- Product: Voyager
- Product Version: 8.1.2
Problem Symptoms:
* RESTful Patron API returns 3 additional API calls in response; "Records" call returns 404 error.
http://127.0.0.1:7014/vxws/patron/<patron_id>/records?patron_homedb=1@<db_key>"/><institution id="LOCAL"><instName>Columbia University Libraries</instName></institution></patron></response>
response:
HTTP Status 404 -
type Status report
message
description The requested resource () is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.14
Cause:
This behavior is caused by Known Issue 16384-20577.
Resolution:
Fixed in Voyager 8.2.2.
Additional Information
Replication steps:
1. Make a call to vxws for patron information:
http://<ip>:<port>/vxws/patron/<patron_id>?patron_homedb=1@<db_key>
2. vxws will return XML with 3 additional API calls:
<response>
<reply-text>ok</reply-text>
<reply-code>0</reply-code>
<patron>
<info type="Circulation Actions" href= "http:// <ip>:<port>/vxws/patron/<patron_id>/circulationActions?patron_homedb=1@<db_key>" />
<info type="Patron Information" href= "http:// <ip>:<port>/vxws/patron/<patron_id>/patronInformation?patron_homedb=1@<db_key>" />
<info type="Records" href= "http:// <ip>:<port>/vxws/patron/<patron_id>/records?patron_homedb=1@<db_key>" />
<institution id="LOCAL">
<instName>Voyager Library Training Database</instName>
</institution>
</patron>
</response>
3. The first two API calls ? Circulation Actions & Patron Information ? correspond to documented Voyager RESTful APIs and return additional patron information.
4. The third API call ? Records ? is not documented, and returns error:
HTTP Status 404 -
type Status report
message
description The requested resource () is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.14
Workaround: None needed for Ex Libris applications that use these APIs; if using for own developments, do not use this API call.
