Building the sample
The sample data service named JSONSample should be deployed using the instructions in Samples Setup.
...
The sample service can be run using any client that can do REST calls. For example, use tools such as cURL or Advanced REST Client Chrome browser extension. The HTTP header "Accept" should be set to "application/json" and also, if a JSON payload is sent to the server, the HTTP header "Content-Type" should be set to "application/json".
...
The HTTP request requests sent for each of the resources using CURL cURL would be as follows:
"offices" (method=GET)
Code Block curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:9763/services/samples/JSONSample/offices
"boston_customers" (method=GET)
Code Block curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:9763/services/samples/JSONSample/boston_customers
"employee/{employeeNumber}" (method=GET)
Code Block curl -X GET -H "Accept: application/json" http://localhost:9763/services/samples/JSONSample/employee/1002
"employee" (method=POST) : A sample payload saved as the employee-payload.json file, that can be used when sending the data is given below.
Code Block { "_postemployee": { "employeeNumber" : "14001", "lastName": "Smith", "firstName": "Will", "email": "will@google.com", "salary": "15500.0" } }
