I want to create REST implementation for System Information which is under Legacy-UI module. I have identified the required SystemInfo code base files in module repo. > Now I want to implement REST for this functionality. I have referred Wiki tutorials also. (For [Module developers](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Adding+a+Web+Service+Step+by+Step+Guide+for+Module+Developers) and for [Core developers](https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Adding+a+Web+Service+Step+by+Step+Guide+for+Core+Developers)). But I couldn’t find out the exact to way to perform this task. Can someone help me to implement REST for this functionality? (It would be better If anyone mentions the extract ways) ---

A very similar example would be the `orderentryconfig` resource in the REST web services module: - [https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-webservices.rest/blob/master/omod-1.10/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/webservices/rest/web/v1\_0/resource/openmrs1\_10/OrderEntryConfigResource1\_10.java](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-webservices.rest/blob/master/omod-1.10/src/main/java/org/openmrs/module/webservices/rest/web/v1_0/resource/openmrs1_10/OrderEntryConfigResource1_10.java) - [https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-webservices.rest/blob/master/omod-1.10/src/test/java/org/openmrs/module/webservices/rest/web/v1\_0/resource/openmrs1\_10/OrderEntryConfigResource1\_10Test.java](https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-module-webservices.rest/blob/master/omod-1.10/src/test/java/org/openmrs/module/webservices/rest/web/v1_0/resource/openmrs1_10/OrderEntryConfigResource1_10Test.java) ---

Thank you @harsha89 and @darius for the tips. I am new to REST development and I have created the [SystemInfomationResource1\_8](https://gist.github.com/suthagar23/15a60915010404ba49b0cf15cccb9b57). Using this resource I can get the System information objects using REST Test part. ![](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d2899fb943292aeaae89769a08b33203d5d56887.PNG) * * * But I got this following error when I try to catch the GET request using my browser , ![](https://talk.openmrs.org/uploads/default/original/2X/d/dd69685d9eefafa8c031948f4f7c6600d20ab855.PNG) What is the missing part in my [SystemInfomationResource1\_8](https://gist.github.com/suthagar23/15a60915010404ba49b0cf15cccb9b57). Can somebody help me to resolve this? ---

This is the error log for the exceptions here : [https://pastebin.com/uEv518DW](https://pastebin.com/uEv518DW) How can I resolve this problem? ---

What happens if you access this URL using postman or some other REST client (specifically, with the Accept header set to application/json)? I.e. this might just be a problem in converting the response to XML… (Also you could try adding .json to the url in the browser.)
