Sales force showing custom objects via REST API

Question

I am new to sales and I have a problem. I would like to manipulate (create, update, delete and select) data from my user objects using the REST API.

I managed to get the sample to work, and it sends me account information. Details

Now I would like to do the same for the created custom object.

I tried this code but it does not work.

HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient(); GetMethod get = new GetMethod(instanceUrl + "/services/data/v22.0/sobjects/Employee__c/EC-1000"); get.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "OAuth " + accessToken); httpclient.executeMethod(get); System.out.println("Status:" + get.getStatusCode()); System.out.println("Status Text:" + get.getStatusText()); 

Exit: Status: 404 Status Text: not found

I created an object named employee and ID EC-1000.

The above works for default objects that are an account.

It works exactly the same, except that instead of using the name of the standard object, you use your custom object API name, for example. If you have a custom object called Handsets, its api name will be Handsets__c, and you can POST on /services/data/v22.0/sobjects/Handsets__c to create a new one.

To access a specific record, you will need a record identifier of 18 characters, just like for an account (or you need to configure the external interface).
