Getting cache entries via REST

[edschepis]

Hi all,

I've my infinispan 5.1 working with REST server enabled.

I'm wondering if there's a GET REST invocation I can use to retrieve all the entries in my cache.

Currently I'm doing it in Java on server side with Infinispan APIs (DefaultCacheManager and EmbeddedCacheManager) and then iterating all the InternalCacheEntry occurrencies.

It would be nice to expose a similar work via Infispan REST server.

Edoardo,

no there is no such REST method available. To implement it in a REST/WebDAV compatible way we should have a way to retrieve the list of keys (see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2518.txt paragraph 8.4  GET, HEAD for Collections) and then have the client iterate through those. Remember that, when in distributed mode, you should use a distributed executor so that you get all data from all nodes.
