Re: [topbraid-users] Accepting Large Payloads in a REST Service- Use POST?

[Scott Henninger]

Tim; You could pass it as a string (in the argument) but that does have size limitations.  You could use sml:ImportXMLFromURL for larger files. -- Scott On 4/17/2014, 3:15 PM, Tim Smith wrote: Hi Scott, I am using SPARQLMotion.  I know if I define a set of input variables to a script, those variables are bound for use within the script. If I were to send a request with something like the information below as part of the request, how do I reference this data within the script?

Just use the REST URL to call the script and the infrastructure will take care of the rest. -- Scott On 4/17/2014, 10:11 AM, Tim Smith wrote: Hi - I have a need to create/update resources in our triple store.  The data required is bigger than can be defined using attributes of a GET request and I understand GET is supposed to be used to get objects not create/update them. My question is if I call the web service using a POST request, how do I access the message body to parse the payload?  I would like to be able to pass in an XML structure to be parsed as the amount and structure of the data makes enumerating it as arguments impossible. My knowledge of REST is a bit limited so maybe I'm trying to do something that can't be done or maybe I'm missing something simple here... Thanks for your help!
