[Opensim-users] (no subject)

[Justin Clark-Casey]

In this particular case, you could make inventory calls to insert an item copy but there's no give_copy method - one 
would need to call additem with the right folder details.

The services are quite dumb and handle only simple operations - all the logic for co-ordinating something like inventory 
give, for example, takes place on the simulator.  In the IM offline case, I think (without checking) that the IM is 
stored in the offline service, then on login to a simulator the simulator pulls off all the offline messages and replay 
them, at which point the give is processed.

I would say that the services are deliberately simple.  By only handling simple operations they do not need to preserve 
state, so like the web, can be easily scaled up simply by adding more service instances (unlike the simulators 
themselves, which are the massive state chokepoint and one of the reasons why it's hard to scale up to more avatars). 
Simple services are also more reliable and arguably more flexible, since one can compose many operations from simple 
calls (though one could also have another service layer which implements certain things by calling simpler services).

I have to presume that the ROBUST on standalone server does this all the time.  If in world I open an IM to a user and give them an object, even if they are not online at the time, it more or less works.  So what does that call?  Why can't this be wrapped in an external call to do the same thing?  Is it a security issue?

There is some information at [1] but because these calls were not designed to be invoked directly, doing so is extremely tricky and requires a high level of knowledge of how assets and inventory work in OpenSimulator. I cannot help any further than this.
