Projects

JSON Adapter

Goal

Add ability to access NexJ Server objects via JSON

Plan

Implement a RESTful web service to serve NexJ Server objects in JSON.
We intend to make use of Open-source JSON libraries.

Phase 1: JSON Marshalling

• Find an open source JSON library for JAVA
• Develop a J2EE servlet
• Server will implement GET and DELETE methods
• Develop a JSONMarshaller to marshall NexJ Server Objects into JSON representation

Phase 2: JSON UnMarshalling

• Develop a JSONUnMarshaller to tranform JSON representation into NexJ Server Objects
• Extend servlet to implement POST and PUT methods
