Hi,
I'm attempting my first REST connection in OD 8.0.0.2201. I'm using this endpoint provided to me

https://ea-mule-dev.corpadds.com/cea-ivr-sfdc-ivrprocess/v1/authenticate

with this json body

{
"IVRBranchId": "123",
"IVRPayrollId": "45670",
"IVRPin": "4321"
}

I first set this up in SoapUI and I get back the proper response shown here so I know the endpoint and body are accurate.

{
"result": "Success",
"message": "AuthenticationResponse",
"info": {
"Season": {"PayrollSeason": "RegularSeason"},
"Account": {
"Status": "Active",
"Platform": "Blue"
}
}
}

When I try to use that same endpoint and same Message Body values in the Web Service Operation Editor I get "Error: Content is not allowed in prolog."

Any ideas?

Thanks

You will need the attached patch to resolve this issue.

I gave that a shot.

I'm still getting the same error after applying the new jar and completely restarting.
"Error: Content is not allowed in prolog"

I'm getting the message when trying to save the WS file, not during the export of the application, if that makes a difference.

Check under the project's WEB-INF/lib to see of the jar file has been updated.

One more thing, the message body needs to start with "JSON":

JSON{
"x":"y"
}

Thank you so much it was the missing JSON before the body that solved the issue.

Still having an issue with the web service connector.

I have restResults configured as a simple variable you can see in the log that it shows Store [] to restResults, it's always empty despite the web service reply responding properly.

I've attached a screenshot of the Output Parameters section from my restNew.rest file if that helps.

Here I kick off a servlet to parse the json response but it is always blank.
8FD2DEE3314F590EE419D8681AB4A2D6:/Sandbox servlet : ParseJson

JSONObject json = new JSONObject(mySession.getVariableField(IProjectVariables.REST_RESULTS).getObjectValue());

Try changing the Output Format to either JSON or String.

Hi Wilson,
Still having an issue with receiving the complete REST reply to a simple variable.

You can see that the Web Service Reply is perfect, but the result (simple var) only contains the word "Failure", i need to contain the full JSON response {"result":"Failure","message":"Authentication : PIN entered does not match the existing PIN in the system","info":{}}

I've changed the output to JSON and get the same results, new screenshot attached.

ps. I know how to parse the object in java IF I could get the full reply as a json object into the simple variable. Thanks

Try to change the parameter name to "(ALL)" instead of "result".
"(ALL)" was the default.

This worked perfectly, I can't thank you enough.....thanks

Hello,

I am currently using AOD 7.2.1, Java 8, Tomcat 8.5.43 versions.

I am looking for a REST API sample java code trying to hit a https url.

Appreciate if you can please share it,

Thanks for your support.

Warm regards,
Jaydeep Hatekar

Would the OD REST connector not work? Otherwise, there is so much you can find by just googling.

Hi Wilson,

I did not use the in-built RESTful service within AOD. I did manage to develop the customized java code to hit a webservice via https url involving proxy.

Thanks for your support.

Warm regards,
Jaydeep Hatekar
