How to create datasource using REST v1 api

[vgaikwad]

Hi,

I am using the resource ("rest/resource") v1 rest api. and want to create a datasource on the server. As per the documentation I am using a plain vanilla web request (btw I am in c#).

http-method = "PUT"

content-type = "text/plain;  boundary={boundaryvalue}"

Payload looks like this:

--1afdzzMUQLfSOmu0Pgb2F-nmEnTwWuPf3

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="local"

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

<resourceDescriptor name="local" wsType="custom" uriString="/datasources" isNew="true">

<label><![CDATA[local]]></label>

<creationDate></creationDate>

<resourceProperty name="PROP_RESOURCE_TYPE">

<value><![CDATA[com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.jasperreports.domain.CustomReportDataSource]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

<resourceProperty name="PROP_PARENT_FOLDER">

<value><![CDATA[/datasources]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

<resourceProperty name="PROP_VERSION">

<value><![CDATA[0]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

<resourceProperty name="PROP_SECURITY_PERMISSION_MASK">

<value><![CDATA[33]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

<resourceProperty name="PROP_DATASOURCE_CUSTOM_SERVICE_CLASS">

<value><![CDATA[com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.jasperreports.service.ReportDataAdapterService]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

<resourceProperty name="PROP_DATASOURCE_CUSTOM_PROPERTY_MAP">

<resourceProperty name="fileName">

<value><![CDATA[http://local/json]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

<resourceProperty name="_cds_name">

<value><![CDATA[jsonDataSource]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

</resourceProperty>

<resourceProperty name="PROP_HAS_DATA">

<value><![CDATA[true]]></value>

</resourceProperty>

</resourceDescriptor>

On sending this to server I get "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden" error.

 

Any help is much appreciated. 

I have also tried changing the follow:

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="ResourceDescriptor"

It still give me the same error.

You'll need to send user/password to use to login to JasperReports Server with the request. That user would need privilege to write to the folder where the datasource will be created.

Hi hozawa,

Thanks for the response, that is not the case, I can change the pay load and create fodler. The session is created for a organization_1 > jasperadmin user which is kind of a administration profile.

Are there any working examples of the same? (i.e. creating datasource using resource api v1)

Thanks
