Hi-

This almost seems like a silly question, but I am new to REST services.

I have a rest service that has a method for adding records to my database. 

<Route Url="/userdetails" Method="POST" Call="SaveUserDetails"/>
 

My REST client sends data using json in the body of the request.  I have verified using debugging tools that the data is actually being sent.

On the server side in my SaveUserDetails method where do I find the json?

What is the proper way to serialize that json into an object?

I would like to write some code to parse a set of HTML pages from the internet in order to gather information from each web page.

All of the web pages are generated using a template, so the format of each of the web-pages is consistent with one-another and the information that I want to gather is always located in the same logical place within the page.

What is the best way to parse an html page in order to gather information at a specific place?

Can XML XPATH be used here?  Does anyone have any examples of parsing HTML content?

With the release of Cache 2016.1, JSON support was re-architected and made part of the core object model with the creation of %Object and %Array classes, which allow you to create dynamic JSON enabled objects and arrays.

On a recent demonstration I was working on, I had the need to create a REST web service that returned a JSON representation of a persistent object.  After searching for methods that would allow me to accomplish this, ultimately I found none, until now.

With the release of 2016.

Hi:

I'm looking for some help with JSON notation for a global structure.  I need a way to represent a global structure in JSON where the global structure both has a value at a given node as well as sub-nodes.

What would be the preferred method to create an HL7 message from an input that is not HL7?

Would it be better to take the non-HL7 input and construct an HL7 message in the business service that then gets passed off to a routing process, or would it be best to just pass the non HL7 message to a routing process that called a data transformation to create the HL7 message?

My thought is the later, due to the fact that updates to the creation of the HL7 message are done using the graphical DTL editor rather than editing COS in the service.

Hi-

I'm curious to know what InterSystems clients are using for csp based web development methodology.

Are you doing tag based development, or class based development?

If you are using tag based development, what tools are you using to create the look and feel of your web pages?  Are you using tools like Adobe Dreamweaver, or do your developers sit down and code HTML using plain editors like Notepad and Notepad++

Are you doing prototyping of web pages and then adding CSP tags, or are you just developing the finished csp page with no prototype?

Thanks

I have a CSP page that needs to allow the user to submit a file.  I have a form with an element in it <input type="file" name="file"/> which allows the user to select the file they want to upload from their local filesystem.  

How do I go about actually getting the file to be sent to the server?

What are the best steps for troubleshooting printing to a Windows printer from Cache.  The printer has been configured in the Windows Printer Manager and has been able to print a test page (from the windows print manager).

The device has been configured in Cache -> Sys Admin -> Config -> Device Settings -> Devices with properly formatted |PRN|printer device name and "W" for open parameters and 101 for Alias.

From a command prompt, O 101 U 101 write something U 0 C 101 doesnt output anything to the printer, but does create a document in the Windows print spooler.

A client stated to me that they are trying to eliminate SMTP servers from their network and want all email to be sent through their Microsoft Exchange Server.  Admittedly I am not very knowledgable of the workings of Exchange Server.

Are there customers sending email notifications through Exchange Server?  How is this accomplished?  Does Exchange Server act as a SMTP server allowing use of the Email adapter or is there some other mechanism that must be used to communicate with a Microsoft Exchange Server?

Hello-

I am working on an Ensemble demonstration that involves workflow.  Over the course of testing I have cleared out the Ensemble message store several times.  This has left several workflow tasks that no longer can be assigned, accepted or rejected.

How do I clear the Workflow Tasklist which is found by going to Ensemble -> Manage -> Workflow -> Workflow Tasks in the Ensemble Management Portal?

Thanks in advance

Attached is an example of a web service client that can be used to do a lookup against the CMS NPPES database to validate and retrieve information about a given National Provider Identification (NPI).

What types of solutions are out there for terminal based applications to output reports to a PDF document?  This is a roll-and-scroll application that has its own scripts for generating reports.  

In times past, terminal emulations have supported the concept of slave printing which seems like it should still be a viable solution.  I know that in previous lives I have been able to do slave printing with software such as ProComm+ by Symantec (not available anymore).

The attached code package provides a simple implementation of a web service client that utilizes the USPS Shipping API to normalize  an address.

This code requires the developer to obtain a USPS Shipping API user ID which can be obtained from the USPS shipping API website.  The assigned User Id can either be passed into the web service call as a parameter or can be coded as a parameter into the Request object.
