The operations of the WSO2 Governance Registry can now be accessed through Web Service calls using the Web Service API (WS-API).

The WS-API supports almost all operations exposed through the main Registry API. A WS client is provided for the WS-API which allows you to access the Registry just as you would through the main Registry API.

For more information about the Web Services API, see Web Services API - WSO2 Governance Registry, and WS-API Sample.

Setting up the WS API Registry Client and WS-Security

The following code shows how to set up the WS Client and authenticate it against an instance of the Governance Registry.

...

...

Adding a Resource to the Registry

Resource r1 = registry.newResource();

String path = "/dev_guide/r1";

String r1content =  "R1 content";

r1.setContent(r1content);

registry.put(path, r1);

...

Commenting, Tagging and Rating a Resource

registry.addComment(path, new Comment("This is a WS-API comment"));

registry.rateResource(path, 5);

registry.applyTag(path, "WS tag");

...

Moving and Renaming a Resource

String newPath = "/dev_guide_new/r1_move";

registry.move(path, newPath);

registry.rename(newPath, "r2_renamed");

...

Retrieving the Resource's Content

Resource resource = registry.get("/dev_guide_new/r2_renamed");

System.out.println(new String((byte[])resource.getContent()));

This will output the original content to the console, for example, "R1 content."
