REST access to GUI demo cache
eboily Sep 9, 2010 12:53 PMHi
I am trying to access the GUI demo cache from a REST interface.
I did deploy the GUI demo on two servers with the following configuration:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<infinispan
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="urn:infinispan:config:4.0 http://www.infinispan.org/schemas/infinispan-config-4.0.xsd"
xmlns="urn:infinispan:config:4.0">
<global>
<transport clusterName="demoCluster"/>
</global>
<default>
<clustering mode="replication">
<l1 enabled="true" lifespan="60000"/>
<hash numOwners="2" rehashRpcTimeout="120000"/>
<sync/>
<stateRetrieval fetchInMemoryState="true" />
</clustering>
</default>
</infinispan>
So far so good, the two servers share the cached data and everything works as expected.
I then installed tomcat and deployed infinispan-server-rest.war in it. Of course I copied the ${infinispan}/gui-demo-cache-config.xml as ${tomcat}/webapps/infinispan-server-rest/WEB-INF/classes/infinispan.xml and I have the following lines in my ${tomcat}/webapps/infinispan-server-rest/web.xml:
<init-param>
<param-name>infinispan.configuration</param-name>
<param-value>infinispan.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
When I access localhost:8080/infinispan-server-rest/, I do get the "Welcome to the Infinispan RESTful Server".
Using the GUI, I put the (key,value)=(1,100) in the cache.
Now, I expect that when I use my browser and go to localhost:8080/infinispan-server-rest/rest/___defaultCache/1, I would get
100
as the answer. But I get
HTTP Status 404 - The requested resource () is not available.
I am assuming that the compiled GUI demo uses the DefaultCacheManager and the cache name is ___defaultCache, and this is the one accessed by the REST server. However, when I use the python script sample_python_REST_client.py to play with the REST server, I got the right results (the script stores a key-value pair and gets it back). It seems that the REST server is not connected with the GUI demo cache but its own cache.
Any idea what I did get wrong? Or am I totally in the far left field?
Thanks for your help!
