Hi Ernest,

It should not be a problem. You can checkhttps://s.apache.org/x4pk8 Jacques

Good morning Jacques

Many thanks for your insights into truck,   22.01 etc.

I've tried the trunk REST-Api and it works (y) so subject to the obvious
question - does migrating from 18.12.08 to trunk require any database
changes or is it as per your last advice on upgrading to 18.12.08 that its
mainly function and security?

If its a simple upgrade then I'll move to trunk from 18.12.08

thanks and kind regards

Actually the 22.01 branch is eventually not expected to be released . We
would pass directly to 23.xx, if ever exists. Else we would create a 24.xx
branch.

For now only the 18.12 branch is official.

Good evening Jacques,

Thanks for the response.  When you suggest using the 22.01 branch can I

ask

how close this might be to general availability so that I can
decide whether to use that.  I have a friend that would like to try Ofbiz
in his factory so I am looking to reassure him that Ofbiz meets all of

his

business requirements.  I

thanks and kind regards

Hi Ernest,

Indeed, the REST API plugin has been added after the creation of the

18.12

branch :https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-11328

So you will need to use the trunk or the 22.01 branch. We expect to

create

a 23.xx branch, but that's not quite sure.

Good morning everyone

I've tried to install the REST API plugin into 18.,12.08.   Running
./gradlew build I get a series of errors similar to:

/home/ernest/ofbiz-18.12.08/plugins/rest-api/src/main/java/org/apache/ofbiz/ws/rs/resources/OFBizServiceResource.java:9

3: error: cannot find symbol
               if (service != null && service.isExport() &&
UtilValidate.isNotEmpty(service.getAction())) {
                                             ^
     symbol:   method isExport()
     location: variable service of type ModelService

in OFBizServiceResource.java I see:

    ModelService service = context.getModelService(serviceName);
               if (service != null && service.isExport() &&
UtilValidate.isNotEmpty(service.getAction())) {

checking the class definition for ModelService  there appears to be no
method definitions for the isExport(),

getAction(),isAuth(),getName().....

so it appear that the plugin has not provided these additional methods.

Any help in locating a fix would be appreciated

thanks in advance

Ernest
