Not sure about the Java API, but the Python API actually supports both forms. So it must be attempting to add the path element if not present.

a) >>> from ovirtsdk.api import API >>> api = API(url='https://localhost/api', username='admin@internal', password='sec', ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem') >>> ver = api.get_product_info().get_version() >>> print '%s.%s.%s' % (ver.get_major(), ver.get_minor(), ver.get_revision()) 3.3.0 b) >>> from ovirtsdk.api import API >>> api = API(url='https://localhost/', username='admin@internal', password='sec', ca_file='/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem') >>> ver = api.get_product_info().get_version() >>> print '%s.%s.%s' % (ver.get_major(), ver.get_minor(), ver.get_revision()) 3.3.0 > Java: api = new API("https://whatever/ovirt-engine/api", ...) > >> >> On 4/29/14, 11:05 AM, Vojtech Szocs wrote: >>> Hi guys, >>> >>> just a quick note on UI plugin vs. REST API integration, >>> there are currently two ways to work with REST API: >>> >>> * (standard) /ovirt-engine/api >>> * (legacy) /api >>> >>> Please don't use the legacy URL, since "sessionId" that >>> is acquired via RestApiSessionAcquired event handler [1] >>> works only for the standard URL. >>> >>> (Also, don't forget to include "Prefer:persistent-auth" >>> header when making calls that shouldn't close the session.) >>> >>> [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins#REST_API_integration >>> >>> Regards, >>> Vojtech >>> _______________________________________________ >>> Devel mailing list >>> Devel(a)ovirt.org >>> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel >>> >> _______________________________________________ >> Devel mailing list >> Devel(a)ovirt.org >> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel >> > > _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
