Albums & MediaItems Implemented

[Eric Woods <wo...@gmail.com>]

Hi everyone,

I've implemented the Albums & MediaItems services in Apache Shindig and
uploaded a patch to JIRA: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-1410.
This includes the Handlers, Services, and implementing database as well as
the appropriate bindings.  I've done preliminary testing to ensure general
functionality (GET requests are working), but I haven't thoroughly tested
with formal test cases.

Please take a look, all feedback is welcome.

Thanks,
Eric W.

As a follow on to this post, part of the reason we are looking at media 
items/albums is to help align OpenSocial and CMIS. Here's a post that Eric 
put out on the OpenSocial Spec list:
http://groups.google.com/group/opensocial-and-gadgets-spec/browse_thread/thread/8640946fd0d5e260/e1637adc896c232d?show_docid=e1637adc896c232d

In the enterprise world, there's a number of scenarios that we've started 
coming across where customers will be using products that leverage both 
standards. In many of these scenarios, these are products from two 
different vendors, putting a premium on interoperability. We think it 
makes a bunch of sense to try and bring the programming models closer 
together. This creates a number of opportunities, including being able to 
use gadgets CMIS, as well as the OSAPI. (This also makes it very easy for 
customers to extend the platform by simply writing a gadget.) Profiles, 
activities (and ultimately activity streams), also complement CMIS as 
well, e.g. being able to easily get the profile for the person that is 
working with the document (viewer), and then posting an activity when they 
do something, e.g. update it.

There's a link to the wiki proposal that we are working towards for 
"OpenSocial 1.1 Next" as well. We're just getting started, but feel free 
to jump in and help.
