REST Technology / Code

Technology: After a technology comparison we have decided to focus on Spring MVC + Spring HATEOAS to build a REST API primary focus on JSON HAL.
The original discussion around the considered technologies is still available
Source Code:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master/dspace-spring-rest
At the current stage it is very experimental and can change dramatically as the work progress. Once stable enough it will be merged in the master.
Mockups of JSON HAL output are at https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/hal-jsonapi-comparison/tree/master/hal
Tasks / Tickets:
We've begun creating tasks under the "REST API v7" component in JIRA
These tasks are also available via a Kanban board (requires being logged in to JIRA): https://jira.duraspace.org/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=33&projectKey=DS&quickFilter=70

REST Contract

https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract
Earlier brainstorms/discussion is also archived at REST API Contract (endpoints, functionalities, behaviour, etc.)

Install DSpace 6, create some communities, collections and archive some items. As DSpace 7 is still work in progress it will be good to have some test material in place.
Shutdown you servlet container and undeploy all previous DSpace UIs
Compile the current master (https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/tree/master) and run ant update as usual
Deploy the webapp dspace-spring-rest as dspace-spring-rest (if you use another path, you may want to change the index.html file withing the webapp)
Start your servlet container and take a look into its logfiles
- If you have problems deploying the webapp in cause for slf4j and log4j, it may be necessary to delete [dspace]/webapps/spring-rest/WEB-INF/lib/slf4j-log4j12-1.7.22.jar
Test if dspace-spring-rest was loaded successfully by opening it in a browser. You can compare it to the demo linked above.
Install dspace-angular. You can try it as described in the OR2017 DSpace Angular Workshop or take a look into the Readme.md in the dspace-angular git repository.
