Hello,

Before we upgraded our server to RTC 4 I was able to run a REST GET to the users service and receive the answer in a JSON table.

 https: //<server>:<port>/jts/users/<userid>?_mediaType="application/x-oslc-cm-change-request%2Bjson

The server was upgraded to the version below and since then the response is returned in XML and I did not find any way around it.

Change and Configuration Management - Core Libraries 4.0.0.1 RTC-I20120911-1740 Jazz Foundation - Core Libraries 4.0.0.1 RJF-I20120906-1745 236526: Contributor itemId value corrupted in TeamContributorSelectionDialog 4.0.0.1 wi236526 v20121119_0155

Anybody noticed something similar and has as suggestion?

Should I change the mediaType , should I use a different method with the users service to obtain JSON data?

Thanks,

Alain

yes. i seem to have the same issue. My Rest API call Accept headers were JSON format, and it returns in rdf+xml. I can't seem to get around it either. Do you have any update?

Hello Alain,

I'm faced the same issue for resource allocation. I used URI
 https://clm.local:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/apt  that previously returned XML with hrefs that pointed to JSON message.

I have to use different URI now:

 https://clm.local:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/apt?fields=apt/workResourceDetails/(contributor/name|assignment|startDate|endDate)

It sounds like a regression was introduced in 4.0.0.1. You should enter a defect.

The URL for getting user information must be a query of oslc format:

$JAZZHOST/oslc/users.json?oslc_cm.query=rtc_cm:userId=%22$UID%22%20&oslc_cm.properties=*"

This worked for me. Hope this helps anyone who is experiencing the same issue.

Thanks,
Binoy

Hello ,

I am using the URL returned in an WorkItem, it is not practicle to have to change the request to get the user information.

I expect the URL to return JSON format.

I registered defect 261448 for this issue.

Thanks,

Alain
