Thanks for your quick response! I tried to connect to the REST services as
the administrator, but I still get a 404 error when trying to POST an
update:
Client client1 = Client.create(config);
client1.addFilter(new HTTPBasicAuthFilter("admin", "<adminpwd>"));
WebResource service1 = client1.resource(baseUri);
ClientResponse response1 = service1.path("users").path("100")
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.get(ClientResponse.class);
System.out.println("response1:"+response1.getStatus());
System.out.println("response1:"+response1.getEntity(String.class));
String s = "{\"password\":\"newpwd\"}";
ClientResponse response2 = service1.path("users").path("100")
.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
.post(ClientResponse.class,s);
System.out.println("response2:"+response2.getStatus());
System.out.println("response2:"+response2.getEntity(String.class));
The output is:
response1:200
response1:{"attributes":[],"id":100,"derivedAttributes":[],"virtualAtt ...
"failedLogins":0}
response2:404
response2:
Strangely, the first request, which is "GET /cxf/users/100" works. It
returns the JSON for the user.
The second request, which is "POST /cxf/users/100" (note that it is the
exact same path) returns 404. This seems strange.
Syncope version is 1.1.2.
