Send Requests

Use the following guidelines when sending requests using the Oracle WebLogic Server REST APIs.

URL Structure

Here's the URL structure for the requests:

http://<host>:<port>/management/weblogic/<version>/<resource-path>

Where:

• <host>:<port> are the host and port where WebLogic Server is running. For example, localhost:7001.

• management is the context root for all resources.

• <version> is the WebLogic REST object version. latest is used to indicate that the object is the latest version.

• <resource-path> is the relative path that identifies the resource with which to interact. Optionally, append the action to perform on that resource. For example, use the following REST endpoint to start a server:

  management/weblogic/<version>/domainRuntime/serverRuntimes/<serverName>/start

Supported Methods

Perform basic CRUD operations (create, read, update, and delete) on a resource by using standard HTTP method requests, as summarized in the following table.

HTTP Method	Description
GET	Retrieve information about WebLogic Server resources.
POST	Create, update, or modify WebLogic Server resources.
OPTIONS	Retrieve information about the options and requirements for WebLogic Server resources.
DELETE	Delete WebLogic Server resources.

Media Types

WebLogic Server REST APIs use media type application/json for all request and response bodies.

Supported Headers

The following table describes the standard headers that clients should use to send WebLogic Server REST requests.

Header	Description
Accept:application/json	Indicates that the client wants the response to contain JSON. This header is used when invoking the GET, POST, and DELETE methods.
Content-Type:application/json	Indicates that the client is sending in a request containing JSON. This header is required for the POST method. Other supported content types (for example, when uploading deployments) and when they are supported are specified in the examples.
X-Requested-By:MyClient	Used to protect against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks via REST. This header is mandatory for the POST and DELETE methods and ignored for the OPTIONS and GET methods.
