PoC implementation in Branch https://github.com/SmartGridready/SGrJava/tree/rest-api-post-formdata

Thanks for the Info, I will have a look.

I just have tested my implementation with the Shelly Gen1 local API. I can set a relay to true/false using GET requests.

data point type = Relais, but with boolean type
mapping defined --> true = on, false = off

so far that seems to work.

the POST requests using form data do not work correctly yet, I will conduct more testing today.

I was able to fix the POST request content type handling in my latest commit.

I will now look into the "URIBuilder". that looks promising regarding query and form parameters.

I have created a PoC implementation in https://github.com/SmartGridready/SGrJava/tree/rest-api-query-params

It uses my suggested specification changes in https://github.com/SmartGridready/SGrSpecifications/tree/rest-query-params and should solve URL encoding, query and form parameters at once.

@ergo-furrer @ArndGerns do you like this approach?

ergo-furrer commented 3 months ago

Hi Matthias, I think it's the right approach to define a query and form parameters as a key-value list in the XML-Schema.

I had a brief look at SGrJava.ApacheRestServiceClient. I think the method getFormParameters() and its dependents are obsolete now and we can remove it.

Thanks for the feedback. I will add a commit that removes the old behaviour.
