  • 1.  404 error when using multiple path parameters in IBM i IWS

    Posted yesterday

    I am building a REST API using IBM i Integrated Web Services (IWS).

    Currently, the API works correctly when I pass a single path parameter (customer number) and returns the expected record.
    For example, the following URL returns a valid response when I pass customer number 01010:

    

    

    

    

    

    

    http://localhost:10099/web/services/CUSTQRYXX/01010

    Now I would like to pass multiple path parameters, such as customer number and area code, to retrieve a record using both values.

    I tried calling the API with an additional path parameter (area code 02) as shown below, but this results in a 404 Not Found error:

    

    

    

    

    

    

    http://localhost:10099/web/services/CUSTQRYXX/01010/02

    The parameters in IWS are configured as path parameters.

    My questions are:

    • Is it supported to specify multiple path parameters in an IWS REST service?

    • If so, what configuration is required on the IWS side to handle multiple path parameters?

    • Are there common causes of a 404 error in this scenario (IWS service definition, parameter mapping, ILE program interface, URL format, etc.)?

    Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated...

    Thank you

    Dear Koga-san

    Have you tried :   localhost:10099/web/services/CUSTQRYXX?customer_number=01010&area_code=02

    In order to specify multiple pieces of information in path, you must deploy web service with URI path template.  Something like /{custno}/{areaCode}.  And then you need to inject those parameters in corresponding input parameter.  

    Example is given in https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/system/files/inline-files/IWS-Building-REST-Service-Part-3_0.pdf, figure 11.
