Oracle ORDS REST modules - optional parameters in handler - oracle

To create a handler, it seems that I would need to create a template with a URI template to create bindings.
However, the bindings seem to me only possible as a path structure (e.g. /:id/:records/:department) instead of being searchParams (?id=1&department=IT)
How could I allow optional parameters in the URL for handlers?

You can access search params variables just as you would access it in the URL template. There's no need to strictly define all possible input parameters in the URL template.
You can use binds or parameters, or even a mix.
I have full code examples here.
Run the sql's...
Confirm your APIs have been created, and call the API...
In this case a
GET http://localhost:8080/ords/hr/parameters/headers-classic?id=4

Where to put ajax request in Ember tutorial app?

I want to add "Weather: 24C" to the rental-listing component of the super-rentals tutorial app.
Where would be the "best-practices" place to put this ajax request?
Ember.$.getJSON(`http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=${location}&APPID=${apiKey}`)
.then(function(json) {
return JSON.parse(json).main.temp;
});
Do I need to add a component, add a model, add a service, add a second adapter, modify the existing adapter? Something else? All of these? Is the problem that the tutorial uses Mirage? I ask this because when I think I'm getting close, I get an error like this:
Mirage: Your Ember app tried to GET
'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=london&APPID=5432',
but there was no route defined to handle this request.
Define a route that matches this path in your
mirage/config.js file. Did you forget to add your namespace?
You need to configure mirage to allow you making calls to outside in case mirage is active; what I mean is using this.passthrough function within mirage/config.js, that is explained in api documentation quite well.
Regarding your question about where to make the remote call is; it depends:
If you need the data from the server to arrive in case a route is about to open; you should prefer putting it within model hook of the corresponding route.
If you intend to develop a component that is to be reused from within different routes or even from within different applications with the same remote call over and over again; you can consider putting the ajax remote call to a component. Even if that is not a very common case usually; it might be the case that a component itself should be wrapped up to fetch the data and display it by itself for reusing in different places; there is nothing that prevents you to do so. However by usually applying data-down action-up principle; generally the remote calls fall into routes or controllers.
Whether using an ember-data model is another thing to consider. If you intend to use ember-data; you should not directly use Ember.$.ajax but rather be using store provided by ember-data and perhaps providing your custom adapter/serializer to convert data to the format ember-data accepts in case the server do not match to the formats that ember-data accepts. In summary; you do not need to use models if you use pure ajax as you do in this question.

Make json the default formatter in asp.net web api 2

In my web api I allow the user to specify how they want their data via an extension: ie. host/api/location/getmyhouse.json or getmyhouse.xml.
However I also have actions that aren't get and they return if the action was successful or not. For that it doesn't really make sense to specify the return type so I was trying to have it just default to json. However by default it seems xml is used.
Is there a way to default the formatter to json vs xml without removing xml as a formatter AND without having the client specify it as I want this to be done via simple url in the browser. It's an internal thing so that's what we would like.

REST Web API URL to update a resource property

To update the resource i have exposed following reset web api url -
http://server.com/api/v1/{companyid}/resources/{resourceid}
and request body contains the resource to be updated.
I have also exposed a seperate API to update a property of same resource. From business rule perspective this is special property and cannot be updated/retrieved along with normal resource api.
So using following url to expose separate api as below -
http://server.com/api/v1/{companyid}/resources/{resourceid}/property?propertyKey=propertyValue
this does not sound good. Is there better approach?
Answer from the comments for others
PUT api/v1/{companyid}/resources/{resourceid}/{property} with the Body containing the value of the property is one way.
PUT api/v1/{companyid}/resources/{resourceid}/{property}/{propertyvalue} is another way if you want the value entirely in the URL.
Of course, http://server.com/api/v1/{companyid}/resources/{resourceid}/property?propertyKey=propertyValue is also probably fine.
As #David-Brabant mentioned don't version your API's in the URL

Access request parameters from a JSP View in Spring Web MVC without putting them in a model

I'd like to be able to access some HTTP GET parameters directly in a JSP, without having to pass them through a Controller+Model, but at the same time still use the dispatcher/controller/model/view mechanism for other parameters and logic.
This is because I have many HTTP GET parameters that are generated by Javascript and used also only in Javascript. My Controllers don't need them at all.
I tried ${arg}, ${request.arg}, ${requestScope.arg}, nothing seems to work.
If I bypass the dispatcher, ${requestScope.arg} works.
But is there a way to make it work with the dispatcher?
Thanks!
If that's request parameters that you want to access (and not request attributes like the title says), then the syntax is ${param.parameterName}.
If it's request attributes, then it's ${requestScope.attributeName}.
See http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/syntax/2.0/syntaxref207.html#1010522 for a quick reference.

Getting request attributes in freemarker

How do I check a value from the request attribute in freemarker?
I tried <#if *${RequestParameters['servicesettings']} ??> but getting errors ->
Encountered "*" at line
Can anyone help?
It depends on the Web application framework, because FreeMarker itself doesn't expose the request parameters. (Well, except if the framework uses freemareker.ext.servlet.FreemarkerServlet which is kind of an extension to FreeMarker.) Also, usually you shouldn't access request parameters directly from an MVC template, or anything that is HTTP/Servlet specific.
As of the error message, what you have written has a few syntax errors... probably you meant <#if RequestParameters.servicesettings??> (it's not JSP - don't use ${...}-s inside FreeMarker tags). This will require that you have RequestParameters in the data-model, that I can't know for sure...
We should write like this:
${Request.requestattribute}
You can use
${requestParameters.servicesettings}.
According to the JavaDoc of the FreemarkerServlet:
It makes all request, request parameters, session, and servlet context attributes available to templates through Request, RequestParameters, Session, and Application variables.
The scope variables are also available via automatic scope discovery. That is, writing Application.attrName, Session.attrName, Request.attrName is not mandatory; it's enough to write attrName, and if no such variable was created in the template, it will search the variable in Request, and then in Session, and finally in Application.
You can simply write:
${attrName}
to get the value of a request attribute (that you might have set in a servlet request filter using request.setAttribute('attrName', 'value')
Worked for me with Freemarker 2.3.27-incubating
