Difference between openidm.read and REST api via curl

[lombao]

Hi
I am uncertain on how to classify this. My apologies in advance if I missed something in the doc, but I would have assume that the reply of both internal openidm.read and REST api should be basically the same

In the ast version 7.0.2 of openidm I am seeing the following
If I use CURL to get a fields like "_fields=username,manager/userName"... then I get the expected response

{ "_id":"...." "userName": The right username .. "manager" { .... "userName": " Username of the manager" } }

But if I request the same using openidm.read , the reply is like

{ "_id": "the correct id as before" "userName": The username of the Manager !!!!!!! "manager" { ..... } }

It is like when using openidm.read there is a clash or problem when using "/"

Is it a bug ? Is it expected behaviour ?

Hi @lombao,
That is the expected behaviour - fields are case-sensitive, so username does not return anything. The correct field name is userName (camelCase). For example, your request...

curl -X GET --location "http://localhost:8080/openidm/managed/user/9e38767c-9a5f-4159-884c-da9f9ba09b55?_fields=username%2Cmanager%2FuserName" \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    -H "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" | jq
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100   221    0   221    0     0   6907      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  7129
{
  "_id": "9e38767c-9a5f-4159-884c-da9f9ba09b55",
  "_rev": "2",
  "manager": {
    "_ref": "managed/user/e2137a54-e377-4c65-a3df-4f887201db82",
    "_refProperties": {
      "_id": "8c94b57e-4036-4b65-a48e-79d8aa3d4aa7",
      "_rev": "1"
    },
    "userName": "jane"
  }
}

correct request:

curl -X GET --location "http://localhost:8080/openidm/managed/user/9e38767c-9a5f-4159-884c-da9f9ba09b55?_fields=userName%2Cmanager%2FuserName" \
    -H "Accept: application/json" \
    -H "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" \
    -H "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" | jq
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed

{
  "_id": "9e38767c-9a5f-4159-884c-da9f9ba09b55",
  "_rev": "2",
  "userName": "demo",
  "manager": {
    "_ref": "managed/user/e2137a54-e377-4c65-a3df-4f887201db82",
    "_refProperties": {
      "_id": "8c94b57e-4036-4b65-a48e-79d8aa3d4aa7",
      "_rev": "1"
    },
    "userName": "jane"
  }
}

sorry about the username typo, I know about the case, that is NOT the problem.
The issue is the different behaviour I am observing for returning objects with relationships between REST api ( curl ) and script ( openidm.read() , when I ask via the REST ( curl ) returning fields like "manager/userName" , I get the username of the user object which is the manager. However, using openidm.read it seems the same request is ignored

please provide curl request and response example
