Hi, Orion contains a number of server side plugins which provide certain APIs related to workspace, file, authentication etc. An example of such a plugin is org.eclipse.orion.server.authentication.form.core which contain certain authentication related services. The query here is, Is it ok to depend on these plugins and consume these APIs. An example of an API that we want to use is the "FormAuthHelper#getAuthenticatedUser(HTTPRequest)" which returns the logged in user from the session. There are other such APIs that we would want to depend on. I could not find any documentation related to the consumption of such APIs. Hence, I have raised this issue to clarify this? Thanks and Regards, Pradyut.
None of the server Java code should be considered API. See some discussion of this here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Orion/Documentation/Developer_Guide/Architecture#Example_server The only server API we are aiming to create is the HTTP API. Even the fact that the server is written in Java could possibly change to another language. So, you can build dependencies on the server Java code with the usual caveat: any of the code is subject to change from build to build and release to release.
