Hi everybody,
I have been trying to publish my data using the Z-ALPHA JSON Server for a while now without success. I can't seem to find any errors on the App Engine log nor on my server's log.
Do any of you have a working example that shows how to retrieve ODK's JSON post that I can work off of?
Thank you very much!
Yael
Can you access the server you are trying to publish to from the internet?
I.e., from a public wifi location?
If not, then AppEngine will also not be able to transmit to it.

Hi Mitch,
Yes, I set up a public website to receive the json file. I just don't have that much experience working with JSON so I could really use an example to see if I am doing things correctly...
Thanks!
I would start simple. First just set up your public server to not have any
security/authentication and to read any POST requests and print their
contents to your server's log file.
Set up the Z-ALPHA JSON Server Publisher. And be sure you use ODK
Aggregate 1.4 -- this publisher has changed between 1.3.x and 1.4.
The POST entity body that ODK Aggregate will send to your server will be a
JSON serialization of an object, as described here:
http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/AggregateToJSonXmlREDCapPublishers
under the Simple JSON Publisher heading.
i.e., a JSON serialization of this Javascript object:
{ token: "authToken",
content: "record",
formId: "yourFormId",
formVersion: "yourFormVersion",
data: [* { ... } *, ... ]
}
Where the fields in bold are replaced with the appropriate information
specific to your site.
Once you get the server reading and handling the POST requests from ODK
Aggregate, you can then enable authentication (rejecting any requests that
have an unexpected authToken value), and then move on to parsing the data
field as needed for your downstream processing.

Yael,
If you want a quick and dirty server to test with, attached is the
source for a JSON server I hacked together. It listens for posts on
port 12345 and prints the result out to the command line.

Thank you both!!
I ended up publishing to Fusion Tables and using the Fusion Tables API (https://developers.google.com/fusiontables) through google´s PHP API Client (https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client) and it worked
Cheers,
Yael
