Im new to Restkit and I want to use it for my iOS project.
I ran into a problem, because I get different JSON back from the server
and I don't know how to configure my mapping with RestKit.
Here are the two types of JSON messages I can receive from the server.
First json message:
{"result":"not found"}
Second json message:
{ "OPDRACHT":
{ "streetnaam":"value",
"postalcode":"value",
"city":"value"
}
}
I've been reading in the RestKit documentation about mapping without KVC and Dynamic Object Mapping but I can't figure out how to configure the mapping for RestKit.
Anyone an idea how to configure the mapping with RestKit in this situation?
I fixed my mapping problem today.
I changed my json output from the server in a more object structure. Now
RestKit works great with my json.

I'm using Grails 2.3.2 working on a REST API using the built in Grails REST support. I'm having trouble getting rid of the "class" element in the JSON response. Based on a tutorial by Bobby Warner, I have found adding the following to the resources.groovy file:
meterRenderer(JsonRenderer, Meter) {
excludes = ['class']
}
This works fine for show, but for the index controller function, I'm responding with a list of Meters. In this, the "class" doesn't go away. What does it take to get rid of this in the list response?
Edit: To clarify, I am looking for a way to leverage the Content Negotiation feature of Grails new respond functionality without locking myself down to render as JSON implementions.
I guess if you switch to using GSON (github) instead of JSON then you need not worry about that particular exclusion.
That is driven by a config setting provided by the plugin as grails.converters.gson.domain.include.class (default is false).
nickdos' SO link had the answer. I added the following to my BootStrap.groovy:
grails.converters.JSON.registerObjectMarshaller(Meter) {
return it.properties.findAll {k,v -> k != 'class'}
}
And the respond call results in no "class" item. Oddly enough, I lost the "id" item in the process, but I'll save that for another SO question. :)
I have been trying to set up a sample AngularJS app with webMethods Integration Server on the backend. Using $resource, I can easily pull normal JSON files and manipulate the data within the file. However, the goal is that I want to create services in webMethods Designer and call them from AngularJS using $resource to display the data in my app. The problem is that from AngularJS I cannot extract the data I need from the service that I'm creating in Designer. In Designer I can use (in WMPublic) documentToJSONString, and output something like:
jsonString {"id":"1", "name":"Dan", "quantity":"3"}
But I cannot extract the data because this is not a pure JSON string. Does anyone know how to (1) extract the JSON string output data using AnularJS or (2) output a JSON document from Designer? I am calling a REST service; something to the effect of
http://localhost:2222/rest/Get/getOrderData
from my services.js file in AngularJS.
Here is my services.js file:
/* Services */
var orderServices = angular.module('orderServices', ['ngResource']);
orderServices.factory('Order', ['$resource',
function($resource){
return $resource('http://localhost:2222/rest/REST/getOrderData', {}, {
query: {method:'GET', isArray:true}
});
}]);
Then, in my app, I want to use an ng-repeat to call things like {{order.id}}, {{order.name}} etc. Is anyone good with webMethods and Angular or done this before?
To force the response that you want, I would have used the service
pub.flow:setResponse mapping the jsonString to it's string parameter and probably hardcoded (eww!) the contentType parameter to 'application/json'
You may also need to use the service pub.flow:setResponseCode to set the response code.
They would be the last services in getOrderData
I would have invoked it using the below (where namespace is the folder structure in designer)
http://localhost:2222/invoke/namespace:getOrderData
The above applies to Integration Server V8 and it looks like you're using V9 since some of the services that you mention didn't exist in V8. This would also apply to a normal flow service, not a specific REST one (assuming they exist in V9).
I was wandering how I could handle specific connectivity errors when instanciating an Odata store.
var store = new Entities.EntityModel({
name: 'oData',
oDataServiceHost: App.endPoint + 'events/',
maxDataServiceVersion: "2.0",
extraHeaders: {apikey: App.credentials.apikey}
});
after this I would like to know if my store is connected to its endpoint. I would I do this without issuing a dummy query?
Is the 'onReady' function fired when a connection has been made or only when the store is initialized?
If you use the static way as in your example then onReady means that all internal structure is initialized so you can start using JayData but it does not mean that your oData endpoint is working. You'll get error when you try to really access your endpoint.
If you use the initService method which downloads $metadata and builds the model in memory on the fly then JayData must be able to talk to your odata endpoint.
if the server returns:
{
"repositories":
{
"xmlns":{...}
"repository":{...}
"repository":{...}
}
}
then is it a valid JSON? I tested it in This JSON Parser and it works fine, but I wonder when I use some parser to parse it and get an NSDictionary, then for the key 'repository', how do I get the two repositories?
Thanks!
That JSON parser is not good then, the last value will overwrite the first one. Use JSONLint instead to validate your JSON, you will see the result.
I am learning some tricky development in iPhone and during my experiments I found out that usually we used localized web-service in which all parameter are fixed(Keyword). If my web service will change some fields in the response than how can we handle in iPhone. Please help me. If Anybody have any good idea.
For Example,
Webservice Response1:
[ {
"Number":"A12 hrb",
"List":[
{
"Type":"Works",
"Display":{
"dop":45,
"dopper":56
},
"OAST":"10-01-2012",
"OAET":"07-04-2012",
"Cause":"define",
"Impact":"Queue",
"Description":"Take a Break.",
"LName":"Lunetten To Lunetten",
"Number":"A12 hrb",
}
] }, ]
Webservice Response2:
[ {
"Number":"A12 hrb",
"Number2":"A13 brs",
"List":[
{
"Type":"Works",
"Display":{
"dop":45,
"dopper":56
"picker":90
},
"OAST":"10-01-2012",
"MAET":"07-04-2012",
"OAET":"07-04-2012",
"Cause":"define",
"Impact":"Queue",
"Description":"Take a Break.",
"LName":"Lunetten To Lunetten",
"Number":"A12 hrb",
}
] }, ]
You can do this
Parse the response.If response is JSON then definitely you will get a dictionary just keep a reference of it.
you can get all the keys in dictionary by calling following method
(NSArray *)allKeys
now enumerate above array and access the values respective to each key and do whatever you want
But you should know the meaning/purpose of dynamic keys. If you don't no meaning/purpose of keys these steps may not help you... best of luck.
For this type of case you can get the dictionary and in dictionary you
can get the value of which tag you want means you just need root node
and store root node all the data in dictionary and handle that
dictionary for the further use..
I don't think it will be possible to parse it completely. Atleast you should know which keys are going to be there. e.g. response has Number, Number2 & List as keys. It's ok if some responses do not contain one/some of the keys.
On the other hand, if knowing all the keys in advance is at all not possible, then webservice should have mechanism to convey the keys used in response.
e.g. [ {
"dynamic_keys": "Number2",
"Number":"A12 hrb",
"Number2":"A13 brs",
"List":[
{
"Type":"Works",
"Display":{
"dop":45,
"dopper":56
"picker":90
},
"OAST":"10-01-2012",
"MAET":"07-04-2012",
"OAET":"07-04-2012",
"Cause":"define",
"Impact":"Queue",
"Description":"Take a Break.",
"LName":"Lunetten To Lunetten",
"Number":"A12 hrb",
}
] }, ]
You can read the value of "dynamic_keys" and then using that value you can read value of actual dynamic key.
edit: as mentioned by ssteinberg you can use some framework like JSONKit to parse actual JSON.
