OGoWebService
OGoWS exposes some OGo/J functionality as a JSON WebService API. Created to provide a backend to some ExtJS 5 toy application. Included, see YoYoGo below.
Setup
This needs a running OGo database. The database connection is configured in the Defaults.properties file. Like:
DB = jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1/OGo?user=OGo&password=OGo
LSAttachmentPath = /var/lib/ogo/documents
Since the service is going to be accessed from a different webserver origin (the website might be hosted at http://localhost/MyApp, but the WebService is running as http://localhost:8181/) all the CORS stuff need to be configured. Sample:
WOAllowOrigins = http://localhost:8181,http://127.0.01:8181,http://localhost
WOAllowOriginHeaders = Origin, X-Requested-With, PROXY, STORE, Accept, X-OGo, Content-Type
All quite clumsy ;-) And it might still not work quite right (the browser might prompt you again for auth credentials - depends on the browser).
To run the service, start the main func in org.opengroupware.ws.OGoWS.
When running the app, you can check whether the service works via:
http://127.0.0.1:8181/OGoWS/
YoYoGo
You can find a tiny ExtJS 5.1 application in the YoYoGo folder. Just a proof of concept on how to do this stuff.
Looks like this:
Don't you love the beauty of ExtJS? ...
###Why?!
Just wanted to try out ExtJS. If you are one of the five people still using OGo and you would like to write an ExtJS frontend for it - this is a good place to start ;-)
