Representational state transfer (REST) is a software architectural style that defines a set of constraints to be used for creating Web services. Web services that conform to the REST architectural style, called RESTful Web services (RWS), provide interoperability between computer systems on the Internet. RESTful Web services allow the requesting systems to access and manipulate textual representations of Web resources by using a uniform and predefined set of stateless operations. Other kinds of Web services, such as SOAP Web services, expose their own arbitrary sets of operations.
I am trying to design a RESTful service that takes a string (with control characters). Does something with that in the logic on the server, then returns a string, which may also have control characters.
Basically the string is a pharmacy claim in a delimited format that uses control characters for those delimiters. The logic on the server will pull the entire claim apart and process it.
I was thinking that a GET method could be uses but I'm used to sending content in JSON format and wondered what other normal RESTful ways there were to do this.
I'm trying to have my REST service return the entire data set for one of our legacy globals. Currently I am parsing the object from a SQL statement into generic objects to be returned like this:
I am taking some intro lessons in REST from the online courses. Below is a very simple code i wrote. But when i try to see the output by entering the url
Recently i've been using Restforms2 to create a CRUD API for a project. But it lacks some advanced functionality that we need, so we have created a production with a REST WS which handles those advanced methods. That works great but there's a drawback, it does not have authentication.
I would want to use the same authentication method as Restforms2 which is a basic auth using IRIS users and passwords.
We tested REST Services as described for Caché DocServer example and for requests using http protocol it works without problems. However when we use the https protocol for the same REST Service it is not available. Our infrastructure is as follows: Apache with openssl, which works on the other hand well for CSP with https. If we switch on the web gateway http trace facility we could see the request of CSP pages by https://... but again a request of a REST Service by https:// will not result in a entry in the tracer. We hope that this description of the problem is understandable.
Hello, our customer, large industrial company, is considering modernizing their old CSP application so it can run on multiple client device types, using responsive design.
They have a lot of experience with CSP and some ZEN.
They are new to REST and have some limited knowledge of javascript - perhaps not enough to the extent used by client framework.
Does anyone have a framework or a set of templates that you would be willing to share?
Good afternoon - I am in the process of writing a AngularJS front-end for some CoS functions that my integration team uses for auditing, analyzing and various other purposes. I have re-tooled the functions to return JSON results that AngularJS can then interpret and display. Many kudos to the AngularJS series on this site for giving me a jump start.
I am trying to find out if it is possible to decode the Azure access token in IRIS. Has anyone ever tried this before? I need to decode the token to extract the "Scope" details in order to verify the scope to make sure client is permitted to do the request they have done.
If you could point me to any information, that'd be great.
Hello everyone! I have to build a REST service that receives a POST HTTP-request, collect a file from that request in the Form data and then send it in another HTTP Post request through Form Data. However I can't really seem to send the file, and I do not know where it has gone wrong. All I am getting told is that no file is being received from my HTTP Post request. I am reaching the REST Service I am supposed to send the request to, but nothing is being sent.
Starting off with a working REST interface, I can access the CSP Application definition screen for the application (System > Security Management > Web Applications > Edit Web Application), and "turn off" the application by clearing the Enabled: [ x ] A
I'm wondering if is possible to extend the UrlMap.
I want to create a base class and one method will be in all extended classes, so I've tried to create the map route in parent class, and the specific methods in extended class. But it doesn't work.
I've create the method in parent class and I've wrote the map in extended class. It works, but I want to put it in base class to prevent forget this call.
Hello everyone! I am wondering how I can retrieve multipart form-data from a request that is coming into my REST-service. I am supposed to retrieve a string and a file. The file is being retrieved without issues, but the "testprofile" string is not being retrieved at all. It just logs a an empty entry. The request that is sent to my REST-service has the Content-Type: multipart/form-data Thanks beforehand for the help! :)
Down below is the code I use right now to retrieve the string and file from Form-data Rest HTTP-request to my service.
We have a Cache database in Azure, and want to expose it as an OData source (link).
My first attempt was to use Microsoft's Visual Studio 2017 and Entity Framework to create the data models...but it seems as if EF and Cache don't work together. (I do have those instructions from 2013, but they don't work. (See other post. Best answer seems to be "migrate to IRIS 2019.1.")
is there a way to get the Call-Parameter in an UrlMap to call a method that lies in another class?
Example:
I have a generic class 'RestApi' where I define all my routes for the different Rest-Services I offer - in order to get the same URL for every service.
We are trying to write an external backup application to backup Cache Database. After going through the Cache DB documentation, we have found that in Backup.General class there are methods for creating snapshot (Freeze/Thaw) which is required during backup. Are there REST APIs for the same?
Actually I am trying to implement a RESt API where in I will get ZIPCODE as request and I need to call external API which will take ZIPCODE as input and give State and City in response.
But the problem is the request is in XML Format and also response is in XML format.
Hello everyone! I am receiving a HTTP multipart/form-data request into my rest service. How can I read the values for each Key in the form? The key "Profile" is sent to my service as a String data type. The code I have below does not seem to work, where I try to read the Key profile in the form.
I'm trying to consume a REST Service that use Digest authentication, I'm trying to implement the authentication but I'm don't know where is my mistake.
Someone have already used this type of authentication.
Below the code I wrote to try to generate the response hash:
It is clear how to get the request header value with a specific name:
Class My.RestController Extends %CSP.REST
{
ClassMethod processRequest() As %Status
{
#dim request as %CSP.Request
set request = %request
set h = ##class(%REST.Impl).%GetHeader("...")
...
return $$$OK
}
But I can't figure out how to enumerate ALL the request headers (and also get all values).
We're creating a series of RESTful APIs that output data from a Cache database (made up of global storage that we've mapped to classes). I'm running into some problems with object-to-JSON conversions when relationships are involved. Eg:
ParentClass has children relationship to ChildClass
I created Business Operation in my ENSDEMO namespace that will connect to an external REST endpoint to send data to this external REST Service.
I also created an http service in Home>Healthshare>Service Registry, under the Service Type: http. I entered the REST endpoint Name, Host, SSL Configuration, and URL.
