API

Accessing Nuxeo Services

Platform & API

SaaS model requires APIThis is the main entry point for nuxeo.io

Web frameworks rely on REST APIHtml 5, Mobile Apps, Portals

SOA and loose couplingWebServices, ESB, Auth

A good API is now more important than ever.

What is a good API?

API you can quickly understandREST is a nice pattern

REST is a good fit for Nuxeo use cases

ConsistencyProvide a consistent experience for the developers

Adapted to the real worldProvide concepts that match with current tools

Handle the complex use cases too

Easy to integrate applications together

But not easy to use with client side MVCResource should be the document and not the operation

Automation new Endpoints

Expose new REST EndpointsDocuments, Directories, Users, Tasks, Workflows
exposed as REST resources

Pure GET / POST/ PUT / DELETE bindings

Use Fragment model to expose all data in one callEnsure efficiency in data retrieval: ex: Document + links + Comments + tasks

Enable pluggability

Provide bridge with Command APIReuse existing and custom Operations

Automation new Endpoints

js : nuxeo.doc(path).fetch()
http: GET /nuxeo/api/path/{pathOfTheDoc} js : nuxeo.doc(id).fetch()
http: GET /nuxeo/api/id/{idOfTheDoc} js : nuxeo.doc(id).update({...})

Automation Infrastructure

Marshalling improvementssimpler management of complex properties

allow for custom JSON marshalling / business objects

Extend Blob managementseparate upload requests from processing requests

use Blobs as properties

Make API more consistentOperation and Chain become the same

Parameters vs Context resolution

Paginable objects

Fixing all known limitations of Command API

Automation Infrastructure

Batch management and long running transactions dedicated operations

new base classes for listeners or operations

Exception managementapply try/catch model to chains

DebuggingThrow clean Exception

Track operations and chain execution

Scripted OperationsEnable usage of restricted scripting

Adapt infrastructure to complex and nested chains

Automation Clients

Extend Java Nuxeo ClientMulti-threading

Upload/Download manager

REST client

Standardize nuxeo.jsJQuery / Angular, Node.js bindings

Standard TCK

Additional bindings on the wayPython (Drive), Php, Dart, .Net

iOS, Android

Interoperability

CMISContinue keeping the stack up to date

CXFMigrated JAX-WS stack on the server side

Integrate JAX-RS REST client in Automation

OAuth2 integrationOpenID integration

Make Nuxeo an OAuth2 Service Provider

Integrate inside Automation Client

Mule ESB Provide a Nuxeo Automation Connector

Configuration and Building Tools

Building Applications with Nuxeo Platform

Nuxeo Application Factory

Dependency management

More friendly with project lifecycle constraints

Configuring the Platform: Nuxeo Studio

Update Platform infrastructure to ensure configurabilityMore widgets, more layouts, more actions

Make all screens configurable

More workflow featuresSub workflow management

Studio Event HandlersGive access to all Listener and Worker settings

Long running transaction management from within Studio

Expose even more features to Studio configuration

Extending the Platform: Java Dev

Continue lower learning curveShorten dev / test cycleEnsure compatibility with API and build system

Nuxeo Runtime: learn from Eclipse Apricot and OSGiMigrate deployment-fragments plain extension points + War resources

Provide one single deployment modelIDE vs Studio vs Standard

Hot-reload via component stop/startuse Runtime to manage dependency graph

Extending the Platform: Java Dev

Nuxeo Web LayerInject Nuxeo Services in View ControllersMakes framework more consistent

Allows to track dependencies
