Idea: Web Service Server

bigheadfish · Post by **bigheadfish** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 6:06 am

(I did a research and did not find this feature exists at this time. However, I may be wrong. Please point it out if it is already here. Thanks. )

Many people use Joomla for their content websites, e.g.: article repository, etc. Right now, Joomla only provides RSS for syndication (please correct me if I am wrong).

My plan is to build a module to enable Joomla to work as a web service server. The objective is to allow flexible content syndicate or integration. For simplicity, this module will provide services only through XML_RPC or REST.

It will allow users (most probably, developers?) to send a URL like http://RemoteSite/Joomla/MyBot/paramete ... eterB/yyy/

The response will be a XML file, and can be processed by most programming language.

I have not decided how many parameters shall I support---I will discuss it with my mentor if my application is approved. However, the following five parameters will be supported anyway:

author
category
FromDate
ToDate
Keyword

Thanks

Joomla! 1.5 already has XML-RPC support. Maybe you could develop a new service using it

There's a group that's almost done with an AMF-PHP bridge... I've seen it in action, and I've got to say, cool...

Could anyone give some more ideas about good services suitable for soc?

I've built an AMFPHP component for Joomla. The way I structured it, services for AMFPHP are installed as their own plugins. Check it out:

Just wanted to let everyone know that my team is currently developing an extention to Joomla for Web Services. This is part of a larger SOA opensource project with Joomla as the customerfacing CMS.

SOA Modules Homepage (http://www.soamods.com)
SOA Modules High Level Design

Our team are experts at webservices but will need some help from Joomla Community.
Current think are services such as:
create article, read article, update article, delete article
create category, read category, update category, delete category
etc...

The main PHP Service Enabled Core (pSEC) will provide all the heavy lifting and be the common lib to enable any Joomla extention as a web service. Im hoping if this takes off this will be included in the core some day.

If anyone on this list would like to help out that would be great
