Hi Peter,
Somehow I missed that reply – great, that did the trick!
Thanks a lot,

Hi Gary,
Regarding fixing your 500 error, see my previous response for how to fix it.
Either my catalina.log or dspace.log (I forget which) was saying that I had my
database config settings wrong instead of my /dspace/config/dspace.cfg, it was
looking for a /devel/dspace/config/dspace.cfg.
Also, I think you are supposed to run
create_integration_test_db.sh<https://github.com/hedtek/dspace-rest/blob/master/create_integration_test_db.sh>
======
I did spend a little bit of time trying to build some type of client user
interface based off of REST. I couldn't decide if there was a "best"
language/framework for doing this easily, so I just started playing with Play!
Framework to make some HTTP requests to the API. It was fairly easy to get
started, and it has pre-included support for parsing JSON.
A few "bugs" perhaps... ?
The documentation says there is a method to get the count of the number of
total collections.
https://jspace.atlassian.net/wiki/display/DSPACEAPI/GET_collections_count
However, accessing that endpoint didn't seem to do anything, except for error
out that it didn't exist.
http://localhost:8080/rest/collections/count.xml
Same with communities/count.xml
When trying to dig deeper, and get the count number of items in a collection, I
also ran into issues.
collections/:id:/items/count.format
just gave me the same data as
collections/:id:/items.format
If anyone has any app they've written to help test the REST API then I'd be
interested in it. (I'm thinking more an app the resembles a DSpace user
interface, then a Unit test). I started to look at the GSOC 2011 Rest Client,
so I suppose that could be something to look at.

Hi Hayden,
Yes, like helix84 said, I can get a .war output that way which unpacks ok under
Tomcat. But I'm new to REST and need some pointers on how to test it.
What I started with was issuing URIs to a browser (just manually entering them):
http://$dev-server/rest/
This results in a "describe" page being displayed. Promising, I thought. Let's
try one of the entities. When I clicked on communities or communities (xml),
once again I get describe pages displaying in the browser. Great.
Now if I try something like:
http://$dev-server/rest/communities
I get a blank page. The catalina log is attached. Would you have any idea
what's going on here?
I even tried a simple curl script in PHP and didn't get any errors, but also
produced a blank page output.
Thanks a lot,
Gary
