Contributing context implementations

If you have created a new context implementation, because none of the existing implementations were suitable for, then contribute it and create value for other developers, too.

Context candidates:

  • Spring (MVC)
  • JBoss Seam

Contributing consumers and producers

Providing more consumers and producers is another major goal of essential. So if you have implemented new consumers and producers for a variety of media types, then make us happy and contribute it.

Consumer & producer candidates:

  • XML & JSON handling with XStream as alternative to JAXB/Jackson
  • Binary file handling
  • Image handling (JPEG, GIF, PNG, ...)

Contributing authentication implementations

essential provides an authentication interface which can be activated by configuring the implementing class in the essential configuration. As security is an issue for experts and as there are many security models out there, submitting or reviewing authentication implementations is highly appreciated.

Security model candidates:

  • Amazon S3
  • OAuth 2.0
