This plugin is designed to accommodate changes in Oracle's REST API. It will pass all properties that don't start with weblogic. or otd. as top-level data in the JSON request, and pass each prefixed data as data inside of parameters as the type of the prefix. Any properties that Oracle supports can be used even if not listed in the tables above. If there is a validation error, the data from Oracle is excellent for providing the solution.


Here is an example error message from leaving a field blank:

flexagon.ff.common.core.exceptions.FlexCheckedException: FDSOACloud-00051: Unexpected status code 400 - Bad Request - SOA-PROVISIONING-13: validation error - field "type": "OTD" - shape - value is required.


This means that you need to send in otd.shape={value}


If you set it to an invalid value, you will receive an error like this:

flexagon.ff.common.core.exceptions.FlexCheckedException: FDSOACloud-00051: Unexpected status code 400 - Bad Request - SOA-PROVISIONING-14: validation error - field "type": "OTD" - shape - entered value thjklas is invalid, please set one of the values - OC3/OC4/OC5/OC6/OC7/OC1M/OC2M/OC3M/OC4M/OC5M


In this error, "OTD" – shape means that otd.shape had an invalid value, and lists possible correct values.
