[jira] [Commented] (OODT-562) API addition for File Manager: Parent and Element editing for Product Types

["Chris A. Mattmann (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-562?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13618409#comment-13618409 ] 

Chris A. Mattmann commented on OODT-562:
----------------------------------------

Varun: I read through this patch. I actually feel that these functionality would be better placed in the CAS curator component.
Then I think that we could build and extend CAS curator REST services to deal with this.

This would have the advantage of:

* Not changing the XML-RPC interface (most of the work we do now is in JAX-RS services -- more people are interested in working on that, than XML-RPC, which we'd like to probably lock down for the moment since so many things are built on top of them)
* Changing the XML-RPC interface would probably require a bunch of unit tests -- which I'm tentative to write and don't exist in the provided patch.
* The Curator is the logical place for policy editing/management to go and a REST interface that exposes some of this functionality would be better served there.

I'll try and take a crack soon at modifying this patch to be housed in Curator. And/or you can do the same.

Thanks!
