Working on a small project to learn REST/Restlet and ran into a problem where
I can successfully post from a Java client to my server or from an HTML form
to my server, but when I try to post from Javascript it fails. I am
following the sample code that is now on github
(https://github.com/restlet/restlet-framework-js/tree/master/tests/org.restlet.js.tests/src/browser/static/html).
On the client side...
For Java (working), I have:
System.out.println("Adding a commitment");
ClientResource client3 = new
ClientResource("http://localhost:8888/commitments/";);
client3.setRequestEntityBuffering(true); // Per
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6462142/length-required-411-length-required-in-a-restlet-client
Commitment commitment3 = new Commitment();
commitment3.setTitle("Added through post - Java client");
commitment3.setDescription("This is a description of post Java
client");
Representation representation3 = client3.post(commitment3);
For Javascript (not working), I have:
asyncTest("Post with resource Commitment (json)", function() {
var clientResource = new ClientResource("/commitments/");
var commitment = {
title: "From automated test",
description: "This is from our automated test"
}
var jsonRepresentation = new JsonRepresentation(commitment);
alert(jsonRepresentation.getText());
// Result is: {"title":"From automated test","description":"This is from
our automated test"}
clientResource.post(jsonRepresentation, function(representation) {
console.log("representation.getText() = "+representation.getText());
// Note: commenting or not commenting out all the lines below doesn't
make a difference
//var jsonRepresentation = new JsonRepresentation(representation);
//var obj = jsonRepresentation.getObject();
//ok(obj.id, "1");
//ok(obj.title, "From automated test");
//ok(obj.description, "This is from our automated test");
start();
}, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
});
The error, as seen in the Javascript console, is:
ReferenceError at restlet-browser.js: 3175
arguments: Array[1]
0: "EncodingWriter"
length: 1
__proto__: Array[0]
get message: function getter() { [native code] }
get stack: function getter() { [native code] }
set message: function setter() { [native code] }
set stack: function setter() { [native code] }
type: "not_defined"
__proto__: Error
On the server side, I have methods to handle the different clients:
@Post()
public String add(Commitment commitment); // For Java post
@Post("json")
public String acceptJson(String value); // For JSON
@Post("form")
public Representation accept(Form form); // For HTML form
But the Javascript client does not appear to be even making the call to the
server.
Has anyone used the Restlet Edition for Javascript to do a post?
Thanks so much!
