Create a rule for AppFabric topic using REST API

Question

I am trying to create a rule for an AppFabric Topic subscription using REST API.

First I create a topic, then I create a subscription and finally I want to create a rule that will filter messages for my subscription.

I succeeded to create the topic and the subscription but when I sent the PUT request to create the rule I Got a 400 error – "Bad request".

 

var ruleAddress = string.Format("https://{0}.servicebus.windows.net/{1}/subscriptions/{2}/rules/{3}", serviceNamespace, topicName, subscriptionName, druleName);

         

WebClient webClient = new WebClient();

webClient.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.Authorization] = token;

 

var putData = @"<entry xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"">

<title type=""text"">testrule</title>

 <content type=""application/xml""> 

    <RuleDescription xmlns:i=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns=""http://schemas.microsoft.com/netservices/2010/10/servicebus/connect"">

      <Filter i:type=""SqlFilterExpression"">

              <SqlExpression>To='myvalue'</SqlExpression>

       </Filter>                                        

    </RuleDescription>

   </content>

 </entry>";

 webClient.UploadData(ruleAddress, "PUT", Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(putData));

 

Does anyone know where I can find an example that demonstrates how to create a rule using the REST api? Or even better does anyone know why do I get the "Bad request Error"?

 

Thanks

Hi Manu,

- try the following:

<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'>              
  <content type='application/xml'>    
    <RuleDescription xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/netservices/2010/10/servicebus/connect">                 
     <Filter i:type='SqlFilter'>   
        <SqlExpression>To='myvalue'</SqlExpression>
        <CompatibilityLevel>20</CompatibilityLevel>
      </Filter>
     </RuleDescription>
    </content>
 </entry>

 

Thanks

Roman
