Sample REST Applications
This section provides examples that illustrate how multiple clients, both REST and native, can access the same Geode region data.
Note: You must set PDX read-serialized to true when starting the cache server to achieve interoperability between different clients. See Setup and Configuration for instructions on starting up REST-enabled cache servers.
The following examples demonstrate the following:
A Java REST client creates a Person object on key 1. This client references the following supporting examples (also provided):
- Geode cache client
- REST client utility
- Date Time utility
- Person class
- Gender class
A Ruby REST client also gets data for key 1 and updates it.
A Python REST Client demonstrates the creation and modification of objects. Note: An additional Python REST client reference application is available here: https://github.com/gemfire/py-gemfire-rest.
The following Java examples assume a project directory structure similar to the following:
