Ernest Burghardt updated GEODE-10007: ------------------------------------- Parent: (was: GEODE-10003) Issue Type: Improvement (was: Sub-task) > Make o.a.geode.cache.internal.HttpService SPI part of the non-internal, > public API > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GEODE-10007 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-10007 > Project: Geode > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: John Blum > Priority: Minor > > The {{HttpService}} interface is defined and used as a _Service Provider > Interface_ (SPI) inside Apache Geode and even loaded as such with _Java's_ > {{ServerLoader}} > ([Javadoc|https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/17/docs/api/java.base/java/util/ServiceLoader.html]) > class in order to locate and load provider implementations. > An SPI is not much good if "providers" are not allowed to "provide" an > implementation of the service interfaces used to extend or customize Apache > Geode. A proper SPI affords any application, framework, tool or product a > degree of extensibility and flexibility, applied by users without > intervention by being able to "provide" a custom implementation or extension > as needed by the application, framework, tool or product. > 1 such example would be to be able to supply a Jakarta EE 9 (specification) > compliant implementation of an embedded HTTP server (e.g. Jetty, Tomcat or > even Undertow) used by Geode to bootstrap the embedded HTTP service hosting > the Geode provided Web apps (e.g. Pulse, Management/Admin REST API, Developer > REST API) when external hosting is not an option. Of course, these Apache > Geode provided, internal Web apps need to be updated as well (to use the new > Jakarta EE 9 specs). > There are other examples of SPIs used in Apache Geode, which are part of the > non-internal, public API. > For example, the > [ServerLaucherCacheProvider|https://geode.apache.org/releases/latest/javadoc/org/apache/geode/distributed/ServerLauncherCacheProvider.html] > interface, with 1 such > [implementation|https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/geode/docs/current/api/org/springframework/data/gemfire/support/SpringServerLauncherCacheProvider.html] > provided by _Spring Data for Apache Geode_ (SDG) itself, is highly useful > and valuable in certain configuration arrangements. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.7#820007)
