Do you mean this is an IWS service created with the Wizards? In that case, I have no idea how you could achieve this since the PCML for the RPG should have set the parm list properly for you.

If you didn't use PCML and coded it by hand, I suggest you re-do it with PCML.

If this isn't IWS related we'll need to know a lot more about how you set this up.

At this time, there is no way to tell IWS to ignore unexpected fields in a client request.  And the error happens prior to reaching the web service, so you cannot override the message.  However, work is being done on this and you should open an IDEA so we can prioritize.

It's not too complicated.  You'll want to access DCM and create a new "application" definition.  Then you can assign a certificate to that application, and use that application name in your HTTP server under the HTTPAdmin "Security" section.

You have the option of obtaining a certificate from DigiCert or other certificate authority, or using a "Local CA" within the DCM to generate a cert.  If you have full control over the client systems, you can just use the local CA and you won't have to pay for a cert.

I am making progress.  When I test with postman and send the reqeust as application/json and call QtmhRdStin( request:%Size(request) : rtnLen: err);   

Request comes back as #█ãÑ%ÈÁÊ██#█ëÁ/ÊÄÇ███ä êà████████████████'██████████████'   '   

bu if I send as text/plain from postman it comes back corectly formatted.  My question is how to I send it as application/JSON from postman and have it formatted correctly?

Thanks

Thank you nadir.  So I have to create these outside of IWS (Do it yourself version).  Probably better for me to learn JSON handling.  Any tips on how to program for where there is a datastructure coming in and going out (so input paramters not in URL like in Scott Klements example in the above PDF).  Once again I greatly appreciate all the help/advice!

At this time, there is no way to tell IWS to ignore unexpected fields in a client request.  And the error happens prior to reaching the web service, so you cannot override the message.  However, work is being done on this and you should open an IDEA so we can prioritize. 

We understand this is an important issue.

I did create this with the IWS wizard.  I was hoping that there was some configuration I could change (or add) that would allow it to ignore unrecognized field names from the request.   If that is not possible then I was hoping to also get some informatoin on how to send back a JSON error message when that error did occur (before it calls the RPG program).  So if an unrecognized field is sent and it gets a 500 error how to add the custom error message.  I already added teh following to the config file:

Any advice is greatly appreciated!  

Thank you

Do you mean this is an IWS service created with the Wizards? In that case, I have no idea how you could achieve this since the PCML for the RPG should have set the parm list properly for you.

If you didn't use PCML and coded it by hand, I suggest you re-do it with PCML.

If this isn't IWS related we'll need to know a lot more about how you set this up.

In IBM Web Admin for i, I have an http server running with a deployed service (that calls an RPGLE program).  It's all working great.   Is there a way to ignore unrecognized fields (keys) that are passed in so I do not get the error below?  

"Error 500: javax.servlet.ServletException: org.codehaus.jackson.map.exc.UnrecognizedPropertyException: Unrecognized field "BillAcctIddd" (Class iseries.wsbeans.getcustomers.CustomersFilterDS_T), not marked as ignorable

Happy to help out anyone avoid the same struggles as me and thanks for the kind words.   

Now that I have the HTTP server and my API program working, my next question is:  How do add security to my HTTP server?  Turn my "HTTP://" into "HTTPS://"?    Are there any good detailed instructions out there? 

thanks

Answered my own question and for future reference . . . . I just made the request field below CCSID(*UTF8) and it worked!

QtmhRdStin(request:%Size(request) : rtnLen: err);

I got it to work for application/json with:

Data-into InputDS
              %DATA('*STDIN':'doc=string allowmissing=yes allowextra=yes trim=all case=convert')
              %PARSER('YAJLINTO');     

Next question:  How do I do the same thing with XML?
