Re: Reg: JSON Field Name modification in HTTPD Configuration File

Greetings, If you are using IWS.. you should also be able to update the swagger doc that IWS creates…just change the values there.

Thanks Tim

that is the only way Suren,

But why does it take a lot of time to promote the changed object to
production?
Is it due to the deployment dependencies of IWS? If so I completely
understand - that is one of the biggest pains when utilizing IWS.
I always discourage IWS and suggest the client uses a solution that
involves a little customized CGI programming directly interfacing the
Apache server.

thanks

Hi All,

I use an HTTP Server on IBMi with a CGI call method to handle my web
services. Typically, the JSON response data is generated in an RPG

program

and uploaded to the Standard Output location. The CGI method then

retrieves

this JSON data from Standard Output and sends it as a response to the
external client.

Currently, I have a requirement to modify the field names in the JSON
response. For example:
Original data:
{
"firstName": "John",
"lastName": "Doe"
}

Modified Data:
{
"customerFirstName": "John",
"customerCLastName": "Doe"
}

The goal is to change the field name "firstName" to "customerFirstName"

and

"lastName" to "customerLastName".


Is there a way to achieve this by adding some configuration to the

HTTPD

file, or is modifying the RPG code the only viable solution?

I’d greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions on this.
Regards,
Suren
