List of functions to be merged

[atarkowska]

After first look through the webclient_gateway.py, several general points:

• Every query also loads object details (creationEvent, owner, group) - can this be done by omero.gateway?
• Main overlap between methods is in the list, get, lookup object - see #3658
  • def listSelectedProjects(self, ids)
  • def lookupProjects (self, eid=None, page=None)
  • def listProjects(self, only_owned=False)
• DatasetWrapper?.getChildren vv def lookupImagesInDataset (self, oid, eid=None, page=None)

TODO: begin by identifying groups of methods of similar type and merging.

• getDatasetImageLinks etc. -> getChildLinks("Dataset", oID), getParentLinks("Image", oID), getLink("Dataset", parent_id, "Image", child_id) -- Ola DONE r8911
• getImagesByTag etc. -> getObjectByAnnotation("Image", AnnID) -- Ola
• getDatasetsById etc. -> getObjects("Dataset", oids). P/D/I, S/P/W etc. -- Will DONE r8905
• getTagsByIds etc -> getAnnotations(oids) -- Will
• listOrphanedDatasets etc -> listOrphans("Dataset") -- Will r8918
• listImagesInDataset etc -> listChildren(parent_type="Dataset", oid) -- Will...
• getImageAnnotationLink etc -> getAnnotation -- Ola DONE r8911
• getImageAnnotationLink(self, parent, oid) etc -> getAnnotationLink("Image", parentID, annID). NB note change of arg names to indicate they are both IDs -- Ola DONE r8911
• listTags/listFiles -> listAnnotations(eid, ann_type) -- Ola DONE r8919

(In [8738]) Added TODO comments about similar methods in omero.gateway. See #3650

[wmoore]

Ola, I think that's most of the method types we can merge for now.

[wmoore]

(In [8905/omero]) Merging methods such as getDatasetsById(ids) etc from webclient_gateway into a single getObjects("Dataset", ids) method and moving it into Blitz gateway. See #3650

[wmoore]

(In [8906/omero]) Small fix to previous commit. See #3650

[wmoore]

Ola - I'm going to do getTagsByIds etc.

[wmoore]

(In [8908/omero]) getAnnotations(ids) to replace getTagsByIds() etc. Not tested since replaced methods were not being used anywhere. See #3650

[atarkowska]

(In [8911/omero]) this refractor the way of loading parent/child links, see #3650, see #3658

[wmoore]

(In [8918/omero]) Merged getOrphanedDatasets/Images/Plates to getOrphans('Dataset') in webclient_gateway. See #3650

[atarkowska]

(In [8919/omero]) this refractor the way of loading annotation parent/child links, adds getAnnotations and listAnnotations, see #3650, see #3658
