Hi there,
I am looking at integrating a forum into an established site with ~10,000 unique logins per day. The client application currently talks to the business layer over REST so I like the fact that clearspace offers a REST API. While evaluting clearspace I've found the documentation to be very extensive and helpful. However, looking at the REST docs here:
http://www.jivesoftware.com/builds/docs/clearspace/latest/RestServicesReference.html
I can find no information about expected XML payloads to fire are your POST endpoints. Am I missing something here? for example:
http://www.jivesoftware.com/builds/docs/clearspace/latest/RestServicesReference.html#ForumService_createMessage_String_String_long_long
This doesn't show me what I need to send to the endpoint to create a forum post.
To start off with we'd only be looking at consuming the basic forum functionality and would be happy to write our own client to render the forum. Is this the recommended way of working with Clearspace or can anyone offer me any other sensible ways to consume a subset of Clearspace services? We would certainly be looking at deeper integration in the future and the rich feature set of web 2.0 social networking tools is very appealing.
Ben.
