The project screen view is updated with the new project details as defined in the
pom.xmlfile. You can switch between project descriptor files and edit their content by clicking the Project Settings: Project General Settings button at the top of the project screen view.
Creating a Project Using the REST API
Note that only users with the rest-all or rest-project role can create projects.
To create a project in the repository, issue the POST REST API call. Details of the project are defined by the corresponding JSON entity.
Input parameter of the call is an Entity instance. The call returns a CreateProjectRequest instance.
Example 1.1. Creating a Project Using the Curl Utility
Example JSON entity containing details of a project to be created:
Execute the following command:
curl -X POST 'localhost:8080/business-central/rest/repositories/REPOSITORY_NAME/projects/' -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"MortgageProject","description":null,"groupId":"org.mycompany.commons","version":"2.1.1"}'
curl -X POST 'localhost:8080/business-central/rest/repositories/REPOSITORY_NAME/projects/' -u USERNAME:PASSWORD -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"MortgageProject","description":null,"groupId":"org.mycompany.commons","version":"2.1.1"}'
