Create a java api for JSON API serialization/deserialization

[ieugen]

@remmeier : cool. In the meeting last night we decided to have a more slow approach regarding the refactorings. We will no longer merge the full branch but back-port changes one at a time.

One of those changes will be json api serialization/deserialization - usefull for building kathaarsis-client.

Having that said, I believe we can merge katharsis client soon and start implementing this feature + refactoring of the serialization and use the client to test it.

I can help with that. My initial version with very minor changes to katharsis-core starts to look quite ok (find/save/delete, relations, exception mapping,...). Currently based on the master branch (
https://github.com/adnovum/katharsis-framework/tree/master/katharsis-client). I could contribute it as a starting point, either after the refactorings or before/now. Maybe it would be useful to have it before the refactorings to maybe give some insights for the refactorings.

Referal issue that can be included to address the change #2

what's the status of this?

I have a snippet of code that almost does the trick. I just started doing this a couple of weeks ago. The problem is that it currently requires a thread local variable swap.

Json-api ser/deser - it's all we need. If we can simply use that Katharsis feature without full integraton with framework that would be a relief

@remmeier Any ideas on if/when this would ship?

Thanks!

I can see about putting some code together

because of #269 I started working in this area, meaning object representation of JSON API request/response with serializers. I should have that today or tomorrow.

[chb0github]

        JsonApiResponse response = new JsonApiResponse().setEntity(entity);
                ResourcePath jsonPath = new ResourcePath(entity.getClass().getAnnotation(JsonApiResource.class).type());
                result = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(new ResourceResponseContext(response, jsonPath, new QueryParamsAdapter(new QueryParams())));

The only problem here is you will need to swap out the ServiceUrlProvider as a ThreadLocal variable. otherwire all of your resource are going to have the HOST header be null and this not work.
