

Traditionally they were separated but I don't really see a good reason to,

I agree it shouldn’t be a release blocker. Since GeoServer and GWC have different rest entrypoints (/rest vs /gwc/rest), it might be an idea to have different sections for them in the index page. At the very least, a little thought should be put into presentation.

Hi all, wanted to throw my two cents in about the IndexController. The
IndexController currently builds the list of links from a private method
inside of the IndexController, which makes it impossible to extend,
override, or append to. Any logic or code that produces dynamic content
should really not be inside of a controller, as the controller should only
serve to define the interface or entry point to the code base. That being
said, I would recommend another service class (something like
RestIndexUrlService) that is responsible for building the links that get
generated for the REST index page.

The only endpoints currently displayed on the page are those discovered from
Spring MVC's RequestMappingHandlerMapping. It would be nice to provide an
interface such as "RestIndexUrlProvider" that defines a single method
"Set<String> getLinks();". The RestIndexUrlService could potentially call
"GeoServerExtensions.extension(RestIndexUlrProvider)" to get all objects
that implement the interface then aggregate all of the results in a new
Set<String> that gets returned to the index controller.
This would allow other extensions or plugins the ability to provide their
own endpoints to be displayed on the page without the need for them to be
implemented via Spring, without the odd possibility that they aren't in the
same web context as the IndexController itself, or to provide any other
customization that may be necessary.

The list of endpoints on the rest page have grown quite a bit. To take it
one step further, instead of providing Set of strings with urls, the page
could be updated to group related links under some sort of category, ie, GWC
endpoints would all appear under a GWC header element. In that case, the
RestIndexUrlProvider would define a Map<String, String> vs a Set, where the
key is the "title" and the value is the URL path.

None of this obviously is a release blocker, but it seems it would be a very
nice improvement and I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Cheers

Josh
