HTTP/REST access to webconsole configurations

Hi all,

From the documentation at I think that the webconsole supports POST
requests to create/modify configurations, but the documentation is a little
cryptic. Does anyone have any examples of how this can be used, e.g. from
curl?

Thanks,

David

Hi

I think it is rather straight-forward, yet I would not call this documentation cryptic, but incomplete ;-)

E.g. to Create a config this.is<http://this.is>.the.pid:

  $ curl -Fcreate=1 -Fprop.value=abc http://localhost:8080/system/console/configuration/this.is.the.pid

Regards
Felix

Thanks Felix and Carsten! I will update the documentation with some
examples soon.

The easiest way to find this out is to use the web console and look at
the post request it sends :)

Afaik, the url should have the PID as a suffix. If you send add
create=true, the configuration will be created. Afaik, you can't set
properties, just create.
For modificiation send apply=true then propertyList with a comma
separate list of properties you want to apply and then for each property
the parameter with the value. For example if you want to change/set a
and b then it is:
?apply=true&propertyList=a,b&a=5&b=10

It's ugly and has some historic reasons; would be great if a spec for a
REST api for configurations existed....
