You're right. I've been trying things and composing emails and I got my
example wrong.
When the IWS configuration specified
Base resource URL: http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/RT0200S
Procedure name: GETCASESTATUS
HTTP request method: GET
URI path template for method: /{email}/{casenbr^[0-9]+$}
Input parameter mappings:
Parameter name Data type Input source Identifier Default
Value
PEMAIL char *PATH_PARAM email *NONE
PCASENBR packed *PATH_PARAM casenbr ^[0-9]+$ *NONE
I was trying what you said:
http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/RT0200S/myemail@xxxxxxxxxxx/13245
but when the IWS configuration specified
Base resource URL: http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/RT0200S
Procedure name: GETCASESTATUS
HTTP request method: GET
URI path template for method:
/email/{email}/casenbr/{casenbr^[0-9]+$}
Input parameter mappings:
Parameter name Data type Input source Identifier Default
Value
PEMAIL char *PATH_PARAM email *NONE
PCASENBR packed *PATH_PARAM casenbr ^[0-9]+$ *NONE
I was trying what I had in that previous email:
http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/RT0200S/email/myemail@xxxxxxxxxxx/casenbr/13245
as suggested by Tim Fathers. The former appears to be positional while the
latter shows the parameter name in the URL.
I'd be happy to get either one working to the point it calls the procedure
in my service program, but no luck in either case -- both get HTTP 404 -
not found.
Having said all that, I think I see the problem -- PEMAIL is char. I
think if I make that varchar I'll get somewhere. I'll try that tomorrow and
let everyone know one way or the other.

Looks to me like you're trying to use a query string type format
but to figure out what the IWS configuration translates to in practice. It

Hi Brad,
Speaking for myself, the problem is not deciding which format to use,
seems to do a lot for you, but so far I haven't been able to go from what I
specify in IWS:
Default Value
Base resource URL: http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/RT0200S
Procedure name: GETCASESTATUS
HTTP request method: GET
URI path template for method: /{email}/{casenbr^[0-9]+$}

HTTP header array output parameter: *NONE
Allowed input media types: *ALL
Returned output media types: *XML
Input parameter mappings:
Parameter name Data type Input source Identifier
*NONEPEMAIL char *PATH_PARAM email
*NONEPCASENBR packed *PATH_PARAM casenbr ^[0-9]+$
understanding was that with the above configuration, I should use
to what URL I have to use to invoke that procedure/method. My

but I consistently get HTTP 404 - not found.
If I can get past that hurdle, then deciding what flavor to use will be

Booth,
It would do yourself a favor and others new to RESTful requests and
services to search the net for that sort of answer. There are a few
youfamiliar with it, but there is so much free information out there that
RESTfulshould familiarize yourself with first.
Another nice way to look at a LOT of examples is look at Google's
payloadAPIs for all their services. Calendar is one:
https://developers.google.com/calendar/v3/reference/
You'll see a lot of options for URI paths, query string options,
docs.options, etc. Especially when you really dig down into some of the

Agreed on all of that but in reading Tim Fathers' response, it looks
theme like we should be using queryparm instead of a pathparm?
Like this: http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/ftoc?90 - or something
- ???
This has been a long trip for me, and fun every bit of the way. That

Hi Booth,
If you already created the temperature conversion example using IWS
and have it running, then you can use the "Manage Deployed Services"
link, select the correct resource from the list and click the
Properties button.
On the General tab that's displayed you'll see
Base resource URL: http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/ftoc
Copy and paste that to a browser's address bar and add the
threadconvert, e.g.
http://1.2.3.4:10010/web/services/ftoc/90
The response I get (shown in the browser) is
<CONVERTTEMPResult>
<TEMPOUT>32.22</TEMPOUT>
</CONVERTTEMPResult>
Btw, thanks for all your posts about this subject. Reading that
saywas a great help in my project.

While I agree the definition of REST can be pretty flexible and
there are no hard and fast rules, I think it is a fairly well
established rule of thumb that the URL should generally identify
meanresource, not the query parameters. The body (which I think you
distanceby "standard input") is where the payload should go, and should not
be used on on a GET request in any case.
In some APIs the resource is not a "thing" but a function, in which
case it is considered ok to pass query parameters to it in the URL
for a GET or in the body for a POST. The example of this from my
favourite REST book "The RESTful Webservices Cookbook" is a
mailing--calculator. So /calc_distance?from=wiesbaden&to=frankfurt is ok
because "distance" is not a thing but a function.
Tim.
