Java - API - create Instance - "This field is required"

[critak]

Hi !

thought it would be nice to open another thread for this theme.
Maybe it helps other :)

Ok, i can't create a instance! ... this is my code:

################################################

HashMap creaIn = new HashMap();
creaIn.put("hardware",
"aglzcG90Y2xvdWRyEAsSCEhhcmR3YXJlGIqDDAyiAQMxLjI");
creaIn.put("appliance",
"aglzcG90Y2xvdWRyDwsSB1BhY2thZ2UY0t8CDKIBAzEuMg");


System.out.println("Creat Instance:");
System.out.println(post(accessToken,"/api/v1/buyer/instances/
list", creaIn, "xml"));


################################################

My post method is simular to the get method:


################################################

public static String post(Token token, String path, HashMap
params, String respType) {
String paramString = "";

if(params != null) {
Set set = params.entrySet();
Iterator it = set.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)it.next();
paramString += "&" + entry.getKey() + "=" +
entry.getValue();
}
paramString = paramString.substring(1);
}

OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.POST,
host + path + "." + respType + "?" + paramString);

request.getUrl();
System.out.println("HIER: "+request.getUrl());

service.signRequest(token, request);
Response response = request.send();
return response.getBody();
}


################################################

i still receive :

<object>
<hardware>This field is required</hardware>
<appliance>This field is required</hardware>
</object>

Hi,

I'm not a Java guy, but from what I could make of your code, everything looks good.  You're posting to the correct resource, using the right parameters, etc.

My only thoughts are that the HTTP POST payload isn't getting through to the API for some reason, which would explain why the API processes your request, but doesn't find anything in the POST message.

Maybe there is a way you can dump the full HTTP message being sent.  If so, you could potentially try running the Python API example to compare the two.

Regards,

Adam

Help yourself:
;-)

Hope this will help others.
@ SpotCloud: Update your API Documentation.

    public static String post(Token token, String path, HashMap params) {
           
        OAuthRequest request = new OAuthRequest(Verb.POST, host + path + ".xml");

       
        if(params != null) {
            Set set = params.entrySet();
            Iterator it = set.iterator();
            while(it.hasNext()) {
                Map.Entry entry = (Map.Entry)it.next();

                request.addBodyParameter((String)entry.getKey(), (String)entry.getValue());

               
            }
        }
        service.signRequest(token, request);
        Response response = request.send();
        return response.getBody();       
    }

Best regards
