Question regarding AppData

[Okke Harsta <oh...@zilverline.com>]

We are implementing the persistent store of shindig Java and I have a
question regarding the AppDataService. I was under the impression that
AppData was tied to an user and a gadget/application, but from the
return value of the AppDataService getPersonData it would appear that
AppData is only tied the Person (and not to a specific gadget) as
there is no way to specify the appId and personId in the
DataCollection object (it is a Map<String, Map<String, String>> entry
where the key of the Map is personId and the key a map of key/values).
Am I missing something?

Another question is regarding the appId: it is retrieved from the
SocialRequestItem when delegating calls from the AppDataHandler to the
AppService, but the appId is null in the examples I have tried. Does
this require additional coding in the container.js to include the
appId in the JavaScript call (we use the osapi.appdata)

thanks,
Okke

The appId is part of the URI for app data requests

  /{userId}+/{groupId}/{appId}

The appId specified is passed to AppDataService calls.

For most usages the appId will always be '@app' which substitutes the appId
from the security token

This in turn is almost always the gadgetUrl.

I haven't tested osapi.appdata for a while.  Can you insure that you have
"appId":"@app" in your request?
