Hippo RESTful Web services demo project

This project is a demo project for the Hippo RESTful Web services addon. To run this project you will first need to install the web services add-on into your local maven repository.

Running locally

This project uses the Maven Cargo plugin to run the CMS and site locally in Tomcat. From the project root folder, execute:

  $ mvn clean install
  $ mvn -P cargo.run

Access the CMS at http://localhost:8080/cms, and the site at http://localhost:8080/site Logs are located in target/tomcat7x/logs

Testing the API

The web services addon APIs are documented with Swagger.

Visiting http://localhost:8080/cms/swagger/ after startup shows you the Swagger UI, where you see and test the available service end-points and their documentation. Before you can do so you will need to login with the default username and password .e.g (admin/admin).

Examples of working with the API

$ curl --user admin:admin http://localhost:8080/cms/rest/api/

Which returns:

{
  "clusterid":"",
  "vendor":{
    "name":"Hippo Repository","version":"2.26.09"
    }
}

Performing a search for document within the cms

$ curl --user admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -XPOST http://localhost:8080/cms/rest/api/_query/ -d '
{
  "statement":"/jcr:root/content/documents//element(*,hippo:document)",
  "language":"xpath",
  "limit":5
}'
