Lyo/TRSReferenceApplication

 The Guided Tour walks you through the following tasks:

Examine how the TRS toolkit, can help you create a TRS provider, using JAX-RS

1. Open the file org.eclipse.lyo.rio.trs.resources.BaseResource.java. Notice @Path("/trs/"+TRSConstants.TRS_TERM_BASE) at the top of the class.
2. This is a JAX-RS annotation that assigns a relative path (from the jax-rs servlet context) for the Base Resource RESTful endpoint. There are various constants and vocabularies defined in the toolkit to abstract the terms and namespaces from TRS provider implementers.
3. In the reference application, the Base Resource is paged so that, according to the specification, a get on the base resources will do a redirect to the first page of base resources. This is what happens in the getBase() endpoint.
4. The other method, getBasePage(page), returns the Base resource at the given page. The class org.eclipse.lyo.core.trs.Base is provided by the TRS toolkit. It is basically a simple java bean that has been annotated with various OSLC4J annotations to allow the OSLC4J marshalling to create the proper RDF document for the JAX-RS configured serialization.
5. Both methods have additional annotations such as @GET, which identifies the type of HTTP traffic it can handle, as well as an @Produces that identifies the return type the method can handle. In all cases, the REST endpoints can return RDF XML, XML, or JSON. JAX-RS dynamically returns the correct format based on the HTTP request that is received.
6. Open the file com.ibm.teams.integration.refapps.trs.resources.TRSResource.java
7. In similar fashion it also has an @Path annotation that identifies the root of the RESTful service for the Tracked Resource Set.
8. The reference application is utilizing the segmented Changelog concept from the TRS Specification (sec 1.3.1.1). The method getTrackedResourceSet() returns a tracked resource set with the most recent segment of the changelog.
9. The other method in this class, getChangeLog(page), returns the segmented portion of the change as requested by the HTTP request
