I was basing my program off of the samples on hapishir's website and the operation works in that I receive the JSON body and I'm updating the database. The issue I have though is that there is no response being returned. I build the MethodOutcome object, and "return" it, but nothing appears in postman. I've written @read and @Search operations also and those both return the resource in the response on Postmat, but this @Create doesn't return any response.
ObservationResourceProvider.java
public class ObservationResourceProvider implements IResourceProvider {
public ObservationResourceProvider() { }
@Override
public Class<? extends IBaseResource> getResourceType() {
return Observation.class;
}
@Create()
public MethodOutcome createObservation(@ResourceParam Observation observation){
OpenERMDatabase db = new OpenERMDatabase();
String newObservationId = db.addNewObservation(observation);
//return the new Id if success else return an error message
MethodOutcome retVal = new MethodOutcome();
if (newObservationId != null) {
retVal.setId(new IdType("Observation", newObservationId, "1.0"));
retVal.setCreated(true);
}else {
OperationOutcome outcome = new OperationOutcome();
outcome.addIssue().setDiagnostics("An Error Occurred");
retVal.setOperationOutcome(outcome);
retVal.setCreated(false);
}
return retVal;
}
}
