Rename to Kernel

It's almost ready. Selected methods could be annotated with

// for GET request
@AdapterHook(handlerClassName = "SimpleHttpAdapterIface", requestMethod = "GET") 
// for all not declared methods
@AdapterHook(handlerClassName = "SimpleHttpAdapterIface", requestMethod = "*")

for Logstash or Kafka or ?
Splunk, Splunk SDK for Java

outbound adapter

used to format response from HttpAdapter

Maybe could be possible to use some lightweight JSON writer such as https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-java ?
Gson is relatively big.

Inbound adapter formating responses as html

must be implemented properly
see: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

similar to Apache httpd logs

Rename HelloService and add all http hook methods.

For the core, light version
Having formatResponse method

current release: 1.0-B1

in SimpleService
and additionally:
ADAPTER: SimpleHttpAdapterIface
context=/
SimpleHttpAdapterIface SimpleHttpAdapterIface
hook method for GET : getTime
SimpleHttpAdapterIface SimpleHttpAdapterIface

Idea:
create Result.toJson, Result.toXML, Result.toCsv - formating response. These methods calls data object's toJson, toXML, toCsv methods or toString.
Developer should implement toJson, toXML, toCsv in data object class.

without external libraries, with DummyService

system logs should be cleaned (replace System.out)
System.out.println only when starting the service
Logging using dedicated adapter

used to format response from HttpAdapter

Executing Cricket from the command line without arguments should print short usage help. Command line parameters

• --help
• --conf path_to_config (optional, without it build-in, example config is used)
• --run

Would be nice to have some automatic mapping

see HttpAdapter
works for INFO level

https://www.gitbook.com/book/gskorupa/building-microservices-with-cricket

it's optional
instead of automatic formatting by HttpAdapter.format

1. fat jar
2. core jar and jars for adapters

1. javadoc target in build,xml
2. write class comments

Outbound adapter reading file content.
Configuration parameter:
root - file path

specifying service class from the command line will be possible after implementing JSON format of the configuration file

The service template is the file structure which could be use to prepare new service using Cricket library.

JSON with json-io
XML with jaxb

Maybe generic JDBC adapter could be helpful as parent to derived implementations.
But maybe not.

for standalone mode

Executing Cricket service in standalone mode with --help or -h option should print content of help.txt.
Executing Cricket service in standalone mode with wrong options should print content of help.txt.
help.txt file is included in the jar and accessible from the Service.class as a resource.

Outbound adapter to Apache Kafka

Registering event hook method in service class
Predefined event types for logging:
LOG_ALL
LOG_FINEST
LOG_INFO
LOG_WARNING
LOG_SEVERE

Example how to send event from adapter, see HttpAdapter

SimpleService.sendEcho()
for DELETE request
it's OK for GET
