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

no matter how you minimize it, it is a task the programmer cannot do and
has to rely on others for (in my experience)... if that sysAdmin is out, it
is possible you may not get to promote your minor changes api pgm until
they are back.
this has always been an unnecessary nuisance in my experience

thanks

Sure you have to deploy the updated program and the service but the service
it's just the program's mirror and intalling takes just few lines of code:

nomeScript = 'installWebService';
cmdString = pathComandoQSHIWS
+ nomeScript + '.sh '
+ '-server ' + WebServer + ' '
+ '-printErrorDetails '
+ '-programObject ' + LibPath + WebService + 'X.PGM '
+ '-service ' + WebServiceName + ' '
+ '-userid *SERVER '
+ '-detectFieldLengths '
+ '-serviceType *REST '
+ '-host localhost '
+ '-propertiesFile ' + ProPath + WebService + '.cnf'
+ Redirect
+ nomeScript + '.txt' ;

every shop I have worked with that deploys webservices with IWS, not only
had to promote their rpg webservice program via the normal CMS route,
there
also had to be additional communication with a sysAdmin to deploy those
webservices to the "next level"

Sure I'd think these steps may be able to be configured with the CMS but
none of these shops did and they were additional steps nonetheless.
A big part of this was probably the requirement with PCML usage - which
is
also another non necessity as well.

thanks

Hi Jay, we use IWS and didn't find any "deployment dependencies" in
five
years.

Update a service or a program makes no differences.

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm sure you'll explaine why.

Best regards

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 Jay,

So the only option for me is to change the RPG program.

Thanks a lot Jay.

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
