OpenFlexo HTTP project

This project adds to OpenFlexo HTTP capabilities. It includes:

an HTTP server which is able to serve:
- all resources and specific API for each technology adapter and
- FML models as dynamic APIs.
an HTTP technology adapter to connect to HTTP services via ReST or XML-RPC APIs,

HTTP Server

The HTTP server is a service that starts an HTTP server (based on Vert.x) with 2 distinct capabilities:

serving all accessible resources and technology adapter specific models: the federation server.
serving API described using FML model acting as contracts: the chameleon server.

Federation server

This part of the OpenFlexo HTTP server is defined by the OpenFlexo community and provides a ReST API to access to resources and technology adapter specific models.

Documentation:

HTTP Technology Adapter

The HTTP technology adapter provides the capability to connect a distant HTTP API and access it throught VirtualModel and FlexoConcept instances. An HTTP model slot is configured with a VirtualModel acting as a contract where abstract properties, HTTP properties and HTTP behaviours are resolve using HTTP connections.
