 Hi ,
I have tried to explore the OSLC API in java by following the OSLC Workshop 2012-11-26-OSLC-workshop.pdf
Now I want to create a Work Item using my java code to RTC 4.0 or RQM 4.0 but i didn't found the much documentation and example in the same.
I found some links related to this in Jazz.net but those are outdated.
Can anyone guide/help me regarding this issue?

 Hi Rahul, Did you solve the issue? I'm having a similar issue consuming the REST API from .NET/C# WebClient. I'm authenticated and able to retrieve work item information, but when creating, I'm receiving an 403 without any more explanation :-( Regards, Eric

To create Work Item, you'd have to either use CreationDialog  (provides delegated UI from RTC to create WI)  or CreationFactory (where you'd do a POST to the CreationFactory URI with whatever content needs to go into your WI) service. 
I've not tried the workshop myself, so I don't know if there's any sample in there. To understand how to use CreationDialog or CreationFactory, you can refer to the following article:

Hope that helps.

Your HTTP client is not authenticated with the RTC server.  Try logging into RTC from FireFox and using Poster and/or HttpRequester to make the HTTP request.

Hi Rahul,

it's a good point you've already experienced the OSLC workshop.
As you've figured out already, it misses an RQM-related section. For the moment (but there are plans to add such subpart to it). In the meanwhile, you've a starting point (code for auth, etc. )

In addition to the RQM wikis (providing extensive information and already pointed out to you by Paul), you could check sample-based "cheat sheets" / "How Tos" provided in this blog:

Stéphane

Hi Stéphane, The OSLC Workshop really helps me to understand the OSLC REST API. It would be good to add some samples of the creation factory for RTC and also for RQM in future. Thanks for the nice workshop material.

 Rahul,

See if this article offers any help: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-896. It looks like the "Expires" value for your cookie is not in a valid format (for whatever reason) and this article provides some steps in the comments to workaround.

Hi Eric,
It works fine after adding the header [X-Jazz-CSRF-Prevent] value as current JSESSIONID for me.
reference: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/98072/x-jazz-csrf-prevent-header-is-required-to-create-a-work-item-via-oslc-on-version-4001
i.e  postRequest.addHeader("X-Jazz-CSRF-Prevent"," AAAACF37530880CEE8034FD5A890453F")
You can also try to make a POST request via REST Client add-on in Firefox.

Hi Rahul, i am trying to create a category in RQM using RESTAPI (Java). i get this error below, Jan 20, 2017 4:28:13 PM org.apache.http.client.protocol.ResponseProcessCookies processCookies WARNING: Invalid cookie header: "Set-Cookie: WASReqURL=""; Expires=Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT; Path=/; Secure; HttpOnly". Invalid 'expires' attribute: Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT is it because of session id issue ? if so how can i overcome with this problem? i used IRawRestClientConnection to perform doPost operation.

In RDNG(6.0.1 M2 in my cases) when you try to create new requirement no matter how REST client(like POSTMAN) or using Eclipse Lyo if you do not specify tititle of the requirement as well as the instanceShape the result is 403 Forbiden. So you can omit the nav:parent, but title and instanceShape are mandatory.
So my request (working ) is :
