Hi all,
I see a discussion on the Lyo & Lyo Designer capabilities when it comes to Clients.
If it helps, Here’s a quick overview of what is currently available:
Most client functionalities are actually quite well developed in the Client SDK library. It helps you with getting Catalogs, Service Providers, discover services, etc.
For this reason, the current Lyo Designer only produces a simple class that demonstrates how to connect to that Client library. (just to get a catalog). The rest should be relatively
easy to do, so I could not motivate generating code for.
The pains in developing a Client, to which Lyo Designer has developed support is:
·
Producing the Java POJO resource classes that reflect your domain resources
·
Producing html/_javascript_ code for the Selection & Creation Dialogs. The code is embedded into the debugger pages of an adaptor, so one can understand how DelegatedUIs are
meant to be integrated.
An idea: Swagger produces client code for REST services in many languages/platforms. Would it be valuable to produce a swagger specification of an OSLC server? From that, one can obtain
the desired clients for any language.
A swagger documentation can be produced from the JAX-RS annotations, so maybe the step is not big to do this.
Regards

Chat transcript from room: oslc
[13:59] Martin Sarabura (PTC): Minutes from previous meeting: https://wiki.oasis-open.org/oslc-core/Meetings/Telecon2018.03.08
[14:05] Nick Crossley (IBM): Nick to scribe
[14:05] Nick Crossley (IBM): Minutes accepted
[14:06] Nick Crossley (IBM): Action Items:<<BR>> [14:07] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin - Schedule for Core specs - suggests waiting for v3 implementation from PTC (open source), since that would be a good thing to have as a reference implementation
[14:08] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: that v3 implementation (without attachments) would help convey momentum, forward progress, etc. for pubic announcements - reinvigorating OSLC, etc.
[14:08] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: current schedule for this v3 implementation is mid July
[14:09] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: sample domains would include RM and CM
[14:09] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: hopefully this would be a good basis for other domains / implementations
[14:10] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: asked about client - lightweight to exercise basic functionality?
[14:11] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: the PTC implementation has support for discovery. Clients should have some caching mechanism - where that will live is not yet clear.
[14:12] Jim Amsden: Client - discovery, creation/selection dialogs, resource preview, HTML representation of resource - very similar to Lyo designer - would be desirable
[14:12] Jim Amsden: OSLC query?
[14:12] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: PTC implementation is a server, can act as proxy for real data provider.
[14:12] Jim Amsden: TRS provider/consumer?
[14:13] Nick Crossley (IBM): MartinL OSLC Query - yes, will be supported
[14:13] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: TRS - probably not
[14:15] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: suggests the implementation team review the Lyo Designer, to see client code
[14:17] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: we should also start to line up two other implementations to reference for standard status, so we are ready to work toward that after July - with a possible goal of November.
[14:17] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: Should look at OSLC 2 implementations - and at mixing OSLC 2 clients with v3 servers, and/or vice versa.
[14:18] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: Lyo Designer generates v2 clients.
[14:19] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: It would be interesting to see if we can get some effort to add the capability to generate v3 clients in Lyo Designer.
[14:19] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: Also interesting to see how we could add config management - would we want to do that with the current Lyo code base, which might be considered too heavyweight.
[14:20] Nick Crossley (IBM): Action Item: Jim to finish submitting updates to core
[14:20] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: Still working on that - hopes to have good progress soon.
[14:21] Nick Crossley (IBM): Jim: changes amount to substantive changes, requiring a new public review.
[14:21] Nick Crossley (IBM): Martin: So we will need a committee review and vote, etc.
[14:21] Nick Crossley (IBM): Action Items: TRS spec.
[14:22] Nick Crossley (IBM): Nick: No progress this week.
[14:31] Nick Crossley (IBM): Nick: will work with Axel to make progress. Will raise issue on rebase/change log handling, to suggest keeping change events for X days behind previous cutoff. May also rise issue on extending use of ETags.
[14:31] Nick Crossley (IBM): Nick: ran out of time to discuss action item on config management skew resolution.
