Example script to create an organisation, repository and project in KIE Workbench, via the REST API.

kie-workbench-rest-api-create-org.sh

#!/bin/bash

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Script to demonstrate using the KIE (Drools) Workbench REST API to:
#
#     create an organistion.
#     create a repository associated with the organisation.
#     create a project in the repository.
#
# Based on the documentation here:
#     https://docs.jboss.org/drools/release/6.5.0.Final/drools-docs/html/ch20.html
#
# At time of writing, the official documentation seems to be a little bit behind
# the current state of the API. Therefore, if you use the example entities provided
# in the documentation, the API calls will not work.
#
# Some of the values hardcoded below (URL, username, password), are based
# on those defined in the Drools Workbench Showcase Docker image:
#     https://hub.docker.com/r/jboss/drools-workbench-showcase/
# I would recommend turning those into arguments or environment variables if you
# intend to make use of this script. I have done that here, just to keep everything
# for the example in one place. Please, don't keep the hardcoded password!

# First, we create an organisation

A bit verbose. I might refactor to wrap the job state checks into a function call, which ought to trim things down.
