I'm using REST in Java for android and want to send query {"query": "*"} to get list of all documents.
I use this url: https://api-eu.clusterpoint.com/my_accoundID/my_db_name
Here are my connection classes to URL:
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
But I get database status, not list of all documents.
If you want to send Search query to get list of all documents, you should secify Search command in url and use POST method instead of GET. GET is used for Status. Method, that needs to be used, depends on what you are trying to do.
Just add search command to url: https://api-eu.clusterpoint.com/my_accoundID/my_db_name/_search and change method to "POST".

I'm trying to search for a given user on a Sharepoint site using "lastname, firstname". I was able to use the following url to get the total list of site users as a large XML document:
https://thissite.com/sites/thatsite/_api/web/siteusers/
However, I haven’t been able to figure out how to search by Title. When I use the following url:
https://thissite.com/sites/thatsite/_api/web/siteusers/getbytitle(“lastname,%20firstname”)
I get this error:
<m:error xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata">
<m:code>
-1, Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.InvalidClientQueryException
</m:code>
<m:message xml:lang="en-US">
The expression "web/siteusers/getbytitle("lastname, firstname")" is not valid.
</m:message>
</m:error>
When I use the following url to get the same user's data:
https://thissite.com/sites/thatsite/_api/web/siteusers/getbyid(41)
Then I successfully get XML returned with that user's data.
I guess I could just parse the list obtained from /siteusers and load it into a searchable data object, but I was hoping for something more direct.
UserCollection resource does not expose getbytitle method, that's the reason why you get this exception.
In order filter user by title you could utilize $filter query option as demonstrated below:
https://contoso.sharepoint.com/_api/web/siteusers?$filter=Title eq '<Title>'
In spring-data-mongodb version 2.0.0 i can call a findOne method on gridFsOperation and i get a com.mongodb.client.gridfs.model.GridFSFile back:
com.mongodb.client.gridfs.model.GridFSFile gridFsFile = gridFsOperations.findOne(query(whereMetaData("firstName").is("Hardy")));
Now how can i get the content of this GridFSFile?
I understand that i can query for a filename and get a back GridFsResource. From this i can get the content as inputStream:
GridFsResource gridRes1 = gridFsOperations.getResource("myFile1.txt");
InputStream is = gridRes.getInputStream();
But this does not work for GridFSFile. And i also cannot get a resource by meta-data, but only by filename.
I have a class that models exactly the entity I have in the database. I have a stored procedure that takes in parameters for a new row and returns all the settings in the table which in turn populates my repository. I am able to see the results of GET, PUT and DELETE in the List of type Setting that is in memory. I am noticing first that even when I close Visual Studio and reopen and run the project, sometimes, the List is still in the state it was before. It is not repopulating from the database so I'm not sure why that is first of all... Secondly, I can't seem to get POST to work from Fiddler unlike the other HTTP verbs. I DO see the values from Fiddler show up in the code below but I get the error: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined. I get the same error if I pass an ID or not.
Here is what I put into Fiddler:
POST localhost:54852/api/settings
Request Headers
User-Agent: Fiddler
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: localhost:54852
Content-Length: 149
Request Body
ID=0&Category=Dried%20Goods&Sub_Category=Other&UnitSize=99&UnitOfMeasureID=999&Facings=true&Quantity=true&EverydayPrice=999.99&PromotionPrice=111.11
PostSetting function within my SettingsController
public HttpResponseMessage PostSetting(Setting item)
{
item = repository.Add(item);
var response = new HttpResponseMessage<Setting>(item) { StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.Created };
string uri = Url.Route("DefaultApi", new { id = item.ID });
response.Headers.Location = new Uri(uri);
return response;
}
Should I create a new procedure that gets the MAXID from the database and use that as the NEW ID in the line above where a new ID is created?
You need to create a JSON representation of the Setting class or item that you are wanting to test with use Fiddler (now a Telerik product) and use the Composer tab.
Next you will want to perform a POST to the following URL:
http://[your base url]/api/settings
and pass the JSON formatted setting class.
You can see an example of this here: ASP.NET Web API - Scott Hanselman
Here is a short video showing how to achieve it easily
get and post to webapi from fiddler
I'm using XhmHttp request object to send SOAP request to web services from classic asp page. The web service is returning xml string as result how can I read the xml string result from the SOAP response. Is there any property or method in the XmlHttp object supports that?
vb example:
Dim xmlhttp As New Msxml2.XMLHTTP30
xmlhttp.open "GET", "http://localhost/books.xml", False
xmlhttp.send
MsgBox xmlhttp.responseXML.xml
have a look at the description
responseXML Property
You should be able to use the regular XMLDOM object to do the whole thing. You just 'load' the document right from the URL of the web service you're talking to.
set xmlDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xmlDoc.async=false
xmlDoc.load("http://server.domain.com/yourservice.asp?arg1=a")
Then you just continue parsing the document as if you had loaded it up from a local file.
I am currently using Jersey Framework (JAX-RS implementation) for building RESTful Web Services. The Resource classes in the project have implemented the standard HTTP operations - GET,POST & DELETE. I am trying to figure out how to send request parameters from client to these methods.
For GET it would be in the query string(extract using #QueryParam) and POST would be name/value pair list (extract using #FormParam) sent in with the request body. I tested them using HTTPClient and worked fine. For DELETE operation, I am not finding any conclusive answers on the parameter type/format. Does DELETE operation receive parameters in the query string(extract using #QueryParam) or in the body(extract using #FormParam)?
In most DELETE examples on the web, I observe the use of #PathParam annotation for parameter extraction(this would be from the query string again).
Is this the correct way of passing parameters to the DELETE method? I just want to be careful here so that I am not violating any REST principles.
Yes, its up to you, but as I get REST ideology, DELETE URL should delete something that is returned by a GET URL request. For example, if
GET http://server/app/item/45678
returns item with id 45678,
DELETE http://server/app/item/45678
should delete it.
Thus, I think it is better to use PathParam than QueryParam, when QueryParam can be used to control some aspects of work.
DELETE http://server/app/item/45678?wipeData=true
The DELETE method should use the URL to identify the resource to delete. This means you can use either path parameters or query parameters.
Beyond that, there is no right and wrong way to construct an URL as far as REST is concerned.
You can use like this
URL is http://yourapp/person/personid
#DELETE
#Path("/person/{id}")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response deletePerson(#PathParam("id") String id){
Result result = new Result();
try{
persenService.deletePerson(id);
result.setResponce("success");
}
catch (Exception e){
result.setResponce("fail");
e.printStackTrace();
}
return Response.status(200).entity(result).build();
}
#QueryParam would be the correct way. #PathParam is only for things before any url parameters (stuff after the '?'). And #FormParam is only for submitted web forms that have the form content type.
