application variables in REST app in lucee and application.cfc

[Stéphane MERLE]

Hi,

I am using coldfusion for years now but I am still in the old way of coding with the application.cfm and the tag version of the code .... (yeah I know, I am playing the old guy but it's from the jeremy allaire old time).

I am puting together an API REST with lucee ... and I am not able to set any application variables ... getting stuck on this is just upsetting me so bad ...


so I have an application.cfc with that kind of code :

component output="false"
{
    this.name = "apirest";//RestAPI
    this.applicationTimeout = createTimespan(0,2,0,0);
    this.restsettings.skipCFCWithError = true;
   
    this.nom0='bonjour0'; //debug test
    variables.nom1='bonjour1'; //debug test
    application.nom2='bonjour2'; //debug test
   
    public function onApplicationStart()
    {
        writeLog(file="apilog", text="Lancement REST API");
        this.nom0_b='bonjour0_onappstart';
        variables.nom1_b='bonjour1_onappstart';
        application.ipgranted = "195.258.70.167";
        application.logname = "api";
        application.logname_error = "api_error";
        return true;
    }
   
    public function onApplicationEnd()
    {
        writeLog(file="apilog", text="FIN REST API");
        return;
    }
   
    public boolean function onRequestStart()
    {
        writeLog(file="apilog", text="Request START");
        return true;
    }
   
    public void function onError(e){
        writeLog(file="api_error", text="#GetFunctionCalledName()# called avec #serialize(e)#");
        writeDump(var=e, label="ERROR");
        abort;
    }
}

and I have just this in a test.cfc file :

component restpath="/test" rest="true" displayname="get test"{
    remote any function get_test(numeric id restargsource="Path") httpmethod="GET" restpath="{id}" {
       
        dump(application);
        dump(variables);
        dump(super);
        dump(REQUEST);
        return;

    }
}

an if I call the test page with a GET :

http://api.distrigame.com/api/1.0/test/1

(I did change REST by API in the server.xml page)
it display the variables but I see nowhere any of the variables I set !
none of them ....

whats wrong ???

Looks like you have missed a few steps

Here are some notes I started on

    http://webonix.net/page/tutorials/rest-tutorial

Some pointers

The URL for will always start with /rest (or as defined in server.xml)

Then the the rest application mapping - set up in Lucee admin or with

    http://docs.lucee.org/reference/functions/restinitapplication.html

Then the path to the resource 

So will be something like

    /rest/api/test/1

If you want a version number in the URLs add it to restpath- most likely on the component

Sorry I missed your answer ...

I did manage it to work just by restarting lucee on both nodes. It triggered the application restart and reload the application variables.

this part of code doesn't do it :
if (structKeyExists(url, "refreshRestServices") or structKeyExists(url, "reset"))
        {
            restInitApplication(getDirectoryFromPath(getCurrentTemplatePath()), this.name);
        }

Thanks
Stéphane

why CFML people insist on using /rest for the url astounds me. no-one does that in the real world but cfml engines... 

Can someone tell me where this odd behaviour comes from?

it is defined in web.xml

<servlet-mapping>

<servlet-name>RestServlet</servlet-name>

<url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>

</servlet-mapping>

you can change it to whatever you like

A separate mapping is required because a different servlet handles ReST calls
