APICommand annotation in API Cmd object has a name parameter. Currently name parameter takes only one value. I plan to enhance this to support comma separated values. This will allow multiple API names for the same API Cmd object.
Current: @APICommand(name = "apiName1", .. Proposed: @APICommand(name = "apiName1, apiAlias2, apiAlias3", .. Requirement: As part of CLOUDSTACK-763, I'll be introducing NetworkACLList (grouping of NetworkACLItems). Current APIs use *NetworkACL (create NetworkACL/deleteNetworkACL etc..) for NetworkACLItem related APIs. These APIs have to be changed to *NetworkACL Item(create NetworkACLItem/deleteNetworkACLItem etc..) to get the terminology right. We also need to support old API names for backward compatibility. Hence the need for API name alias. Terminology: NetworkACLItem - Individual ACL Entry (was NetworlACL earlier). NetworkACL - Group of Network ACL Items. API will use the term NetworkACLList to differentiate from the existing NetworkACL APIs.
