Patch to make services resource and CRUD-aware

I want to get decoupling in before we tackle this patch - otherwise if we have 2 major changes hitting services core it is going to be interesting ;)

Subscribing... Is this getting in soon?

I just tried applying this patch to 6.x-2.x-dev. Trying to get rest_server-6.x-2.x-dev to work. Got one failed patch hunk, which was already applied--the rest applied pretty cleanly. But it looks like the RESTServer class in rest_server doesn't match the structure of resources passed by the patch.

Does anyone have the latest dev version of rest_server working?

I'd be happy to help finish off these interactions, if somebody can point me to which function should be patched--just breaking into this code, and not sure what's old and what's new.

Hi, Hugo,

I actually found your git repo and pulled from there before seeing your patch. I've got it all working at a basic level here, and am starting to put it to use.

I notice you use your own Query Builder module to handle parameters and fields in the web service. This is working fine--however, what I'm setting up to talk to the service passes '*' as a wild card for pretty much all searches. So I've added a very quick patch to that to support these searches (and it's gotten the first part of what I'm trying to do done!)

             $q->conditions[] = $col . '=' . $placeholder;
             $q->params[] = $value;

1.6.0.4

... of course, this patch isn't good for Postgres, since LIKE is case-sensitive... I'm just learning the Drupal API -- is there a convention for making this more portable across databases?

Committed to head

Thanks Hugo and Marc, this is awesome.
