Hi Dan, What I had done in the document was take screenshots of what I see in the web browser and I added annotations to convey my message. Given our limitations, let me attempt to convert all that to text.
Lets look at a simple one first. The URL is: http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/listAll <http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/listAll> The following is what I see onscreen: { "id" : "listAll", "memberType" : "action", "links" : [ { "rel" : "self", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/listAll";, "method" : "GET", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/object-action\"" }, { "rel" : "up", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users";, "method" : "GET", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/object\"", "title" : "Users" }, { "rel" : "urn:org.restfulobjects:rels/invoke;action=\"listAll\"", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/listAll/invoke";, "method" : "GET", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/object-action\"", "arguments" : { } }, { "rel" : "describedby", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/domain-types/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/listAll";, "method" : "GET", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/action-description\"" } ], "extensions" : { "actionType" : "user", "actionSemantics" : "safe" }, "parameters" : { } } My understanding of this is that if I visit: http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/listAll/invoke <http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/listAll/invoke> with no arguments I should get a list of all my Users from the database. This is not the case, in fact I get an error message: { "message" : "There is no application attached to current thread 1501572129@qtp-836514715-3", "stackTrace" : [

interested to know if this is an implementation problem in our app or if I am misusing the API? A more complicated scenario: The URL is: http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/create <http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/create> Again we are dealing with the Users object, but this time we’d like to create a new user. The following is what I see on screen: { "id" : "create", "memberType" : "action", "links" : [ { "rel" : "self", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/create";, "method" : "GET", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/object-action\"" }, { "rel" : "up", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users";, "method" : "GET", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/object\"", "title" : "Users" }, { "rel" : "urn:org.restfulobjects:rels/invoke;action=\"create\"", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/create/invoke";, "method" : "POST", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/object-action\"", "arguments" : { "firstName" : { "value" : null }, "lastName" : { "value" : null }, "pIN" : { "value" : null }, "type" : { "value" : null } } }, { "rel" : "describedby", "href" : "http://localhost:8080/restful/domain-types/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/create";, "method" : "GET", "type" : "application/json;profile=\"urn:org.restfulobjects:repr-types/action-description\"" } ], "extensions" : { "actionType" : "user", "actionSemantics" : "nonIdempotent" }, "parameters" : { "firstName" : { "num" : 0, "id" : "firstName", "name" : "First Name", "description" : "" }, "lastName" : { "num" : 1, "id" : "lastName", "name" : "Last Name", "description" : "" }, "pIN" : { "num" : 2, "id" : "pIN", "name" : "PIN", "description" : "" }, "type" : { "num" : 3, "id" : "type", "name" : "Type", "description" : "", "choices" : [ "some_user_type", "another_user_type", "super_user" ] } } } So here I do a POST request to: http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/create/invoke <http://localhost:8080/restful/services/com.ecntelecoms.vbx.domain.contact.Users/actions/create/invoke> with the following body as JSON: { "firstName": { "value": "REST" }, "lastName": { "value": "FUL" }, "pIN": { "value": "1234" }, "type": { "value": "super_user" } } This is the response I get: { "httpStatusCode" : 0, "message" : "Unrecognized token 'firstName': was expecting \n at [Source:
