1. My understanding is that I can write either a OSGi bundle (as AD-SAL (or) MD-SAL service) that runs in the controller space or a remote app that consumes the Rest API to communicate with the controller. Could you confirm this is correct?



Yes


2. For writing the OSGi bundle (which makes sense for my use case), I would require the Java API doc. Theopendaylight.org site of late has been unsupportive with broken links for the Java doc. I have not heard back from opendaylight-dev mailing list folks on this.




Yes, the javadoc links are currently not working. Not sure why.

I will persuade the site admin to fix it, but this being open source, it might take a few days.



In the mean time, here is a workaround.

You can download a copy of the java source from the link below:

https://github.com/opendaylight/controller

Then generate javadoc from the source by adding a javadoc section to the top level pom.xml file:

https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/OpenDaylight_Controller:How_To:_Site_Deploy

(You would only need to add the javadoc section, not the rest of the stuff on that page.)



I would also recommend exploring this link:

https://github.com/opendaylight/docs



The various projects within OpenDaylight operate primarily from IRC instead of email.

IRC is a lot faster.

Just browse around the OpenDaylight wiki site to find the IRC channels that might be related to your work and join in the conversation.
