Hi Jesse, Yes, I am having a specific problem.
I'm using the ErRestRoutesExample app to do my testing - always easier to start
with a known good working project.
The call:
>> curl -X POST -d "{ name:'Andrew Schrag' }"
>> http://localhost:62092/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RESTExample.woa/ra/Person.json
Correctly creates a Person entity, populates it and inserts it into the
database.
The call:
curl -X POST -d "{'Person':{ name:'Andrew Schrag' }}"
http://localhost:62092/cgi-bin/WebObjects/RESTExample.woa/ra/Person.json
(that is, I've wrapped an identical chunk of JSON as a Person attribute)
creates an empty Person and returns a validation error (as the Person is not
being updated with the correct attribute data).
My issue is that I want to populate a Person with a JSON payload that is
wrapped in {Person: {[stuff that ERRest is expecting]}}
Hope that clarifies things, and thanks for your response.
