Hello,

I am trying to host restful API with ITX launcher but I encounter some issues.

The importer openAPI generate the system, map and typetree for the operation GET /employees/{employeeNumber}

Launcher Event Command generated is "-URL http://localhost:5618/TestWebApp/resources/employees/{employeeNumber} -session * -METHOD GET -TV -HDR+ -TYPE application/json"

So for a restful API calling the URL  http://localhost:5617/TestWebApp/resources/employees/000010  should work but that is not the case with ITX launcher.

I do some correction in the generate map in order to make it work with the Launcher Event Command : "-URL http://localhost:5618/TestWebApp/resources/employees/000010 -session * -METHOD GET -TV -HDR+ -TYPE application/json"

But it not work with a dynamic URL path parameter with the Launcher Event Command generated  "-URL http://localhost:5618/TestWebApp/resources/employees/{employeeNumber} -session * -METHOD GET -TV -HDR+ -TYPE application/json"

Has anyone a solution to make it work? ( missing HTTP option for this case ?)

Regards,

Julien

I believe your post should be to a static address/link/document name.  You can pass the employee number as content.  You might try something like this but you may need to update your type tree definition. Your map would then call the application and post the results back.

-url http://localhost:5618/TestWebApp/resources/employees/employeeNumber -type text/html  -session * -method POST -LSN 0

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><employeeNumber>eenum</employeeNumber>

The fact is if with ITX launcher we are limited to static URL, we loose the main advantage of restfull API to use path parameter.

Your workaround is more like a SOAP webservice solution than a restful API solution.
