Minion Plugin Service

Overview

The Plugin Service is responsible for:

• Providing a REST based API
• Handling requests from trusted components (eg the Task Engine)
• Communication with the Plugins
• Threading requests

Main Classes

PluginService

This is the guts of the plugin service, and will implement (or control) all of the functionality.

It can be run 'inline' for testing / development purposes.

PluginServiceRestApi

This is a wrapper around the PluginService, and provides a simple REST API.

At some point this will become a 'proper' stand alone service.

PluginServiceClient

This provides the same interface as the PluginService, but communicates with a separate plugin service process via the REST API.

Clients should be able to switch between the PluginService and the PluginServiceClient without having to make any changes.
