Hi All,
Thankyou for the emails that I received with helpful webpages (Serge
especially). My prototype (see parent post) is now working, and each
resource is simply returning a static XML document containing parameters
passed through in the URI.
I now have moved forwards and have a few more questions. I would like to be
able to properly handle all the CRUD operations based on the HTTP verb
coming in. I will override the allow*() methods to return true; I will also
override and implement the handle*() methods too (do i need to call super in
these?)
Questions:
1) How can I submit PUT and DELETE HTTP requests to my URIs, to test that my
various handler methods are working? Obviously GET and POST ones can be
issued by knocking up a simple form...
2) When I eventually issue PUT and POST requests, how do I pass in data to
create and update (respectively) the resources?
3) After getting all the verb methods firing off for the various resources,
I'll be wanting to properly persist and return real data from a database. I
noticed that there is a JDBC connector, that you can pass in SQL embedded in
XML format. Is this the proper way to do this (to keep inline with the
framework) or would it be better to establish my own JDBC connection and
get/modify/update/delete the data directly myself.
...Getting there...
Thanks,
Marcus.
