This sections provide information regarding how to interact with Resource Registry Service for Context and Schema Port Type. REST API are presented for each functionality. Java libraries for these port types are currently under development and will be document as soon as available.

Please note that the provided examples can intentionally hide some details in the response to avoid unneeded complexity.

Context Management

It is responsible for managing Context belonging to the same Application Domain.

Security configuration based on Authorization Framework make this port type accessible only from Resource Manager. In other words no others client is allowed to manage Context rather than Resource Manager.

Context requirements:

  • No predefined number of levels.
  • Possibility to change the name of the Context with no impact for any component.
  • Possibility to move a Context from a parent Context to another.

Available Methods:

Any action made to Contexts succeed if the following requirements are guaranteed:

  • Two Context with same name can exist but only if they have different parents. The operation which will try to obtain a Context with the same name to the same parent will fails with no effect.
  • Any operation made in any Context has effect only to the Context. In other words, there will be no effect on the associated Entity and Relations.

At time of writing this port type is only accessible by using REST API. Resource Registry Context Client (java client) is under development.
