Using RestServices to Publish a POST Service.

This was originally a question as I was getting an error.

After having downloaded the RestServices module, go to project settings -> runtime and change After startup microflow to a new microflow.

Add StartPublishServices to the microflow.

Add the service overview to your administration and compile.

Create two modules. One normal one and one for REST.

Create a domain model for both .

--

Create a OnUpdate POST Service Microflow.

Run Mendix, add a new Published Service and enter the name of your microflow to run for your POST service.

Use postman to test the publishing POST Service.

[P.S.]

If you happen to stumble upon this type of error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: Reference 'MyRestModule.Image' only accepts ids of type 'MyRestModule.Request_Image' (Id '[MendixIdentifier:: id=12947848928690788 objectType=MyRestModule.Request_Transaction entityID=46]' is not allowed).

Then do the following:

1. Turn the association into an */* one.
2. Delete the assocation.
3. Recreate the 1/1 association with the arrow in opposite direction.
