This plugin is designed to accommodate changes in Oracle’s REST API. It will pass all properties that don’t start with parameter. as top-level data in the JSON request, and pass each parameter. data as data inside the parameters section. Any properties that Oracle supports can be used even if not listed in the table above. If there is a validation error, the error message can be used to troubleshoot.
Here is an example error message from leaving a field blank:
SEVERE - flexagon.ff.common.core.exceptions.FlexCheckedException.init() - FDDBCloud-00201: The value of the [shape] parameter cannot be empty.
This means that you need to send in shape={something}
If you set it to an invalid value, you will receive an error like this:
SEVERE - flexagon.ff.common.core.exceptions.FlexCheckedException.init() - FDSC-00051: Unexpected status code 503 - Service Unavailable
