Hi all,
I’m working on new web UI ( I used Vaadin for this UI) to allow our users to 
send distributions to specific targets.
In our UI we have just to display all existing distributions and I wonder how 
to query the distributions with the Client Rest API?
I read the following link:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ACE/Client+REST+API

  

Some one can tell me what is wrong with this REST-client code (I used Jersey):
1) I suspect the path is wrong: "ace/workspaceID/distribution" ?
2) or may be REST-server is not set ?
  
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilder;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.Client;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.WebResource;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.config.ClientConfig;
import com.sun.jersey.api.client.config.DefaultClientConfig;
public class ClientTest{
   public static void main(String[] args) {
    getDistributions();
   }
   
   public static void  getDistributions() {
      ClientConfig config = new DefaultClientConfig();
      Client client = Client.create(config);
      WebResource service = client.resource(getBaseURI());
      // Get JSONfor application
      
System.out.println(service.path("workspaceID").path("distribution").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).get(String.class));
      // Get XML for application
      
System.out.println(service.path("workspaceID").path("distribution").accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML).get(String.class));
   }
   private static URI getBaseURI() {
     return UriBuilder.fromUri("http://localhost:8080/ace";).build();
   }

Thanks and Regards,

You should create a association between a distribution and a target, 
this is called distribution2target and is a resource that can be created 
with a post to ace/workspaceID/distribution2target (see 
http://ace.apache.org/user-doc/restapi.html).
