SMP 3.0 SP 07 - Issue while post operation in iOS

[Former Member]

Hi ,

We are on SMP 3.0 sp07 and are building an application that consumes oData services. We are able to retrieve data , but facing issues while create / post operation.

Below is the code for post operation :-

        [RequestBuilder setRequestType:HTTPRequestType];

        [RequestBuilder enableXCSRF:YES];

        id<Requesting> postRequest = [RequestBuilder requestWithURL:[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:self.endpointURL]];

        [postRequest setRequestMethod:@"POST"];

        [postRequest addRequestHeader:@"aaaaa" value:@"xxxx"]; // Header value is passed here

        [postRequest setPostBody:postData]; //  post data is json converted from a nsdictionary

        [postRequest setDelegate:self];

        [postRequest startAsynchronous];

Operation works fine and is tested on rest client where we need to pass one request header and other data in payload.

I have passed the necessary headers and payload through my code as well. But the operation fails saying "Error 405 - Method not allowed"

What am i missing ?

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Amit,

I guess self.endpointURL in your code refers to the service document URL. If you are posting to a particular collection, the URL for posting should be the URL of that particular collection.

eg:

   id<Requesting> odp_postRequest = [RequestBuilder requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@SalesOrders", endPoint_URL];]]

Hi Dhani,

The endpoint URL is referring to the desired collection. I checked that in debug mode and is constructed properly till the collection.

Hi Amit,

Can you plese share the screenshots of the Restclient request and response?

Are you passing X-CSRF Token while posting?

In RestClient, are you passing data in XML format or json format?

Hi Dhani,

I am not passing X-CSRF token from rest client while posting. Data is passed in json format.

Thanks,

Can you please provide a screenshot how you are trying with POST operation in REST client?

X-CSRF-TOKEN is required for POST, PUT, delete operations.

• POST (Creating a record)

Below is the screenshot from rest client. X-CSRF token is generated by another middle tier team who build web services connecting to backend.

Another update , i made some changes to the front end code and i am getting "Error code 415 - unsupported media type" in the logs.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks,

Hi Amit,

Add the Content-Type header value  also in the request. I guess that  will remove this unsupported media type error.
