@navoda,
is the stuff that is currently done in updateEndpointResources
all wrong and you need to do something completely different or do you just need an extension hook that will be called from there and which you can implement by subclassing? I am asking because I would like to better understand which functionality should be provided by RDNodeResource
and what kind of extensibility is required..
The whole RDNodeResource
class should be changed into more generalized mode.
I will describe a scenario briefly, for you to understand the matter;
The RD receives a registration request for a specific endpoint with the resource list to add with their resource types.
Currently RDNodeResource
adds these resources to the endpoint as sub resources (which is fine) but all the resource types are hard-coded to be instances of RDTagResource
-> This is done by the function addNodeResources
.
But I need those resources to be various types of resources with-respect to their rt (resource type) attribute.
But the attributes are set by the function updateEndpointResources
only after executing addNodeResources
which already add resources as 'new RDTagResources'. Making it impossible to make the changes afterward.
I think this is actually an issue of process order and poor generalization of the RDNodeResource
class. But I can get a temporary solution for my project, if the class is more flexible for override facility in a subclass.
I would really like if I can send a PR with a better solution for the matter. But right now I'm facing some issues with signing a CLA.
Can you give me your email address that you used for your Eclipse account? I will try to reach out to staff there I know regarding this problem ...
@sophokles73 [mpnavoda@gmail.com](), this is the same email I use for GitHub.
Hi, There are some private methods that I need to extend and override in RDNodeResource class for project specializing purposes.
Eg: The complete request payload is handled by the private method updateEndpointResources, which makes it impossible to extract any additional information from the payload.
Can you change them to public or any other access modifiers that can be override?
