It took me _forever_ to figure this out. I abandoned all hope with the v1 REST route when none of the examples I found worked, including one sent to me by Jaspersoft support. Then on to v2! The docs are sorely lacking. This was the magic sauce to get it to finally work:
Important points:
- Use POST /rest_v2/resources/path/to/domain
- Request content type "multipart/form-data"
- "resource" content type "application/repository.semanticLayerDataSource+json" (assuming json)
- "resource" sent as content instead of file
- "resource" uses "schemaFile" property
Hopefully I can save someone else the untold hours I wasted!
