Json property “teacher” was added to the Section by Level endpoint. My app failed. I checked the change log but can't find a notice about the change. Does this happen regularly?

    Hi Jason,

    Could you possibly post some code samples of your issue? We tend to add properties often and haven't heard of this sort of thing happening before. My hope is that with your help we may be able to prevent your issue from happening in the future.

    Thanks!

    Hi Jared,


    My issue is I haven't found an effective POJO generator for WADL definitions. I've written a Java Spring based application where I've hand coded the REST interface with my hardcoded POJO classes. The change in the teacher property caused my POJO to be incompatible with the REST data structure.


    What I'm hoping for is a change list or notification that a data structure change was planned for future release.


    Thanks,


    Jason

    Jason,

    We will work harder to make sure changes are reflected in our change-log before they are released. I am curious if you tried using Swagger Codegen? https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-codegen/

    I know it uses the OpenApi definition instead of the WADL, but it might be worth exploring.

    Best,

    Jared
