             Summary: Implement Virtualhost centric REST interface
                 Key: QPID-7563
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-7563
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Java Broker
    Affects Versions: qpid-java-6.2
            Reporter: Keith Wall


For use-cases where the Broker to hosts a shared service where different applications are assigned to be different virtual hosts the broker should offer the ability to manage these virtualhosts independently.  It should behave as if it were a chrooted prison.

AMQP Management already offers this ability.  The HTTP management interface should change to offer the same thing.

The REST API of a virtualhost will service the only virtualhost's subtree.  The formation of the service urls will reflect this structure.  {{/virtualhost}} will be analogous to {{//broker}} and will service the virtualhost root.  {{/queue/}} will serve all the queues defined on the virtualhost, {{/queue/<queuename>}} will serve only the names queue.

To offer the virtualhost service, the HTTPPort will be changed to support VirtualHostAliases.  As with an AMQPPort, with a HostNameAlias, a HTTP port will be capable of presenting an interface for any virtualhost whose name matches the hostname of the incoming request.  A new alias type will support a one to one mapping between port and virtualhost interface.

The scope of the work will be the REST API only.   Authentication will be performed by the preemptive authenticator - SASL won't be support yet.  Nor will offer services such as query, reports, metadata etc.
