Re: Using the restful interface with view models

[Erik de Hair]

Still figuring some things out...

Is it possible to expose some service method using the RO viewer with 
complex type parameters like below?

public void exampleAction(Address address, String foo){
    // process input...
}

public class Address {
    private String zipCode;
    private String number;
}

I tried annotating the Address class with @ViewModel but then the RO 
viewer expects a link to an existing view model. I would like our 
external partners using the RO viewer to create json-objects (or xml?) 
that will be accepted by 'exampleAction'. How to do that?

Thanks,
Erik

Hi,

For some use case we have a Wicket wizard using Apache Isis view 
models where each step enriches the view model as returned by the 
previous step until it is ready to submit. I was trying to redo this 
using the restful interface but I can't figure out what's the objectId 
of the returned view model. I need that I to start the actions related 
to the next step.

So I have an action 
/objects/WbaAvailability/{objectId}/actions/startAccessOrderCopper/invoke 
where object WbaAvailability is a view model. An other action 
(executed before) returns a list of WbaAvailabilities. But how to use 
one of these and invoke the startAccessOrderCopper-action?

Thanks,
