Re: Railo Express

[Adam Tuttle]

Hi Richard,

Here's a few things to try:

In the dashboard, hit the Reload API Cache button in the upper right. This will re-scan your resources.

I'm not sure that Jetty supports the URL format "index.cfm/whatever" which is what Taffy uses by default. Thanks to a contribution from Marco Betschart, we now support the url format: "index.cfm?endpoint=/test" (see the list of variables.framework settings in the wiki to customize this)

If the above doesn't help, I would recommend at least trying your API on an instance of Railo on Tomcat. Tomcat doesn't support wildcard mappings (so no index.cfm/* without adding a specific mapping for every api you create) but several people on this list use Taffy + Railo + Tomcat, so they should be able to help you!

HTH,
Adam

Dear all

Having struggled with the new railo rest interface only to discover,
eventually, that I will have to wait for a later version for it to
output xml, I thought I should try taffy.

I have what I think is probably a vanilla taffy install at webroot/api
with a webroot/api/resources/ and webroot/api/taffy/<the complete
taffy 1.2.0>
and in resources I put one resource <cfcomponent
extends="taffy.core.resource" taffy_uri="/test"> etc. as per
https://github.com/atuttle/Taffy/wiki/So-you-want-to:-Create-a-dead-simple-CRUD-API


This is on railo-express-4.0.3.006-jre-win32

So... if I go to http://127.0.0.1:8888/api then I get the taffy
dashboard as expected.

However - I assume below where it says Resource | URI | Methods there
should be a list of available resources in my API - very handy, but
there are none in any of my experiments
And if I try to access the resource I made at
http://127.0.0.1:8888/api/index.cfm/test then I get HTTP ERROR 404
Problem accessing /api/test. Reason: Not Found Powered by Jetty://

Obviously something fundamentally wrong, but what?
As I understand, no mapping is necessary for where I've put taffy,
it's not throwing any railo errors
I imagine this might be a jetty config issue?
I don't mind using an older version of railo if this problem is
something with v4, but it does have to be Railo Express because
eventually I want my app to be very simply portable in a zip file.

Can someone help?

Thanks

Richard

Refreshing the app definitely makes no difference however I'll try the other things you suggest

Thankyou for your help.

BTW - my earlier statement about the railo rest interface not producing home-built xml wasn't entirely true - I've since discovered the way to do it just isn't documented.

I have just discovered Taffy and I am having the same problem. I have the Tomcat version now, and I am going to give it a try tonight. I will post back if I get Express working.
