For more information, see: Specifying Query Parameters in REST APIs

Examples

Subscribe from repository:

https://{domain}/networking/rest/package/operation/subscribe?packageId=123123123

Sample Package Subscribe Client

The PackageSubscribeClient demo program extends the REST API:BaseClient class to subscribe to a package file (a zip file downloaded from the platform). With minor modifications, it can be used to subscribe to a package hosted on the platform.

package demo.rest;

import java.io.File;

import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

import org.apache.wink.client.ClientResponse; import org.apache.wink.client.ClientWebException; import org.apache.wink.client.Resource; import org.apache.wink.common.internal.utils.MediaTypeUtils;

/**

* "Subscribe" to (install or update) a package contained in a zip file. 
* This program extends demo.rest.BaseClient.java 
* which in turn makes use of demo.rest.BaseUtil.java to handle
* logging in, logging out, and message formatting.
*/

public class PackageSubscribeClient extends BaseClient {

   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
       String packageUrl = baseUrl + "/package/operation/subscribe"
              + "?fileName=orders.zip";         // Subscribe from a file
       File f = new File("c:\\orders.zip");

       //Other options:
       //     + "?packageId=123123123";       // Subscribe from platform
       //     + "?packageId=123123123&version=1.2";  //  Specify version

       // Instantiate BaseClient.client and get sessionId
       PackageSubscribeClient subscribeClient = new PackageSubscribeClient();
       cookieString = subscribeClient.login(); 
       try
       {
          Resource resource = getResource(packageUrl);
          resource.header("Cookie", cookieString);

          ClientResponse response =
               resource.contentType(MediaTypeUtils.ZIP).accept(
                   MediaType.APPLICATION_XML).post(ClientResponse.class, f);
           String responseXml = response.getEntity(String.class);
           echoResponse(responseXml);
       }
       catch (ClientWebException webException)
       {
           echoResponse(webException);
       }
       catch (Exception e)
       {
          System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          e.printStackTrace();
       }
       finally
       {
           client.logout();
       }
   }

Download a Package

Download a package as a zip file.

Users that have the Manage Packages permission can use this resource.

Method

POST

URI

https://{domain}/networking/rest/package/operation/download/{package_id}?{query_parameters}

where:

package_id - Is the package record ID - the value at the top of the Package page.

Query Parameters

lastPublishedVersion

If TRUE, the package downloaded will be the last published version. (Default) If the package has never been published, it will be published first, so that it can be downloaded.
If FALSE, the package will be re-assembled/re-created, and this version will include all changes made to the components, from the last package publish date. (If any components of the package have been checked out, the request returns an Error.)

For more information, see: Specifying Query Parameters in REST APIs

Response

The response is of type multipart/mixed.

On success it will contain two parts which look something like this

103832778631715

    content-type: application/xml

    <platform>
       <message>
           0
           <description>Success</description>
       </message>
   </platform>

103832778631715

content-type: application/octet-stream

Encoded file part

103832778631715--

</syntaxhighlight>

On failure it will contain just a single part which looks something like this

103832778631715

    content-type: application/xml

    <platform>
       <message>
           0

Sample Package Download Client Program

The PackageDownloadClient demo program extends the REST API:BaseClient class to download a package from the platform to your local system.

package demo.rest;

import java.io.File; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.util.regex.Matcher; import java.util.regex.Pattern;

import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType; import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap;

/**

* Download a package from the platform to the local system.
* This program extends demo.rest.BaseClient.java 
* which in turn makes use of demo.rest.BaseUtil.java to handle
* logging in, logging out, and message formatting.
*/

   public static void main(String[] args)

       // Get it from the platform UI while viewing a package.
       String packageId = "761fb822e95d48c498d4c4f97dd1470b";
       String lastPublishedVersion="true";
       String downloadPackageUrl = baseUrl + "/package/operation/download/"
                 + packageId+"?lastPublishedVersion="+lastPublishedVersion;

       // Instantiate BaseClient.client and get sessionId
       PackageDownloadClient client = new PackageDownloadClient();
       cookieString = client.login(); 
      try
       {
           Resource resource = getResource(downloadPackageUrl);
           resource.header("Cookie", cookieString);

           ClientResponse response =
               resource.accept(MediaTypeUtils.MULTIPART_MIXED).post(
                   ClientResponse.class, "");

           InMultiPart iMultiPart = 
               response.getEntity(InMultiPart.class);
