Having more than one Get in Restful webservice.

Dear Javaranch members,
I am new to java and Webservices.
I am working on a university project to connect test instruments and get request and response from it using webservice.

I have to request more than one service from the instrument, but when i use more than two @Get in the server, i get an error in browser saying "Cannot access WADL, please restart your restful webservice"

This is my code,

@GET
@Produces("text/html")
public String getHtml() {
String ins_name=null;

try {

String [] env=null;
//setting the environment variable.
String[]callAndArgs= {"python","instrument_name.py"};//python and file name

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(callAndArgs,env,
new java.io.File("C:\\Users\\Balkishore\\Documents\\NetBeansProjects\\DemoApp1\\build\\web"));//excuting python file

BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new

InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));//geting the vaue from python file

BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new

InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));// reading the error

ins_name = stdInput.readLine();//reading the output from the pyhton file

System.out.println(ins_name);

}
catch (IOException e) {//catching the exception

System.out.println("exception occured");

e.printStackTrace();

System.exit(-1);

}

return ins_name;//returning the instrument name
}

@GET
@Produces("text/html")
public String getHtml1() {
String check=null;
String c1="hjhj";
String [] env=null;
//setting the environment variable.
try{
String[]callAndArgs= {"python","check_connection.py",c1};//python and file name

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(callAndArgs,env,
new java.io.File("C:\\Users\\Balkishore\\Documents\\NetBeansProjects\\DemoApp1\\build\\web"));//excuting python file

BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new

InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));//geting the vaue from python file

BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new

InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));// reading the error

check= stdInput.readLine();//reading the output from the pyhton file

System.out.println();

}
catch (IOException e) {//catching the exception

System.out.println("exception occured");

e.printStackTrace();

System.exit(-1);

}

return check;

}

/**
* Web service operation

}

/**
* PUT method for updating or creating an instance of GenericResource
* @param content representation for the resource
* @return an HTTP response with content of the updated or created resource.
*/
@PUT
@Consumes("text/html")
public String putHtml(String interface_name) {

try {

String [] env=null;
String[]callAndArgs= {"python","connection.py",this.interface_name=interface_name};//python file with agruments

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(callAndArgs,env,
new java.io.File("C:\\Users\\Balkishore\\Documents\\NetBeansProjects\\DemoApp1\\build\\web"));//excuting the python file

BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new

InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));//getting the input

BufferedReader stdError = new BufferedReader(new

InputStreamReader(p.getErrorStream()));//getting the error

interface_name = stdInput.readLine();//reading the output

System.out.println(interface_name);

}

catch (IOException e) {//catching the exception

System.out.println("exception occured");

e.printStackTrace();

System.exit(-1);

}
return interface_name;
}
}

I have also attached the image of the error message.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers,
Kishore.

As a RESTful service, each resource should have a different URL, right?

How are you addressing (ie the URL used) these resources.

@williams

Thank you very much for replying.
Please excuse my stupidity as i am very much new to java and netbeans, i couldn't get what you meant there?
What can i do in the code to create a new URL? do i have to create a new path? if so how would i do it?

I'd say you're missing a couple of @Path annotations. As it is, how is the WS engine supposed to decide between the two methods handling GET?

What I was talking about is a REST concept, not a Java and certainly not a NetBeans concept.

You might take a look at this Wikipedia article and/or articles mentioned in the ranch FAQ on web services.

It is really important that you absorb RESTful architecture principles before coding any more.

The basic idea is that in a GET operation, the URL specifies a "resource" and the response is the current state of that resource - so:

http://somehost/therestservice/instrumentName/status - would return the status of the instrument
http://somehost/therestservice/instrumentName/value - would return the current reading

The servlet addressed by "therestservice" looks at the URL to decide which resource is desired.
