Description of problem: Our REST API is not capable of filtering child resources by category or any other criteria. The only way clients have is to get all child resources from API and filter results in memory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): JON 3.3.0.GA How reproducible: always I think we should at least implement an easy filter for GET /resource/{id}/children that could accept the same @QueryParams as /resource but I'd like to introduce something more powerful. Let's say GET /resource/search where query parameter i.e "parentResourceId=2" would be mapped to ResourceCriteria#addFilterParentResourceId(2) This search endpoint would be generic enough to support all filter options we have + we can introduce some special queryParams like strict=false|true. GET /resource/search would be a better (more general) replacement for GET /resource/{id}/children

As this is already supported via the Java API and it does not make sense that our APIs implement a completely separate set of functions, one could argue that this is a bug. Furthermore, the fact that you have to retrieve all the child resources means that the client application would most likely require a very large amount of memory and therefore the result of using the resource/{id}/children endpoint could result in memory errors without a way for the user to get around them. This fix should be considered for the 3.3 stream to improve user-experience and make the REST API more usable and aligned with the Java API. Setting target to 3.3.3 for consideration in next maintenance release.
