Restful has released a bridge connecting Java and. net.

Restlet open-source project (Java-oriented lightweight rest framework) is mainly a bridge between Java and. net, so that Java developers can easily use ADO. netdataservices.

 

Recently, noeliostechnologies, a French consulting service company, released a new version of the restlet open source project (Java-oriented lightweight rest framework), which includes the restlet extension for ADO. netdataservices. This is the result of collaboration between Microsoft and noeliostechnologies. Java developers can easily use ADO. netdataservices.

 

Through the ADO. netdataservices framework, we can create restful services and clients that use these services. According to msdn:

 

The ADO. netdataservices framework includes many modes andProgramTo create and use the data service on the web. The goal of this framework is to simplify the creation of data services so that users can easily create well-integrated and flexible data services with the Web. Therefore, ADO. netdataservices uses URIs to point to data fragments and represents data in simple and well-known formats, such as JSON and atom (XML-based feed format ).

 

Microsoft technical evangelist Jean-christophecimetiere wrote an articleArticleThis article gives a detailed introduction to ADO. netdataservices (previously called "projectastoria") and explains the reasons why the framework can publish links and non-relational data through restful services.

 

To enable the system to understand and utilize data semantics, ADO. netdataservices uses entitydatamodel (EDM, an entity-link derivative) and uses data services to model data. In this way, data is organized and the associations between entities are managed in the form of "entity type" instances or "entities.

 

For relational data, ADO. netdataservices can expose the EDM model created by ADO. netentityframework. For other data sources (such as non-relational data) or other database access technologies (such as linqtosql), ADO. netdataservices also provides a mechanism to model these data sources as entities and relationships (such as described through edmschema) and expose them as data services.

According to the restlet site, restlet is a framework that assists in developing restful clients and server applications. The restlet framework contains a restletapi that provides a set of core Contract sets to register restlet implementations. These implementations can be open-source projects or commercial products. Cimetriere said:

 

The restlet extension of ADO. netdataservices provides a high-level clientapi to extend the core functions of the restlet framework: You can access Remote Data Services on ASP. NET servers or Windows server.

 

Java developers canCodeThe generator creates a Java class that complies with the data entities exposed by ADO. netdataservices. Then the Java application can use a simple method to access the data. The restlet engine and extended runtime components are responsible for communications between Java client applications and ADO. netdataservices.
