Re: Using PUT with REST Plugin

[Stuart Ellidge]

Hi David,

Here is how we construct a URL in our JSP:

<form action="${basketDetailUrl}/${status.index}?_method=PUT" method="post">

So the key differences are:

 *   ID is part of the main body of the URL - not a parameter
 *   we use PUT as opposed to "put" (not sure it makes any difference, but 
haven't tested lowercase)
 *   _method is a URL parameter - not a form object

I'm guessing in your instance you will need something along the lines of:

http://localhost/service/json/customers/id?_method=PUT

This type of URL works nicely for us with JSON urls too (I noticed that your 
URL contains a JSON context):

${pageContext.request.contextPath}/product-quantity/" + friendlyCode + 
".json?_method=PUT

Regards
Stuart

Can someone show me using my example of how to use the PUT feature of
the REST Plugin.  I'll provide my example that doesn't work.  I need
to know if I'm setting this up correctly using GWT.  I can't get it to
work.  The Confluence showed id=Thrillers so I've also tried
&id=customers and that didn't work either.  I'm using the REST Plugin
on top of AppFuse for DAO and service managers.  I use RequestBuilder
in a static class to GET and POST.  The GET part works fine.

private static String EDIT_CUSTOMER_URL =
"http://localhost/service/json/customers/";;

private void postEdit() {
        formCustomer.setId(CustomerTable.getSelectedCustomer().getId());
        String url = EDIT_CUSTOMER_URL;
        //url = url.concat(formCustomer.getId());

        StringBuffer postData = new StringBuffer();

        postData.append("_method=").append(URL.encodeComponent("put"));
        
postData.append("&id").append(URL.encodeComponent(formCustomer.getId()));

        postData.append("&name=");
        postData.append(URL.encodeComponent(formCustomer.getName()));

        postData.append("&phone=");
        postData.append(URL.encodeComponent(formCustomer.getPhone()));

        Window.alert("Getting ready to post: " + postData.toString() +
" " + url );

        // POST
        RequestUtils.submitPost(url, postData);
        restoreCustomerDetailPanel();
    }

Thanks

David
