Hi All!
I am still getting my feet wet with ERRest. Does anyone have an example of a
REST call to a custom method on an EO that is not a model property and that
takes parameters? All of the examples that I have found use model properties
and just "automagically" work. The framework extracts the parameters and
updates modeled properties. The only example of a non-model property was
derivedCurrentTime but it doesn't use any parameters.
For example, given an address (or latitude / longitude coordinates) and a
distance, find all Practices within the specified distance from the address.
I'm unclear on how to extract the parameters and use them in a custom method.
Another example: I need to fetch all Practices that a Physician is associated
with. I can get the list of Practices and I can get the list of Physicians.
What is not clear is how to retrieve the Practices for the Physician. There is
a relationship defined between Physicians and Practices. I'm sure it will end
up requiring me to tweak my route setup.
This is from the ERRestRouteExample.
routeRequestHandler.addRoute(new ERXRoute(Person.ENTITY_NAME,
"/Person/{person:Person}", ERXRoute.Method.Get, PersonController.class,
"show"));
Would I change it to
routeRequestHandler.addRoute(new ERXRoute(Physician.ENTITY_NAME,
"/Physician/{physician:Physician}/{practices:Practice}", ERXRoute.Method.Get,
PhysicianController.class, "show"));
It doesn't seem to work. Also, is "show" the proper choice? This is being sent
to a client as data for a list and not displayed directly.
Is it OK to use addDefaultRoutes and also define additional routes? Or do I
need to manually add all the routes if I need to customize any?
Thanks,
Roger
