Implement the folder web service

Folders are XWiki documents that have an object of type FolderClass. The URL to access a folder will look like this:

/xwiki/bin/get/drive/folder

This is also the URL that will expose the web service, which is going to be implemented in FolderSheet. A drive is an XWiki space where the File Manager looks for files and folders. The following operations should be possible on a folder:

• create a new sub-folder

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/folder?action=newFolder&name=NewFolder
  

  The response should be redirected to the created folder:

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/NewFolder
  

  Note that the id of the created folder may be suffixed by a counter in case there is already a file or folder with the same name in another place on the same drive (XWiki space).

• create a new child file

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/folder?action=newFile&name=NewFile
  

  Additional parameters for the file meta data can be specified. The response should be redirected to the created file:

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/NewFile
  

  Note that the id of the created file may be suffixed by a counter in case there is already a file or folder with the same name in another place on the same drive (XWiki space).

• get

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/folder
  

  The response should be in JSON format and it should include the list of sub-folders and the list of direct child files.

• move to a different parent and/or rename

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/folder?action=move&parent=NewParent&name=NewName
  

  The response should be redirected to the new URL:

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/NewName
  

  Again, the new id may be suffixed by a counter in case there is already a file or folder with the same name in another place on the same drive (XWiki space).

• copy to a different parent and/or a different name

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/folder?action=copy&parent=OtherParent&name=OtherName
  

• delete

  /xwiki/bin/get/drive/folder?action=delete
  

  The HTTP status of the response should inform about the success/failure. Additional parameters could be added to control if the descendant files that are included in other folders too are to be removed or not.
