Subject: Re: [xdi] How to get from =markus/+email to the actual data
Hello, one simple question regarding the subject "$" in the statement
$/$get//=markus/+email
is "$" referring to the authority which originates this message? E.g. if I'd be that authority, would the above statement be the same as
=giovanni/$get//=markus/+email
?
Thanks,
Giovanni

Hello XDI TC,
Someone asked me a question about the XDI4j library in Higgins and about
how XDI endpoints relate to XRI resolution. So I put together some commented
sample code which uses OpenXRI and XDI4j:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/XDI4j_Tutorial_6
The task is, given an XRI such as =markus/+email and nothing else, how do
you actually find and read the value (the e-mail address)?
Step by step, the code does the following:
1. It resolves the authority part of the XRI (=markus) using standard XRI
resolution with an XDI service type, i.e. it looks for an XDI endpoint in
the i-name's XRD.
2. After discovering that endpoint, it prepares and sends an XDI message
which looks like this:
$
$get
/
=markus
3. The XDI endpoint answers with the statement that matches the $get query:
=markus
"markus.sabadello@gmail.com"
4. In the end, the code prints out the literal from that statement.
In total, a few simple lines of actually working code that should
demonstrate how XRI and XDI work together.
