Since Google AppEngine 1.8.5 there is a new warning in the development environment:
WARNING 2013-09-27 10:10:53,035 api_config.py:1768] Method specifies pat
They recently updated the docs to explain this change here: Google App Engine Docs
Basically what you want to do is to separate the request body and the query/path parameters.
The request body will be a normal messages.Message
class and you define any additional parameters in the ResourceContainer
.
YOUR_RESOURCE_CONTAINER = endpoints.ResourceContainer(
MyRequestBodyMessagesClass,
parameter1=messages.IntegerField(2, required=True)
parameter2=messages.StringField(3))
This change should help to minimize the amount of necessary Message classes because you can mostly reuse the RequestBody-Message for Response-Messages as well.
Note: if you are using the endpoints-proto-datastore there's an open issue about this.
