Creating a folder using the REST service.

[spierepf]

Greetings,

I am trying to create a folder in the JRS repository using the REST service. I am using Ruby and the rest-client library to connect.

So far, I've managed to read stuff from the repository, but I haven't had much luck with altering the repository contents.

My test case is to create two folders at the root of the repository. A parent folder at /parent, and a child folder at /parent/child. Here is the resource descriptor of the parent folder.

<resourceDescriptor name="parent" wsType="folder" uriString="/parent">  <label>REST created folder</label>  <resourceProperty name="PROP_PARENT_FOLDER">    <value>/</value>  </resourceProperty></resourceDescriptor>

No matter what I try, I get an error 400 BadRequest, with a 'Invalid resource descriptor' message.

Has anyone had any success with creating folders?

Peter.

I've installed TcpMon and captured the request:

PUT /report/rest/resource/ HTTP/1.1Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=32032Accept: */*; q=0.5, application/xmlAccept-Encoding: gzip, deflateHost: localhost:8080Content-Length: 315Authorization: Basic c3VwZXJ1c2VyOnN1cGVydXNlcg==--32032Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ResourceDescriptor"<resourceDescriptor name="parent" wsType="folder" uriString="/parent" isNew="true">  <label>REST created folder</label>  <resourceProperty name="PROP_PARENT_FOLDER">    <value>/</value>  </resourceProperty></resourceDescriptor>--32032--

and the response:

Did you get this working? I'm having the same issue.

By putting the xml as the body of the put request I got a folder created, but it returned an empty document code 201 instead of the xml resource descriptor it says I should receive in the manual.

Hi Rossi,

Can you please let me know the procedure how you are creating a folder.

Thanks!

For anyone still trying to do this, here is an example that worked for me. Creating the folder "Reports" under myorg locally.

Using PUT

url = 'http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro/rest_v2/resources/organizations/myorg/Reports'

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/repository.folder+json'}

content = {"uri" :"/organizations/myorg/Reports", "label":"Reports", "description":"Create and save your own reports here.", "permissionMask":"0", "creationDate": "2013-07-04T12:18:47", "updateDate": "2013-07-04T12:18:47", "version":"0"}
