[jira] Commented: (WOOKIE-8) Categories for widgets

["Scott Wilson (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WOOKIE-8?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12738904#action_12738904 ] 

Scott Wilson commented on WOOKIE-8:
-----------------------------------

The WidgetType class is used to relate a Widget to a WidgetService (category); currently this is only exposed through the GET {wookie}/widgetinstances  method to retrieve the default widget for a given service. 

We can implement a browse on this in two ways:

GET {wookie}/widgets/{category_name}

or

GET {wookie}/services/{service_name}

It should be easy enough to implement both; as noted in the original description the representations returned should be consistent with the Widget "advertise" request.

> When there are alot of widgets, it might be a good idea to be able to organise them into a set of pre-defined categories. That way a nice browsing interface can be made where users can look for widgets that might be useful to them. The category/categories that the widget falls under should be included in the xml definitions returned from the advertise servlet.
