Rest api: unable to unpublish node

[gkalabin]

I'm using ModeShape 2.8.2 and JBoss 7.1.1. ModeShape rest server deployed as usual web application. And I have a kind of a stupid question.

I can to publish a file - it uploads to the storage and everything is fine.

But when I try to unpublish - I have an exception.

According to the api I have to provide workspace, path and file as parameters. But how to combine path and file parameters?

For example, I want to unpublish node at /repo/file path. The following code not working:

File file = new File("file");
Status status = restClient.unpublish(workspace, "/repo", file);

log:

12:53:26,163 ERROR [org.modeshape.web.jcr.rest.client.json.JsonRestClient] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) response code=405 method=unpublish
12:53:26,166 ERROR [com.demo.app.Controller](http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) The file "C:\jboss-as-7.1.1.Final\bin\file" could not be unpublished in 
workspace "workspace1" at path "/repo".: java.lang.RuntimeException: The file "file" could not be unpublished in workspace "workspace1" at path "/repo".

But an url from

(new FileNode(workspace,"/repo",file)).getUrl()

is correct and get/delete requests works as expected.

Also I tried:

File file = new File("/repo/file");
Status status = restClient.unpublish(workspace, "/", file); // if set "" instead of "/" result the same

But an url from getUrl method is wrong.

Thank you for any help.

The "File" object is an instance of java.io.File, which means it should represent a file on the client's file system. Currently having the local file is required.

I tried to create file (and it have been created) and call unpublish of existent file, but result is the same.

Does the Status returned from the 'unpublish' method contain an exception?

[gkalabin]

Yes, it does. The exception is the same as mentioned in question:

12:53:26,163 ERROR [org.modeshape.web.jcr.rest.client.json.JsonRestClient] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-1) response code=405 method=unpublish

I'm not sure what's going on without more investigation. Can you log a bug in our JIRA system?

Note that the REST Client is merely a (very) simple client-side library for working with the RESTful service, and the REST Client only exposes a subset of the RESTful service functionality. You might consider having your code directly use the RESTful API directly.

I just created Issue.

Thank you for clarification. That's good idea.

[rhauch]

Thanks for creating the issue. We'll look at it soon.

Are you sure HTTP DELETE is enabled on the web server ? (unpublish issues a http delete and the 405 code seems to indicate that http delete is not enabled)

[gkalabin]

I'm sure that it's enabled because I can delete a node using http clients (for example, Fiddler)
