*access*:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/api/parse_as_rest/auth_event.json
*traceback error:*
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/MacBookPro/project/python/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line
219, in restricted
exec(ccode, environment)

"/Users/MacBookPro/project/python/web2py/applications/test/controllers/api.py",
line 11, in <module>
@service.run
NameError: name 'service' is not defined
*question:*
1. why the error is occured while accessing the* parse_as_rest()* function?
i know the solution is uncomment the import and initiate a service object
2. let say comment the #@service.run or uncomment the import and initiate a
service object, when accessing the url :
http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/api/parse_as_rest/auth_event.json
*result:*
*no matching pattern*
the same thing, while accessing auth_group, auth_user
3. should *session.forget()* been used in call function? what is the best
practice (comment it or not)
4. let say plan to use web2py as an api server (define table in models or
modules and create controller like an example above), is it best practice
to use the minimalist web2py?
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/14/other-recipes#Building-a-minimalist-web2py
5. interest in the syntax *validate_and_insert(**vars)*, what is the logic
behind that? plan to learn it and use with another micro framework, e.g.
slim or express to learn build an api server
any idea?
thx and best regards,
stifan
