I have only an array of byte on the client side.
Another server send me JSON
{
report - byte[]
}
I am looking for ways to save byte [] in browser
Send them to server or I can download from client side.
I can not find any solution at all.
So my question "Is it possible to save with restygwt byte [] an how???"
It is not possible to save the file directly from Resty.

The most common workarounds to download files using AJAX are not using AJAX at all.
You can simply change the URL (using window.location) or (using javascript) create or;
create a form (using JS) and post that form.
In my projects, I simple create a URL to my REST endpoint attaching any query parameters needed and use it as the href to a link.
For instance, if your RestyGwt endpoint points to /entity/1/bytes
just do
new Anchor("Download", "/entity/1/bytes");
your endpoint must produce a downloadable file type say:
#Produces("text/txt")

I am trying to get the form data from a multipart/form-data POST to my ASW Lambda web service via API Gateway.
The HTTP POST has Content-Type "multipart/form-data" and body that is URL encoded. File data is also sent in this post (hence the multipart, I guess).
The web service needs to integrate with a thirdparty service, so changing the format of the POST isn't really an option.
I have seen this thread talking about converting the URL encoded data to JSON object for use in Lambda, but this doesn't do the trick.
I have also tried setting the Integration Request -> Mapping Templates for content type multipart/form-data to Input passthrough. This didn't help either.
I did come across another question about uploading a file using multipart/form-data, but since I'm not interested in the file, just the body, that answer didn't help.
Below find screenshot (sorry) of the captured post via runscope.
If the goal is to use Lambda, you'll need to pass valid JSON to the function. Currently there isn't a way to JSON-ify data inside Api Gateway that comes in as non-JSON data.
Our short term fix (on our backlog) is to provide a variable in the mapping templates to grab the raw input of the request. That way you could do a simple JSON conversion using a template like:
{
"body" : "$input.body"
}
or something like that.
Check out the mapping template reference for more info: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api-gateway-mapping-template-reference.html
Edit 4/7 - feature has been released as $input.body
Hi,
I am a newbie to Backbone, My Rest Server Components Accept Only XML Requests, can Anybody show an example how do i send a xml to a rest api put request.
Backbone uses JSON by default, so to use XML you need to overwrite Backbone.sync. Take a look at this answer: How to override Backbone.sync?
I got this problem, I have built a rest api and I don't know how to deal with this:
When the javascript client (Marionette.js) is in charge of making the views, I don't have problems, because as it is known, it just requests an url (e.g. example.com/user/37), the server retrieves a json with {id:'37', name:'Peter', age:'24'} (there is one controller class named User) and Marionette shows that data in the view. But if the user enter to example.com/user/37 by the browser it will show just {id:'37', name:'Peter', age:'24'} without any view. What can I do if I want to see the same view in both cases?
If you're trying to serve up HTML or JSON from the same endpoint then your server should be making that decision based on the request's Accept header. If the request's Accept header is application/json then your server should return just the JSON ortherwise return the HTML.
You can see that SoundCloud uses the same technique for returning XML or JSON from their API:
Resources are returned as XML by default, or JSON if a .json extension is appended to the resource URI. We encourage you to use JSON. You can also send an appropriate Accept header specifying the format you would like. For example, a request with the header Accept: application/json will return resources represented as a JSON document.
What you are trying to do is pratically impossible.
why ?
When your first enter the url example.com it's the server that responds with all the artifacts that compose your application (html, js, css ...) and the browser display it.
Now, when you enter ther url example.com/user/37 the server only sends the JSON data without any html, js or css, so the browser display the raw data he received.
What you are trying to do is to force the server to give two responses (JSON or html/js/css) depending on the user request.
You can do it, but it would be so complicated that's not worth the efforts.
I'm trying out chrome-extension advanced rest client app, but when I send something like:
http://myDom:34234/my/path/method?param=["{a-guid}"]
the actual parameter arrives on the server as "[\"{a-guid}\"]" how do I get it to send the array as an array rather than a string?
Proper URL for this request should looks like:
http://myDom:34234/my/path/method?param=%5B%22%7Ba-guid%7D%22%5D
All URLs must be encoded.
In the app you can expand URL panel and under "Query parameters" section encode values to proper form.
it depends on your server implementation (e.g. php, c#, rails, javascript, python, etc).
all headers arrive on the server as a string. it's up to the application to parse that string into a native object (e.g. an array) in that language.
in the php world, here's the code we use:
parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $args);
update:
based on your comment below i suggest you use new JavaScriptSerializer.Deserialize(jsonString)
You need System.Web.Extensions dll for the same and import the following namespace.
Namespace: System.Web.Script.Serialization

I'm using GWT to develop a web app. I'm currently using AJAX calls to retrieve values from the server. I have following queries regarding to AJAX calls:
Assume: I have an app, name of which is: "Application" and the entry point class is: "entry.java"
I know: the application could be invoked as: http://localhost:8080/Application/entry.html
1. I would like to know what what is the output URL given by gwt.getmodulebaseURL()?
Assume: In the same application I have a service called "ServerValuesService" and its corresponding Async. I have corresponding serviceImpl, which has a method called List < String >search(String) at the server side.
I could retrieve the values from the server as well. However,
2. I would like to know what would be the direct URL to access this service? For Instance, I need to obtain the list of values, by just giving a URL (passing value for the String). i.e. I need to access the method search(String) and retrieve the list just by typing a url such as:
http://localhost:8080/Application/entry/serverValuesService?string="hello"
I'm sure the above URL is wrong. I need to know exact conversion between URL and the corresponding service. Is this possible at all?
Thanks in advance!
1) In your case it will give you http://localhost:8080/Application . Application is your modulename.
2) These services are actually HttpServlets and their URL's are defined in the web.xml file. But Google uses POST method to send your variables and takes care of serialization for you, what you are trying to do is send it via GET method which is as far as I know not implemented by Google RemoteServiceServlet.So I would say no its not possible unless you extend these services to work with GET methods yourself but I don't know if that is possible.
Assume: I have an app, name of which is: "Application" and the entry point class is: "entry.java"
I know: the application could be invoked as: http://localhost:8080/Application/entry.html
The url http://localhost:8080/Application/entry.html is called host page url. In this html page you load your GWT module using a script tag:
<!-- This script tag is what actually loads the GWT module. The -->
<!-- 'nocache.js' file (also called a "selection script") is -->
<!-- produced by the GWT compiler in the module output directory -->
<!-- or generated automatically in hosted mode. -->
<script language="javascript" src="calendar/calendar.nocache.js"></script>
So if you put above example in your entry.html, the module will be loaded from http://localhost:8080/Application/calendar/calendar.nocache.js making http://localhost:8080/Application/calendar/ your module base url.
I would like to know what would be the direct URL to access this
service? For Instance, I need to obtain the list of values, by just
giving a URL (passing value for the String). i.e. I need to access the
method search(String) and retrieve the list just by typing a url
GWT RPC use a custom serialization format to encode requests to the RPC Service on server. The RPC service is implemented as a subclass of RemoteServiceServlet on the server. The RemoteServiceServlet handles the http POST requests, de-serializing the request from client and invvoking appropriate service method of sub-class.
So for directly accessing the service you'll need:
1. The service URL
2. Request payload encoded in GWT's custom serialization format
3. Ability to HTTP POST the payload to the Service URL
1 and 3 are easy to acquire. You already know the URL at which your service is mapped in web.xml. And you can do post from any http client or browser plugins like this. The hard-part would be to generate request payload in GWT's custom serialization format. For simple cases, you can generate a request from your application and capture the raw payload from Firebug, Fiddler or similar tool and simply replay it using your http client.
