Hi, I'm using vCloud Automation Center 6.1 and I'd like to use its REST API from a java client that I'm writing. Some of the API methods are working as expected but for
REQUEST
>> "{"@type":"CatalogItemRequest","catalogItemRef":{"id":"752ae9bd-abcd-4dc4-b425-6f5e3c8620b0"},"organization":{"tenantRef":"MY_TENANT","subtenantRef":"BUSINESS_GROUP_ID"},"requestedFor":"MY_USER","state":"SUBMITTED","requestNumber":0,"requestData":{"entries":[{"key":"provider-blueprintId","value":{"type":"string","value":"e32edcf1-6a10-4bc7-98e2-a23245aeb857"}}]}}"

It seems like the json string that I'm posting is not valid because of "organization" field. But both the official doc http://pubs.vmware.com/vCAC-61/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vcloud-automation-center-61-programming-guide.pdf and/or this blog post http://www.vmtocloud.com/vrealize-automation-rest-api-with-curl/ contain a similar json request.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrea
