Mapping the Studio REST insertPlaydata URLs to Specific REST Services
Map a specific path for each REST service, paying special attention to what is passed into each one and how. For simplicity, this portion of the tutorial uses a Firefox browser plug-in to test that data can be updated using insertPlaydata.
To map insertPlaydata
1. Open the Studio Web service editor.
2. Select the REST tab.
3. In the Operations portion of the screen, select the insertPlaydata procedure.
4. In the lower portion of the Operations area, double click to select the value of the HTTP/XML endpoint.
5. Copy that endpoint URL into your REST client application development tool.
For testing purposes, you can try the ACTdata Web service insertPlaydata operation using a plug-in from your browser.
a. Paste the REST URL string into the browser RESTClient.
b. Make sure that the Method is set to POST.
c. Locate parameter values that are noted by curly brackets. This example replaces the values and submits the string as follows:
http://localhost:9400/xml/ACTdata/playdata?id_val=987&name_val=ARaisinintheSun&author_val=LorraineHansberry
d. Click SEND.
e. Type the Studio user name and password for the user who has access to the REST service.
6. Finish development of your REST client.
The exact steps depend on what tool you have chosen.
