As we approach the holiday season, it's time to release an update to Adjoovo Spaces (version 1.2.1). Mostly we've been tidying up some pieces and bug fixing but we've got at least one notable new feature which is worth a look.

If you've had a look at Spaces yourself perhaps you've seen the REST explorer in action. For a while now, we've supported importing WADL files – the REST equivalent to WSDL – and have a nice tree-based UI widget to help you understand the API it represents in a clear and structured way. Sometimes though, to properly understand something, it's much easier to actually use it and that was the rationale for creating our REST testing tool.

How to use it?

The pluggable filter/loader sub-system is responsible for extracting entities of interest from the target artifacts and storing them into the Spaces registry persistent store. It also discovers additional artifacts of interest that are logically related to the artifacts provided. The sub-system is designed to handle different artifact types, including network based artifacts and artifacts stored in archives. Finally the system is deigned to be extensible, allowing others to provide filters for extracting entity information from other types of meta-data files. The initial implementation will focus on the XSD and WSDL file types.

The Registry implements a simple, yet elegant two layer data model consisting of Entity and Property objects. Each metadata concept is represented in the Registry by an Entity. Each Entity has an ID that is unique in the context of the Registry instance. In addition, each Entity is associated with a Space and has a type and a name. The tuple Space, Type and Name is also unique within the Registry instance.
