We were talking before about all URLs appearing in the protocol, which does make a lot of sense. UUIDs are universally unique already are resolveable if not retrievable from the entry point that served them, and don't break when moved or shared. There are pros and cons of both approaches bit I think we need to understand the full implications before we decide one way or the other.
Can you point me to the requirements you've written up for this? There have (unsurprisingly) been public and private calls to rubber
stamp various APIs but each have their benefits and drawbacks and we're trying to pick out the best parts. Single entry points, discovery, controllers and some of the structure came from Sun^W Oracle Cloud APIs already... the main thing that hasn't (yet) come across is JSON.
Please refrain from putting words in my mouth. I am not asking that work be rubber stamped, I am asking that work be adopted as a basis for further work, rather than recreating large portions of it. Once again, the question goes unanswered. Best of luck. Ben
