Hi Vojtech,
just one small remark to the oVirt.GWT wrapper.
Do you think it would be possible to replace
Sdk.get().api().getDataCenters() with
Sdk.api().getDataCenters() or even better yet with
Sdk.getDataCenters()
In general I think that "Flat is better than nested"
and I don't think
the collection names would introduce any collisions with the .services()
namespace so this should be a safe change.
Other than that I really like the current prototypes for both oVirt.js
and oVirt.GWT and I'm looking forward to future development.
Best regards
Martin

Subject: [ovirt-devel] oVirt.js GWT wrapper prototype
Hello everyone,
following the announcement of oVirt.js prototype, I've developed a sample
GWT wrapper that provides Java API to oVirt.js for all GWT applications.
Please find the GWT wrapper patch attached. It bundles oVirt.js & Lo-Dash
libraries via GWT module (SdkGwtWrapper) providing Java-like API based on
oVirt.js.
In order for WebAdmin to use oVirt.js GWT wrapper, all we have to do is
add following into WebAdmin.gwt.xml (GWT module descriptor):
<inherits name="org.ovirt.engine.sdk.gwt.SdkGwtWrapper" />
and add following into pom.xml (Maven project descriptor):
<dependency>
<groupId>${engine.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>ovirt-js-gwt-wrapper</artifactId>
<version>${engine.version}</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
and that's it.
The Java API takes inspiration from oVirt.js API. For example, to add
new DataCenter:
// Create data object template, 'name' and 'local' are required.
DataCenterTemplate dcTemplate = DataCenterTemplate.create(
"test-dc", // name
false // local
);
// Set optional parameters such as 'description', if necessary.
dcTemplate.setDescription("my-desc");
// Obtain DataCenter resource collection.
ResourceCollection<DataCenter> dcColl = Sdk.get().api().getDataCenters();
// Add new DataCenter by running 'add' operation on 'dcColl'.
dcColl.add(dcTemplate).success(new SuccessCallback<DataCenter>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(DataCenter dc) {
Window.alert("Added: " + dc.getName());
}
}).run();
The concept of resource, resource collection and operation is the same
as presented in oVirt.js.
dc.setName("test-dc-updated");
dc.setDescription("test")
dc.update().run(); // we could register 'success' callback here
You can see the full example by looking at SdkGwtWrapperTest class,
located in WebAdmin codebase (org.ovirt.engine.ui.webadmin.sdk_test).
Note that 'DataCenter' and 'DataCenterTemplate' will probably be
auto-generated from oVirt Engine REST API definition (XSD/RSDL).
As mentioned in my previous email, oVirt.js GWT wrapper ("overlay")
can be initially part of ovirt-engine repo, while oVirt.js project
deserves (in my opinion) a separate repo on its own.
Regards,
Vojtech
