Rest Service Name Mapping

RentProperty

Hi I need some help with setting up a rest service with custom name mapping...

Basically we want to expose a service to post callbacks to, from an email provider. One of the parameters they use is 'smtp-id', but since you cant use a dash in AwareIM attribute names, I assume you need to use the name mapping functionality when setting up the restful service.

However even after setting up the Attribute Name as smtpId and External Name as smtp-id under name mapping in the service setup, I still get:

"500 - Nonexistent attribute: smtp-id"

Calling the service with the parameter name as smtpId instead of smtp-id does work.

Any suggestions or tips with regards to setting this up would really be appreciated 🙂

Thank you

Perhaps some more detail will help 🙂

I have an EmailEvent Object with 2 attributes (Received and Type).

A service is exposed for the 3rd party (in this case SendGrid) to post email events to.

Suppose they send the Type attribute as Category.

Thus I have set up the name mapping in the service to map Type to Category.

The service works fine when calling it as http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/REST/Main/SendEmailEvent?Type=open
but when using the mapping http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/REST/Main/SendEmailEvent?Category=open I get the following error:

HTTP Status 500 - Nonexistent attribute: Category
type Exception report

note The full stack trace of the root cause is available in the Apache Tomcat/8.0.14 logs.

Is there something else that needs to be set up for the name mapping to work? Do I have to use custom url mapping or should the attribute name mapping work with Default URL mapping selected?

Note: I have simplified everything just to see if I can get the name mapping to work.
