HTTP based API using REST architectural style

[Mathieu Lirzin]

Hello,

I have recently started a 5 month internship at Néréide
<https://nereide.fr/> during which I will work on implementing a HTTP
based API using REST architectural style for OFBiz.  Nicolas Malin will
be my mentor during this internship.

This work will be based on what has already been discussed in the
following discussions on dev [1] and the issue OFBIZ-4274 [2].

For now I don't know much about OFBiz internals and I am focusing on
studying REST.  I will make regular reports of the advancement of my work.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Welcome Mathieu,

It's great to see this initiative. For months, if not years, I have a Firefox REST tab groups with 35 tabs I collected.

I have not yet completely re-read all the references but I'll and will come back if I have something to add.

For now I simply wanted to give you this link which I think can be useful https://www.owasp.org/index.php/REST_Security_Cheat_Sheet

Cheers

Jacques

Here is a subset of the materials I have already read/seen:

  software architectures'. Addison-Wesley. University of California,
  Irvine Doctoral dissertation . 2000

- Roy Fielding et Richard Taylor 'Principled design of the modern Web
  architecture'. ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (TOIT), 2002,
  vol. 2, no 2, p. 115-150.
  https://www.ics.uci.edu/~taylor/documents/2002-REST-TOIT.pdf

  musings of Roy T. Fielding (2008): 24.

Indeed the security aspects are important, I will take a look.

Thanks for your feedback.
