I need to send a File using a POST to a external DMS system . The REST Call URL is successful using this successful POSTMan snippet
POST /dms/dmsrest/api/v1/externalsystems/PDMaximo1/botypes/ASSET/boids/BEDFORD:12100/documents HTTP/1.1
Host: myserver.mydomain.com
dmsticket: **AA*
Cache-Control: no-cache
Postman-Token: 5bcd1c67-2cb7-fc76-7d92-e93a771b5250
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="body"
{"Name":"Appukili"}
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="helloworld.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain
------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--
The file I pick from my desktop using the POSTman control. I wrote a simple java class file simulating the POST without using any advanced libraries just URLConnection and that also is successful. I replicated the POSTman payload in that, I am trying to use a HTTPHandler. So in the header I stuffed the header you see in the POST example
I come to the TEST screen and put a * I get this
org.jdom.input.JDOMParseException: Error on line 1: Content is not allowed in prolog.
at org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder.build(SAXBuilder.java:504)
at org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder.build(SAXBuilder.java:807)
at psdi.iface.util.XMLUtils.convertBytesToDocument(XMLUtils.java:309)
at psdi.iface.app.endpoint.MaxEndPointTestSet.execute(MaxEndPointTestSet.java:126)
When I read the documentation of this handler it says the TEST screen has to have valid XML so if I fake a XML struct then the message changes something like this
So in closing if my REST API needs multipart formdata and the file that needs to go out also has to be specified
will HTTPHandler be the right one or would I extend this and change the headers and also add the multipart form data
myself as my standalone java class does?
Does the Tester expect XML to be put there ?
is there a simple example for me to follow
I registered a free weathermap key as well
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/uvi/forecast?lat=-33.8688&lon=151.2093&cnt=7&appid=58ae6a7dfeb1eda54this works in browser but not in the HTTPHandler
Any help you can point out is appreciated :) this is Maximo 7.6.1.2
