OX HTTP API create folder

[cvallant]

Hello!

I will create a contact folder with the http api.

The JSONObejct, which i send to the server will look like this:

{"data":[{"folder_id":"57","title":"kontakte","module":"contacts","type":"1"}]}

But i get this error:

{"category":7,"error":"A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 0 of ","error_id":"766414115-12968","data":null,"code":"FLD-9999"}

I don't know, but I tried something and a I read also the http-api, but i can't find the error. I also tried without the data field and without the JSONArray, but it didn't work.

My be, someone can help me!

Best regards!

Hi,

a usual PUT content for creating a folder looks like this:

http://ox-server.tld/ajax/folders?action=new&folder_id=26&session=c67a692db1374bfeafc37e6011304d60

{"title":"mytitle","module":"contacts","permissions":[{"group":false,"bits":403710016,"entity":3}],"subscribed":1}

folder_id:26 is the id of the root folder where the new folder is going to be created.

Greetings

Hi,

i did't work!

My JSONObject look like this:

{"title":"kontakte","module":"contacts","permission":[{"group":"false","bits":"403710016","entity":"3"}],"subscribed":"1"}

And I use the Put command to upload to the server, but i get always this response:

{"category":7,"error":"A JSONObject text must begin with '{' at character 0 of ","error_id":"766414115-13566","data":null,"code":"FLD-9999"}

I don't know what i should do!

Update:
This code is responsible for the upload:

RequestEntity data = new StringRequestEntity(jsonObject.toString(), CONTENT_TYPE_JSCRIPT, CHARSET_JSCRIPT);

createMethod.setRequestEntity(data);
client.executeMethod(createMethod);
String tmp = createMethod.getResponseBodyAsString();
JSONObject jsonObjectResponse = JSONObject.fromObject( tmp );  
logger.info(jsonObjectResponse);

Could you provide the entire HTTP conversation, not just the body?

Hello,

sorry for the long delay! Now the responsible code:

Create the JSONObject:

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.put("title", subject.elementAt(0));
jsonObject.put("module", "contacts");

JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();
JSONObject jsonObject1 = new JSONObject();
jsonObject1.put("group", "false");
jsonObject1.put("bits", "403710016");
jsonObject1.put("bits", "403710016");
jsonObject1.put("entity", "3");
jsonArray.add(jsonObject1);

jsonObject.put("permission", jsonArray);
jsonObject.put("subscribed", "1");

logger.info(jsonObject);


http.createOXFolder(session, parentid, jsonObject);

And now the code, which sends the JSONObject to the server:

public Vector<JSONArray> createOXFolder(String session, String folder_id, JSONObject jsonObject) {

		PutMethod createMethod = new PutMethod("http://"+oxserver+"/ajax/folders");

		NameValuePair[] pairs = { 
				new	NameValuePair("action", "new"), 
				new NameValuePair("folder_id", folder_id),
				new NameValuePair("session", session)
		};

		createMethod.setQueryString(pairs);

		try {


				logger.info("jsonObject:##"+jsonObject.toString()+"##");

				RequestEntity data = new StringRequestEntity(jsonObject.toString(), CONTENT_TYPE_JSCRIPT, CHARSET_JSCRIPT);

				createMethod.setRequestEntity(data);

				client.executeMethod(createMethod);

				String tmp = createMethod.getResponseBodyAsString();

				JSONObject jsonObjectResponse = JSONObject.fromObject( tmp );  
				logger.info(jsonObjectResponse);

				/*
				if(jsonObjectResponse.containsKey("error")){	

					logger.info((jsonObjectResponse.get("error").toString()).replace("%s", jsonObjectResponse.get("error_params").toString())) ;		

				}
				 */
		}
		catch (Exception e) {
			logger.error(e);
		}

		return null;
	}

I don't know, what the problem is. I got this error:

{"category":7,"error":"Expected a ':' after a key at character 143 of {{\"title\":\"kontakte\",\"module\":\"contacts\",\"permission\":[{\"group\":\"false\",\"bits\":\"403710016\",\"entity\":\"3\"}],\"subscribed\":\"1\",\"capabilities\":\"3\"}}","error_id":"766414115-30077","data":null,"code":"FLD-9999"}

I asked for data, not code.

What bytes are sent between the server and the client? Use a sniffer like Wireshark or "tcpdump -s 0 -w dump.pcap port 80" to save a complete dump of HTTP traffic (don't use HTTPS, and use a temporary password).
