REST Services Problem

Does anyone have any experience with the REST services in clearspace (2.5.7)?

 

I'm trying to update a user's profile remotely and it works fine when the user has no value in a profile field, but once it is set, I can't seem to overwrite it via the service.

 

Does anyone know why this is or how to get around it?

 

I am trying to use the addProfile REST web service:

/rpc/rest/profileService/profiles

 

Thanks,

Ben.

Re: REST Services Problem

I am facing the same problem. I am using setProfile profile service with jive clearspace 3.0.0. I am able to update the profile field value if it is blank, but once filled i am not able to overwrite the value. Is there some other webservice which can be used to update the profile field value. Even addProfile service is not able to overwrite the value.

 

/rpc/rest/profileService/profiles
POST

 

<setProfile>
<userID>xyz</userID>
<profile>
<fieldID>xyz</fieldID>

<value>xyz</value>
</profile>
</setProfile>

 

Thanks
Gunjan

Re: REST Services Problem

Hi Gunjan,

 

I also raised a case for this with Jive and it should now have been fixed in SBS 3.0.2.

 

Kind Regards,

Ben.

Re: REST Services Problem

Not without editing the core webservice code for the profile service.

 

It's certainly technically possible, but will make maintenance difficult going forward.

 

You might try to first delete the profile for the user before updating it, but this is only possible if you're updating all the user's profile data every time.

 

Ben.
