Perhaps a suggestions wiki page for web services could direct folks to propose new methods via comments on the page would help.

I'd rather that enriching happen in the module instead of via other modules. I feel like letting modules add methods that extend things that aren't there own can get ugly. If more than one module tries to override/add something, which one wins? If a user is confused why a specific rest call no longer works, they think the error is in the main rest module instead of a module they added/removed. > > My guess is that its possible with the way it is now for a module to use the same hierarchy but with different parameters, but I haven't tested it. ...and I'm certainly not going to be one to condone it. :-) > > Ben > > On Wed, Nov 2, 2011 at 5:24 PM, Friedman, Roger (CDC/CGH/DGHA) (CTR) < [email protected]> wrote: > > I can see how a module would be able to add REST services with differing parameters to its own objects. I am asking how to add additional REST services for core objects, for example, to get all the child concepts of the specified concept. I see how I could make a separate service module that would support <REST>/MyServices/concept/<UUID>?children=true. But AFAIK, if I wanted <REST>/concept/<UUID>?children=true, I would have to add code to the main REST module. Is this something we want to happen? In a larger sense, I am asking if we have any development path for services beyond CRUD. > > > > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ben Wolfe > Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2011 6:33 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [OPENMRS-DEV] REST Webservices Question > > > > Muhammad replied off list to me because he has yet to receive an email confirmation to join. > > His problem was a missing set of quotes around the "key" in the post content. > > Yes, a module can add web services: > https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Adding+a+Web+Service+Step+by+Step+Guide+for+Module+Developers > The calls /might/ be able to go off of core urls, but it'd be better if they went off of a module specific url so as to be certain not to clash. > > I couldn't find an example of a controller method that took more than one parameter, but the ObsController and EncounterController are examples of how to accept a custom url and custom parameter names. > > Ben > > On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 7:20 PM, Friedman, Roger (CDC/CGH/DGHA) (CTR) < [email protected]> wrote: > > Ben -- > > Do we have any tickets in for processing more than a q parameter? Is there/will there be a way we can create additional REST calls in a module? Even REST calls on core objects? For example, an extension to do GetConceptByName, or an extension to get all of the members of a concept/question set from the UUID of the set? > > > > From: [email protected] [mailto: > > ________________________________ > Click here to unsubscribe from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list _________________________________________ To unsubscribe from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list, send an e-mail to [email protected] with "SIGNOFF openmrs-devel-l" in the body (not the subject) of your e-mail.
