Hi Larry,
Sorry, that <code> was my posting to a forum vs e-mail list brain snap...
I've since discovered that for my XML example (among others) to be included as
the payload for a JSON object then all the "JSON illegal chars" (e.g. ", /, \)
in the XML need to be escaped (e.g. \", \/,\\).
With this basic filter in place both ends I can do what I want and at least
evaluate the results etc. without (yet) having to JSON-ize our code.
I'm also looking into direct socket comms as suggested by our VAR too as well
as SOAP as suggested by Kurt.
Many thanks for the replies.
Cheers
Peter

Curious why you're mixing XML & JSON in your "converted" example?
Shouldn't that read:
{"code":
{"batchRequests":
{"BatchRequest":
{"referenceNumber": "f549c4dd-01f4-4b9b-99e2-6dd6862cf364",
"serviceRequest":
{"SERVICE":
{"-name":"VALID.POST.CODE",
"PORTAL_USER_ID": "testuser",
"POSTCODE": "4300",
"SUBURB": "GOODNA"}
}
}
}
}
}

Subject: [U2] Exchanging XML data instead of JSON between hosts via RESTful
Server
Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to configure a RESTful service subroutine to accept XML as
the input to one of its defined parameters?
I keep getting the following error:
500:
Expected+a+','+or+'}'com.rs.u2.u2rest.marshaller.U2JSONTokenizer@13c33b7
The subroutine has 2 parameters XML.IN in Position 1 and XML.OUT in Position
2. Each type is set to string.
Normally this program is used elsewhere in our other services so it is
already XML ready.
I've converted my test xml to json and tried that. While the error
disappears the response while valid xml (output from the program) is
otherwise empty. (I changed the type from string to json too).
If I key in any random string I get the same valid yet empty program
response.
So how do I configure the server to pass this xml string straight to the
subroutine?
Perhaps I need to convert some of the characters (e.g. '/' in the xml below
as per uri requirements?
Is it possible or am I way off course here?
Sample xml:
<code>
<batchRequests><BatchRequest><referenceNumber>f549c4dd-01f4-4b9b-99e2-6dd686
2cf364</referenceNumber><serviceRequest><SERVICE
name="VALID.POST.CODE"><PORTAL_USER_ID>testuser</PORTAL_USER_ID><POSTCODE>43
00</POSTCODE><SUBURB>GOODNA</SUBURB></SERVICE></serviceRequest></BatchReques
t></batchRequests>
</code>
Converted to json:
<code>
{"batchRequests": {"BatchRequest": {"referenceNumber":
"f549c4dd-01f4-4b9b-99e2-6dd6862cf364","serviceRequest": {"SERVICE":
{"-name":"VALID.POST.CODE","PORTAL_USER_ID": "testuser","POSTCODE":
"4300","SUBURB": "GOODNA"}}}}} </code>
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers
Peter
