Re: setting the location header

[Jim Alateras]

Thierry,

Thanks once again. The supplied code snippet worked with a slight 
modification

  Reference reference = new Reference("http://localhost/exchange";);
  reference.setBaseRef("http://localhost";);
  Request request = new Request(Method.POST, reference);

cheers

Hi Jim,

The application must handle absolute URIs. You can update your code as follow :

        Reference reference = new Reference("/exchange");
        reference.setBaseRef("http://localhost";);
        Request request = new Request(Method.POST, reference);

By doing so, the application still handles a reference with a relative
part equals to "/exchange".

best regards,

Thierry,

 Just some additional info. I am getting this error in a test case
 scenario so I may not be priming the 'request' with all the correct info

 Here is the code that I am using

 Request request = new Request(Method.POST, "/exchange");
 Response response = application.handle(request);
 assertTrue(response.getStatus() == Status.SUCCESS_CREATED);
 assertTrue(response.getLocationRef().getPath() != null);

 Do i need to do anything extra to the request object before i pass it
 across to application.handle.

 cheers
