/**
 * Sapphire's generic RESTful server.
 * 
 * NOTE: This is an alpha module and its API is currently very volatile.  It functions, but it might change radically
 * before the next release!
 * 
 * This class gives your application a RESTful API for free.  All you have to do is define static $api_access = true on
 * the appropriate DataObjects.  You will need to ensure that all of your data manipulation and security is defined in
 * your model layer (ie, the DataObject classes) and not in your Controllers.  This is the recommended design for Sapphire
 * applications.
 * 
 *  - GET /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID) - gets a database record
 *  - GET /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID)/(Relation) - get all of the records linked to this database record by the given reatlion (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
 *  - GET /api/v1/(ClassName)?(Field)=(Val)&(Field)=(Val) - searches for matching database records (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
 * 
 *  - PUT /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID) - updates a database record (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
 *  - PUT /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID)/(Relation) - updates a relation, replacing the existing record(s) (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
 *  - POST /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID)/(Relation) - updates a relation, appending to the existing record(s) (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
 * 
 *  - DELETE /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID) - deletes a database record (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
 *  - DELETE /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID)/(Relation)/(ForeignID) - remove the relationship between two database records, but don't actually delete the foreign object (NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)
 *
 *  - POST /api/v1/(ClassName)/(ID)/(MethodName) - executes a method on the given object (e.g, publish)

	 *     <ForeignClass id="ForeignID" href="LinkToForeignRecordInAPI" />

	 *
	 * Access is controlled by two variables:
	 * 
	 *   - static $api_access must be set. This enables the API on a class by class basis
	 *   - $obj->canView() must return true. This lets you implement record-level security
