Re: [xwiki-devs] How to use RESTFUL API to insert Objects on Pages

Hi all. Short version of my question:  Can anyone point me to an example of adding object of a custom class to a page via the ReSTful API? And now for the long version of my question: I can successfully create a page using REST, but can't add an object.  Here is the problem step by step. 1) Using this XML definition in a file called AlinaPage.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwiki:page xmlns:xwiki="http://www.xwiki.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xwiki.org C:\Users\mwallace\ Desktop\xwiki_rest_model.xsd"> <xwiki:link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey/objects/XWiki.PersonClass/0" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/o bject"></xwiki:link> <xwiki:id/> <xwiki:fullName/> <xwiki:wiki/> <xwiki:space>Main</xwiki:space> <xwiki:name>Alina Frey</xwiki:name> <xwiki:title/> <xwiki:parent/> <xwiki:parentId/> <xwiki:xwikiRelativeUrl/> <xwiki:xwikiAbsoluteUrl/> <xwiki:translations/> <xwiki:syntax/> <xwiki:language/> <xwiki:version/> <xwiki:majorVersion>1</xwiki:majorVersion> <xwiki:minorVersion>0</xwiki:minorVersion> <xwiki:created>2011-07-02T12:32:00-04:00</xwiki:created> <xwiki:creator>XWiki.mwallace</xwiki:creator> <xwiki:modified>2011-07-02T12:32:00-04:00</xwiki:modified> <xwiki:modifier/> <xwiki:content>{{include document="XWiki.PersonSheet"/}}</xwiki:content> </xwiki:page> 2) I do the following command, which adds the page successfully: C> curl -u mwallace:password -X PUT --data-binary &quot;(a)AlinaPage.xml&quot;  -H "Content-Type: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey 3) The resulting page from a HTTP GET is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <page xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org"> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/space"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina%20Frey/history" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/history"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/syntaxes" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/syntaxes"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey" rel="self"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/classes/Main.Alina%20Frey" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/class"/> <id>xwiki:Main.Alina Frey</id> <fullName>Main.Alina Frey</fullName> <wiki>xwiki</wiki> <space>Main</space> <name>Alina Frey</name> <title>Alina Frey</title> <parent/> <parentId/> <xwikiRelativeUrl>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Alina+Frey</xwikiRelativeUrl> <xwikiAbsoluteUrl>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Alina+Frey</xwikiAbsoluteUrl> <translations/> <syntax>xwiki/2.0</syntax> <language/> <version>4.1</version> <majorVersion>4</majorVersion> <minorVersion>1</minorVersion> <created>2011-07-02T12:45:12-04:00</created> <creator>XWiki.mwallace</creator> <modified>2011-07-02T21:33:48-04:00</modified> <modifier>XWiki.mwallace</modifier> <content>{{include document="XWiki.PersonSheet"/}}</content> </page> 4)  But then, using this definition of an object in file AlenaObject.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwiki:object xmlns:xwiki="http://www.xwiki.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xwiki.org C:\Users\mwallac e\Desktop\xwiki_rest_model.xsd"> <xwiki:id/> <xwiki:guid/> <xwiki:pageId>Main.Alina Frey</xwiki:pageId> <xwiki:wiki/> <xwiki:space>Main</xwiki:space> <xwiki:pageName>Alina Frey</xwiki:pageName> <xwiki:className>XWiki.PersonClass</xwiki:className> <xwiki:number>0</xwiki:number> <xwiki:headline/> <xwiki:property name="_knows"> <xwiki:value>Main.Alena</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> <xwiki:property name="_knows"> <xwiki:value>Main.Judi Wallace</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> <xwiki:property name="name"> <xwiki:value>Alina Frey</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> </xwiki:object> 5) I try the following command, which does NOT insert the object properly: C> curl -u mwallace:password -X PUT --data-binary &quot;(a)AlinaObject.xml&quot;  -H "Content-Type: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey/o… 6) Rather, I get this error message: <html> <head> <title>Status page</title> </head> <body> <h3>The server has not found anything matching the request URI</h3><p>You can get technical details <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.5… Please continue your visit at our <a href="/">home page</a>. </p> </body> </html> What am I doing wrong? -- Mark Wallace Principal Engineer, Semantic Applications Modus Operandi, Melbourne, FL, USA _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
