Hello,
It's not possible to create a view from the API, since the views are part of the Hudson config.xml itself, it seems that the createItem URL doesn't match the need as it looks designed to create the new config.xml for a dedicated job.
The REST API could be some thing like:
GET http://myserver:8080/view (All views)
GET http://myserver:8080/view/myView (switch to Specific view - myView)
POST http://myserver:8080/view (Create new view as defined in the posted XML)
Can you please have a look?
Thanks and regards,
Julien

added a comment - another option:
java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s <jenkins_url> groovy createView.groovy --username <user> --password <passwd>
where createView.groovy contains
hudson.model.Hudson.instance.addView(new hudson.model.ListView("ViewX"))

java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s <jenkins_url> groovy createView.groovy --username <user> --password <passwd>
where createView.groovy contains
hudson.model.Hudson.instance.addView(new hudson.model.ListView("ViewX")) Found this by looking through the source code:
It is possible in Jenkins 1.509.4 to create views via the REST api
view.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <hudson.model.ListView> <name>MyView</name> <filterExecutors>false</filterExecutors> <filterQueue>false</filterQueue> <properties class="hudson.model.View$PropertyList"/> <jobNames> <comparator class="hudson.util.CaseInsensitiveComparator"/> </jobNames> <jobFilters/> <columns> <hudson.views.StatusColumn/> <hudson.views.WeatherColumn/> <hudson.views.JobColumn/> <hudson.views.LastSuccessColumn/> <hudson.views.LastFailureColumn/> <hudson.views.LastDurationColumn/> <hudson.views.BuildButtonColumn/> </columns> </hudson.model.ListView>
Create the view:
curl -vvv -X POST -d @view.xml -H "Content-Type: text/xml" http://localhost:8080/jenkins/createView?name=MyView
Get the configuration:
curl http://localhost:8080/jenkins/view/MyView/config.xml
Update the view:
curl -X POST -d @view.xml -H "Content-Type: text/xml" http://localhost:8080/jenkins/view/MyView/config.xml
Oleg: Needs to be documented on the /view/Foo/api page, similar to 'Create Job' on /api.

added a comment - this solution works pretty well with few limitation:
- nestedView plugin does not register it's own class and curl end with exception that NestedView is not resolved.
- in case of subviews, xml needs to be extended with <parent> node, unfortunately in case of coping view a to b, parent node is not visible.

May I know the folder location of my view configuration page.
curl http://localhost:8080/jenkins/view/MyView/config.xml is not working for me.

Also I am unable to create new view using curl
curl -vvv -X POST -d @viewconfig.xml -H "Content-Type: text/xml" http://localhost:8080/jenkins/createView?name=My-Test-View -u admin:e973b7863cbsa11dsacdf2cd9db758091
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.

rajraja This is an issue tracker, not a support site. Please don't ask support type questions here. (Also, please don't ask where to ask. Just search a bit.)
I have created https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/pull/7692 to address the missing documentation.
It is possible to create a view, though it's a bit complicated:
{"name": "ViewX", "mode": "hudson.model.ListView"}wget --post-data='name=ViewX&mode=hudson.model.ListView&json=
' http://.../jenkins/createView
Both parameters "name" and "mode" are required twice, as POST parameter and in the json argument. If one is missing, Jenkins responds with "400 Bad Request".
I think this URL is not meant to be used as remote REST API, but it actually can.
I would suggest to fix the problem above, so that either POST parameters can be used or a JSON snippet can be posted.
