Question

SAXParseException while making a POST call in thingworx

Hi,

I am new to Thingworx. I am trying to make a post rest call from thingworx. Here is the script that I have written in the service of a thing.

var result = null;

var params = {
//proxyScheme: undefined /* STRING */,
//headers: undefined /* JSON */,
//ignoreSSLErrors: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
//useNTLM: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
//workstation: undefined /* STRING */,
//useProxy: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
//withCookies: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
//proxyHost: undefined /* STRING */,
url: Things["Windchilldemo1"].getRestUrl() + "/bac/import" /* STRING */,
content: "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?><BACSpec xmlns=\"http://www.ptc.com/bac\"><Profile><name>newProfile</name></Profile></BACSpec>",
//timeout: 60 /* NUMBER */,
//proxyPort: undefined /* INTEGER */,
//password: undefined /* STRING */,
//domain: undefined /* STRING */,
//username: undefined /* STRING */
};


result = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostXML(params);

At server side I have jaxb implementation for the XML structure. But it does not hit the url.

I am getting the following error.

Wrapped org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 10; DOCTYPE is disallowed when the feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl" set to true. Cause: DOCTYPE is disallowed when the feature "http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl" set to true.

Is the value for "content" converted to JAVA object on server side?

Please guide me to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

You are able to make this call using something like Postman correct?

You may want to try as PostText first.

Thanks Pai for the reply.

There were minor issues on server side. I fixed those issues.

For the sake of simplicity I have taken a more simplified object structure.
message body in postman is
{
   "spec": "my<></>Spec",
   "deliveryUrl": "http://vagrant.ptcnet.ptc.com:2280/Windchill/servlet/rest/bac/import"
}

The result is as follows:
{
  "importReportContent": "my<></>Spec : http://vagrant.ptcnet.ptc.com:2280/Windchill/servlet/rest/bac/import"
}


In thingworx, The snippet in the service is like this.

var result = null;
var params = {
proxyScheme: undefined /* STRING */,
headers: undefined /* JSON */,
ignoreSSLErrors: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
useNTLM: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
workstation: undefined /* STRING */,
useProxy: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
withCookies: undefined /* BOOLEAN */,
proxyHost: undefined /* STRING */,
url: "http://vagrant.ptcnet.ptc.com:2280/Windchill/servlet/rest/bac/import" /* STRING */,
    content: { "spec": "mySpec",  "deliveryUrl": "myURL" } /* JSON */,
timeout: 60 /* NUMBER */,
proxyPort: undefined /* INTEGER */,
password: undefined /* STRING */,
domain: undefined /* STRING */,
contentType: undefined /* STRING */,
username: undefined /* STRING */
};

// result: STRING
var jsonResult = Resources["ContentLoaderFunctions"].PostJSON(params);

result = jsonResult["importReportContent"];


This returns empty result without any error. I tried with providing a wrong url. then also I got empty result without any error. So it seems that the url is not being used. Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong or missed anything.

Behaviour is the same with PostText as well.

Thanks
