Hi Vikash,<br>
here goes the first try for a user story:<br>
<br>
User finds a new service / creates a new service and wants to publish<br>
it. All that is needed to register a new service is a user name<br>
(authentication) with email for confirmation, the Capabilities URL of<br>
the service and whether it should be public.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>First the user needs to authenticate himself using a username/password. For this I am working on plain http authentication with the mapbender server.<br><br>The registering of a new service is a Create operation. So, it should be a POST operation. And the URI should be like this (assuming that the url of the mapbender server is <a href="http://www.mapbender.org">www.mapbender.org</a>) - <a href="http://www.mapbender.org/resources/resourceID">http://www.mapbender.org/resources/resourceID</a><br>
<br>So to post this user would send four parameters username, email id and capabilities url and public/private status of the service.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Q: What happens if this URL (or a similar one?) has already been<br>
uploaded earlier? Add a counter for the the same URL (uploaded several<br>
times)?<br>
A: The Capabilities URL needs to be checked against the ones already in<br>
the database. -> What happens then?<br></blockquote><div><br>In case, the capabilities URL already exists, we can send an error to the user saying that it already exists. <br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Q: What happens if the user gets "lost", is deleted, etc.?<br>
A: ?<br></blockquote><div><br>I didn't really get this? <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Q: What happens if the service is deleted by another user? (This is<br>
currently not possible, it would generate an error message).<br></blockquote><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Q: What happens if Mapbender cannot read the capabilities document?<br>
A: Error message & ?<br></blockquote><div><br><br>Again can you explain me this?<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
Q: Are we going to use this "interface" also to update services or do we<br>
need to create another one?<br>
A: ?<br></blockquote><div><br>To update the service we need to create a separate interface. And that would be using PUT HTTP command. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
