DBWS Restful Use Cases
There are three scenarios to consider:
- (Existing Entities) the database contains the specified entities: the typical scenario where the entities are exposed via a RESTful CRUD application.
- (Greenfield Entities) the database does not contain the specified entities: the so-called greenfield scenario where the entities do not yet exist on the database.
- (Meta-data Entities) meta-data describing the specified entities is provided through an alternative mechanism: the scenario where the entities are described via a JPA .orm file.
In its initial phase, DBWS-R will target the Existing Entities scenarios since that will satisfy the first two use cases (the Greenfield Entities scenario becomes a 'trivial' version of Existing Entities)
