Description

Description

We need to remove DWR from our stack in an organized way. This insures that any DWR based endpoints are replaced with Jersey endpoints that mirror the functionality. Once we do this and remove all DWR usages , we can be certain that we have the right and working endpoints to rebuild the portlets functionality in NG.

Acceptance Criteria
  • Replace DWR calls with REST endpoints
  • Have tests for said REST endpoints
  • Insure that all functionality is maintained and working
  • Remove DWR scripts from the .jsps

Research direction

Start by inventorying DWR calls and scripts in the .jsps, then compare each one with the existing Jersey REST endpoints. Identify the functionality that must be preserved and the tests needed for each REST endpoint. Done means all DWR calls and JSP scripts are removed, equivalent REST endpoints work, and their tests pass.
