Is it possible in REST, to obtain the data type for a given attribute.
In particular, I need to query the memory in order to find - if the returned attribute is an integer.

    John, Hold on a sec... there is a way to get the data type. Use the REST call:

    ws/configs/{spaceName}?format=json

    We need to add some of these undocumented APIs to our online documentation.

    When using this REST call, is it possible to get just the dataschema, or just the attributes. I am getting a net.sf.json.JSONException: Unterminated string Error - in which I can't seem to locate the root cause of.

    John, Yes, you should also be able to do:

    /configs/{space}/sources/{source} - config for a specific source as xml
/configs/{space}/sources/{source}.xml - config for a specific source as xml
/configs/{space}/sources/{source}.text - config for a specific source as text for easy diffing
/configs/{space}/sources/{source}.html - config for a specific source as html for easy diffing

    Where source is your dataschema name (same name as source).

    John, I think you might need the word sources before your source name. e.g. http://nash.ds.boeing.com:8080/configs/cas_67_space/sources/castle, however, I don't think it will return the dataschema, just the source definition. I will log a feature enhancement to add the dataschema elements to the result. thanks.

    John, Also, if you want a different format it is a url param, not an extension as I noted above. For example, .../sources/castle?format=json, not .../sources/castle.json. Sorry for the confusion.
