I am experimenting with the JSON-API and experimenting an error
I am using POSTMAN for testing and connecting to a local Postgress DB
Post / localhost:7575/v1/query
Body
{
“templateIds”: [“Main:CitizenInvitation”],
“query” : {“citizen”: “Alice”}
}
Response:
{
“result”: ,
“errors”: [
“Endpoints.ServerError: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: The server does not support SSL.”
],
“status”: 501
}
Other JSON-APIs seem not to have this problem
Any suggestions for a fix ?
Which parameters are you supplying to the JSON API? In particular what are you passing to --query-store-jdbc-config?
Found the resolution
Switching from “POST” to “GET” resolves the issue
Please update the documentation
POST is correct here please don’t just switch to GET. The GET request ignores the body and doesn’t perform any filtering which is probably why it doesn’t hit the postgres backend which is used for queries.
Yes. I noticed that just a minute ago
Here is my JSON-API Command
daml json-api --ledger-host localhost --ledger-port 6865 --http-port 7575 --max-inbound-message-size 4194304 --package-reload-interval 5s --application-id HTTP-JSON-API-Gateway --static-content “prefix=static,directory=./static-content” --query-store-jdbc-config “driver=org.postgresql.Driver,url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test?&ssl=true,user=Bart,password=password,createSchema=false”
Remove the ssl=true part (and the comma afterwards) if your postgres instance is not running with TLS.
yes, this error is coming from the postgres JDBC driver. Just start json-api with
--query-store-jdbc-config “driver=org.postgresql.Driver,url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test?&user=Bart,password=password,createSchema=false”
You are running with JSON API with query store search index (postgres backend). Only query endpoint uses it. Technically you don’t need query store search index if your dataset is reasonably small. For your local experiments you can drop --query-store-jdbc-config command line options completely.
removing it created errors on starting up the json-api
so I changed it
ssl=false
new error
{
“result”: ,
“errors”: [
“Endpoints.ServerError: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: relation "template_id" does not exist\n Position: 18”
],
“status”: 501
}
Looks like you didn’t create the schema so change it to createSchema=true run it once and then go back to createSchema=false
Here is the error when removing ssl=true
it is complaining it requires a user field although it is present
Error: Invalid JdbcConfig, must contain ‘user’ field
Try --help for more information.

createSchema -- boolean flag, if set to true, the process will re-create database schema and terminate immediately.
--query-store-jdbc-config driver=org.postgresql.Driver,url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test?&user=Bart,password=password,createSchema=false
?& – is the reason
Please try with:
--query-store-jdbc-config driver=org.postgresql.Driver,url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/test?user=Bart,password=password,createSchema=false
or just drop --query-store-jdbc-config option and make sure it runs without postgres search index first.
Createschema changes fixed it. Thanks for the help
Would a createSchemaIfMissing option be a useful feature?
We considered and explicitly rejected such a feature in discussing #3386, because “I have correctly configured the database, it is just empty” is not the only reason the schema may appear to be absent. As that issue suggests, the command you use to normally start JSON API is far safer to deploy if it never uses DDL.
