Need help with XML response to refresh document with context and prompts

Question

I've been working with the Restful api for a few weeks now and have been able to figure out most of what I need to automate testing of our reports. However, one task that I have not been able to figure out is how to refresh a document that contains both a context and two prompts for dates.
Here is what I have tried, and what the API responds with.
1) I queried the API for this document's parameters using the following call after logging in -
headers = {:accept=>'application/xml', :content_type=>'application/xml', :x_sap_logontoken=>@token}
url = "http://our.url.net:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/12345/parameters"
RestClient.get(url, headers)
The response from the API is:
<parameters>
    <parameter dpId="DP0" type="context" optional="false">
        <id>0</id>
        <technicalName>cQuery 1</technicalName>
        <name>Select a context</name>
        <answer type="Text" constrained="true">
            <info cardinality="Single">
                <lov partial="false">
                    <values>
                        <value id="CTX_1">LOAN</value>
                        <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
                    </values>
                </lov>
                <values>
                    <value id="CTX_1">LOAN</value>
                    <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
                </values>
                <previous>
                    <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
                </previous>
            </info>
            <values>
                <value id="CTX_9">LOAN_APPLICATION</value>
            </values>
        </answer>
    </parameter>
</parameters>
2) This tells me I need to supply a context, so I then replace my RestClient.get call with a RestClient.put call with the following payload:
<parameters>
     <parameter>
            <id>0</id>
            <answer>
                  <values>
                        <value id=\"CTX_9\"/>
                  </values>
            </answer>
      </parameter>
</parameters>
3) This satisfies the context portion of the refresh. The API replies with the following response, telling me I need to answer two prompts -
<parameters>
     <parameter dpId=\"DP0\" type=\"prompt\" optional=\"false\">
          <id>1</id>
          <technicalName>psEnter value(s) for Start Date of Application Received Date</technicalName>
          <name>Enter value(s) for Start Date of Application Received Date</name>
           <answer type=\"DateTime\" constrained=\"false\">\
                <info cardinality=\"Single\"/>
           </answer>
     </parameter>
     <parameter dpId=\"DP0\" type=\"prompt\" optional=\"false\">
            <id>2</id>
            <technicalName>psEnter value for End Date of Application Received Date</technicalName>
            <name>Enter value for End Date of Application Received Date</name>\
            <answer type=\"DateTime\" constrained=\"false\">
                <info cardinality=\"Single\"/>
            </answer>
      </parameter>
</parameters>
4) Here is where I am having problems. I have tried all kinds of permutations of the below payload/response body. All I ever get from the API is a 400 - BadResponse error.
<parameters>
     <parameter>
          <id>0</id>
          <answer>
               <values>
                    <value id=\"CTX_9\"/>
               </values>
          </answer>
     </parameter>
</parameters>
<parameters>
     <parameter type=\"prompt\">
          <id > 1 </ id>
          <answer type=\"DateTime\">
               <values>
                    <value>2012-06-11T09:50:54.000-04:00</value>
               </values>
           </answer>
     </parameter>
     <parameter type=\"prompt\">
           <id > 2 </ id>
           <answer type=\"DateTime\">
                <values>
                     <value>2014-07-11T09:50:54.967-04:00</value>
                </values>
           </answer>
     </parameter>
</parameters>
I am not very good with XML and the terminology around it, and I haven't received much training around using the Restful API other than the SDK documentation. I have a feeling there is something very basic that Im missing here. What is the correct XML needed in the response body to properly refresh the document?

Answer 1

If you are more confortable with JSON, Raylight supports it as well.
