| 10 | | Information on alternatives is listed below: |
| 11 | | {{{gluon/tools.py}}} supports easy exposing of functions to XMLRPC or JSONRPC: |
| 12 | | * http://web2py.com/examples/default/tools#services |
| 13 | | * http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/53086d5f89ac3ae2 |
| 14 | | (originally in T3: http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/9ec8b06b158adb75): |
| 15 | | |
| 16 | | Model: |
| 17 | | {{{ |
| 18 | | from gluon.tools import Service |
| 19 | | service = Service(globals()) |
| 20 | | }}} |
| 21 | | Controller: |
| 22 | | {{{ |
| 23 | | @service.jsonrpc |
| 24 | | @service.xmlrpc |
| 25 | | @service.amfrpc |
| 26 | | def organisation(): |
| 27 | | "RESTlike CRUD controller" |
| 28 | | return shn_rest_controller(module, 'organisation') |
| 29 | | }}} |
| 30 | | |
| 31 | | Can test authentication/REST using wget/curl: |
| 32 | | * http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/msg/dde8335c4ec26b99 |
| 33 | | * Rest-UI client: http://code.google.com/p/rest-client/ |
| 34 | | Token-based authentication: |
| 35 | | * http://groups.google.co.uk/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/98258d69b6a6f927 |
| 36 | | |
| 37 | | Note that most web-services clients don't support cookies & hence are stateless (no sessions support): |
| 38 | | * http://groups.google.com/group/web2py/browse_thread/thread/6538ae13cb8f28d3 |
| 39 | | * use {{{session.forget()}}} inside controllers expecting such clients |
| 40 | | * XML-RPC client which does support Cookies: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/501148/ |

| 42 | | ---- |
| 43 | | We can access data from the database exported as JSON (for easy use within Javascript clients) by simply calling the [https://trac.sahana3.org/wiki/BluePrintREST RESTlike controller] with the var {{{?format=json}}}: |
| 44 | | {{{ |
| 45 | | /sahana/module/resource?format=json # Lists all records of this resource |
| 46 | | /sahana/module/resource/id?format=json # Display record with record.id==id |
| 47 | | /sahana/module/resource/create?format=json # ToDo |
| 48 | | /sahana/module/resource/update/id?format=json # ToDo |
| 49 | | }}} |
