This section explains how to work with components using the Java client library for the Oracle ATG Web Commerce platform REST Web Services.

Getting Component Data

The getComponent() method of the RestComponentHelper class returns a data stream that contains a representation of a component.

The following code sample returns the Configuration component:

RestResult result = RestComponentHelper.getComponent("/atg/dynamo/Configuration",
null, mSession)

Getting and Setting Property Values

The getPropertyValue() method of the RestComponentHelper class returns a data stream that contains the value of the specified property.

The following code sample gets the value of the property httpPort from the Configuration component.

RestResult result = RestComponentHelper.getPropertyValue("/atg/dynamo/Configuration", "httpPort",
params, session)

Use the RestComponentHelper.setPropertyValue() method to set property values on Nucleus components. The following code sample sets the value of the Configuration component property httpPort to 8580.

RestResult result = RestComponentHelper.setPropertyValue("/atg/dynamo/Configuration", "httpPort",
"8580", params, session)
