Hi Nitin, I'm able to access /atg/dynamo/Configuration component's properties using REST services from following code -
*/atg/rest/security/restSecurityConfiguration.xml*
<resource component="/rest/bean/atg/dynamo/Configuration">
     <default-acl value="[email protected]:read,write,execute"/>
     <property name="httpPort" secure="false"/>
</resource>
client Java code :
public class RestClientRequest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          RestSession mSession = RestSession.createSession("localhost", 8180, "[email protected]", "chinna");
          mSession.setUseHttpsForLogin(false);
          try{
               String loginStatus = mSession.login();
               if(loginStatus == null || "null".equals(loginStatus)){
                    mSession=null;
                    System.out.println("Login failed");
               else{
RestResult result = RestComponentHelper.getPropertyValue("/atg/dynamo/Configuration", "httpPort", null, mSession);
String test = result.readInputStream();
System.out.println("\n\n"+result.readInputStream());
but getting exception when i try to get repository item using the below code
<rest-security>
<resource component="/rest/repository/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog">
<default-acl>[email protected]:read,write,execute"</default-acl>
</resource>
</rest-security>
Client Java code:
public class RestClientRequest {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          RestSession mSession = RestSession.createSession("localhost", 8180, "[email protected]", "chinna");
          mSession.setUseHttpsForLogin(false);
          try{
               String loginStatus = mSession.login();
               if(loginStatus == null || "null".equals(loginStatus)){
                    mSession=null;
                    System.out.println("Login failed");
               else{
RestResult result = RestResult result = RestRepositoryHelper.getItems("/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog", "product", null, mSession);
String test = result.readInputStream();
System.out.println("\n\n"+result.readInputStream());
Exception :
Login successful
