Hello there,
I'm trying to use the REST API to call services and I can do it in some ways, but not those I want/need
Using POSTMAN on Chrome :
POST /Thingworx/Things/Mail/Services/sendPassword HTTP/1.1

},
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify(jsonReq),
//data: jsonReq,
//processData: false,
headers: hders
};
// submit the form
$(this).ajaxSubmit(options);
alert('foo');
// return false to prevent normal browser submit and page navigation
return false;
});
it basically works except the data aint sent the way I want since the service don't get them
I left nothing except for the button in the html form
Thanks
If you haven't found your answer to this yet, I would recommend you go to support.ptc.com to log a case.
For future viewers : I think it's just that jQuery changes the data one way or another
I finally did it using Java scriplet in a JSP page
