Introducing Spring Framework

Chapter 12 ■ Exposing a REST API
HTTP-PUT
Next, let’s use the HTTP-PUT method to update a record. Again, you can use the CURL or the RESTClient add-on.
Figure 12-4 shows the use of the RESTClient. Remember that for this you need to pass the ID and the JSON document.
ID: 1acbb68a-a859-49c9-ac88-d9e9322bac55
{
"name": "Book Template 2.pdf",
"location": "/docs/isfbook/Documents/Random/Book Template 2.pdf",
"description": "A Book Template version 2"
}
Figure 12-4. RESTClient - http://localhost:8080/mydocuments/documents/1acbb68a-a859-49c9-ac88-d9e9322bac55
After you press the Send button, you can test if it works by doing the same as Figure 12-2 and passing the ID
1acbb68a-a859-49c9-ac88-d9e9322bac55.
