[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-3005) Convert the monitor into a real REST server

["Josh Elser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3005?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14229453#comment-14229453 ] 

Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-3005:
--------------------------------------

Been hacking on this some more. I was able to lift the resources and annotated classes from previously into a version that works with Jersey, Jackson and Grizzly

https://github.com/joshelser/accumulo/tree/jersey-monitor

Need to address some minor semantic issues in the resources, but that won't be too bad. I need to start looking how to replace the HTML renderings which is the big unknown presently. Looking at https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/mvc.html, but I need to figure out what sounds the best. Would using the "standard" JSP be easiest?

Switching over from embedded Jetty to Grizzly has been nice, but I'm not sure of the technical reasons for choosing one over the other. I mainly used Grizzly because it worked and I had some examples I could leverage from Jersey. Any info would be appreciated.

> The monitor works well for what it does, but it's very much so cobbled together. HTML is hand generated. Static state is used liberally which makes testing near impossible. View and controller logic are tightly intertwined which also adds to the testability problem.
> I've been working on porting the functionality from the existing monitor to a proper rest service using [dropwizard|https://dropwizard.github.io/dropwizard/]. It's not completely functional yet, but it has a number of improvements of the existing monitor code.
> I thought I would post what I have already and let people give some feedback if they're interested. Help is always welcome. https://github.com/joshelser/accumulo/tree/dropwizard.
