Agenda

1. Java client API ideas – see Strawperson API Design.

Minutes

Java Client

• Kernel API classes are a pretty good model, except for JCR and other internal classes in params and return types that need to be cut:
  
  • JCR Session
  • Identifier Translator
• The services seem a little cumbersome as a client, so perhaps a more focused grouping (as in the Strawman)
• Some work needs to be done to abstract/simplify certain calls
• Unknown User (escowles@ucsd.edu) wants to start working on the basic calls soon to complete local work
  • will set up a few base API classes and as interest builds we can more formalize process
• Eric James suggested a separation (like API-A and API-M) for the client
• Michael Durbin added that a read-only mode or client would be good.
