Functions of PersonService
Hi,
I read the interface PersonService, but I'm not sure if I understand it or not.
I can't figure out which functions that PersonService gives us?
Could you tell me, pls?
Thank you very much.

By making these interfaces asynchronous shindig can dispatch multiple
requests in parallel. For example the data pipelining code executes
multiple calls in this way, greatly speeding up gadget rendering times.

Yeah, i understant this, i searched it on internet too. But, I don't understand why this process is asynchronous??? Why is it asynchronous?
A bit stupid question, but I really want to understand well everything.

THis is for concurrency.
take a look at this ( I grabbed it in the java.util.concurrrent package ) :
A Future represents the result of an asynchronous computation. Methods are
provided to check if the computation is complete, to wait for its
completion, and to retrieve the result of the computation. The result can
only be retrieved using method get when the computation has completed,
blocking if necessary until it is ready. Cancellation is performed by the
cancel method. Additional methods are provided to determine if the task
completed normally or was cancelled. Once a computation has completed, the
computation cannot be cancelled. If you would like to use a Future for the
sake of cancellability but not provide a usable result, you can declare
types of the form Future<?> and return null as a result of the underlying
task.

Can you explain me why we have to use Future<> in these methods of PersonService?
I want to understand well the advantage of Future<>.

You will need to glande a little bit through the API for that. here is a
short but not exaustive list:
for GroupId :(all ,deleted , friends , groupId , self)
for collectionOptions :
http://shindig.apache.org/shindig-1.1.x/apidocs/org/apache/shindig/social/opensocial/spi/CollectionOptions.html
and so one.
You need to make your own implementation so you are not obliged to handle
all different combinaison supposing you have control of the gadget and you
know what your gadget will be asking to the server.
Is this gives you more hints?

Yeah, i understand that i have to implement these methods. But, I don't understand which results they will return?
With each case, they will return different results, and I want to collect all cases possible. For example, I know, it's possible to get one profile of one user, profile of user's relation (friends, all, ..)... and so on (what's so on, I don't know)
So, I want to ask to list all functions of these methods.
I don't know if you understand what I mean?

Hi Vu,
I am not sure if I understand your question.
But let me give you what might be answer. You need to implements two
methods.
Future<Person> getPerson(UserId id, Set<String> fields, SecurityToken token)
and
Future<RestfulCollection<Person>> getPeople(Set<UserId> userIds, GroupId
groupId,
CollectionOptions collectionOptions, Set<String> fields, SecurityToken
token)
those methods will basically return people/person based on the certain
parameter you passed in which is : groupid, collectionOptions (filter, sort

Take a look at the samplecode in
org.apache.shindig.social.sample.spi.JsonDbOpensocialService.
