Hello,

I am running into a challenge accessing the REST interface of the document store. I coded something quick and dirty in VBA for excel to use the REST interface of the YAWL engine to be able to get a list of specifications and launch cases. This works very well.

However the next step is to upload a document to the documentstore retrieve the ID and use that as input parameter for launching a case. I imagine the order would be:
1. upload file to documentstore
2. retrieve response
3. decode and get necesary properties.
4. launch case with input parameters in the engine.

However I cannot get a response from the REST interface of the document store.
When pointing a browser to http://localhost:8080/yawl/ib I get a response in XML format from the engine. This seems to works for every service actually except the documentstore service. Looking at the code it seems that I should at least receive an error response which would tell me that I at least got the URL right.

I use: http://localhost:8080/documentStore
Also from within the environment itself the uploading of documents seems to work fine.

So my questions:
Is there something tricky with the documentStore service which prevents me from accessing its REST interface? (I allready noticed that the request parameters have to be send in the body of the request, however gathering from the code, even with an empty body I expect a response.)

Do I have the correct URL?

Is what I try to achieve even possible?

Best regards,

For full disclosure, I also posted this question on the YAWLFoundation board.
