Hiiii,

I am developing a small app using Restlet 2.0 API..

I want just to know how to create a URI which accepts more than one parameter for insert query.

Ex:

router.attach("/{patient}/insertpatient", insertpatient);

I want to insert all the info about the patient using POST.

Or Search by ID and address for instance using GET.

thanks,

For the "insert patient" operation, I'd suggest something like a POST to /patients (if the server generates the patient ID) or a PUT to /patients/{patient-id} (if the client generates the patient ID). Either way, the body of the message would contain all of the input data needed to create a new patient entity. Two simple options for serializing the data would be as a URL-encoded form or as JSON.

Lookup by by ID could be a simple as a GET on /patients/{patient-id}. Lookup by address could also be a GET, possibly using a URL-encoded query parameter. For example, you could fetch the patient at address "123 Main Street, apt 4, Anytown, USA, 98765" with a GET on /patients?addr=%20Main%20Street%2C%20apt%204%2C%20Anytown%2C%20USA%2C%2098765

  • so can you provide me with a code example for the PUT method for both client and server because I already did it but an error pops up indicating that the media type is not supported.. – dalia sobhi Apr 18 '12 at 16:26
  • as for the put method thank God it's resolved, but can you provide me with sample code of how to fetch patient using bith ID and address.. – dalia sobhi Apr 18 '12 at 19:03
  • sorry, I can't right now, as I'm away and won't be back at my computer for a few days. Perhaps someone else who is following this question could assist? – Andy Dennie Apr 18 '12 at 20:20
