How can i format xml input for restful web service and invoke the service
Hi All I expose a service using restFul web service Server side code is
@RequestMapping(value = "/getPerson", method = RequestMethod.POST) public ModelAndView getPerson(@RequestParam("inputXml") String inputXml) {
------------------------- ----------------------------
} return new ModelAndView("userXmlView", BindingResult.MODEL_KEY_PREFIX + String.class, "Test"); }
Client side implementation is:
URL oracle = new URL("http://localhost:8081/testWeb/restServices/getPerson?inputXml=input");
System.out.println("Oracle URl is "+oracle);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection)oracle.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/xml; charset:ISO-8859-1");
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
connection.getInputStream()));
String inputLine;
while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(inputLine);
in.close();
I able to access the service using the URL http://localhost:8081/testWeb/restServices/getPerson?inputXml="input" Actually my requirement is, i need to pass xml string as a input like this
http://localhost:8081/testWeb/restServices/getPerson?inputXml="<?xml%20version="1.0"%20encoding="UTF-8"%20standalone="yes"?><product><code>WI1</code><name>Widget%20Number%20One</name><price>300.0</price></product>"
please help me to find the solution
Maya, /getPerson is not a RESTful URI name. You should use something like /person instead. That way, you can GET it or DELETE it using HTTP.
take a look at RestAssured
given().
formParam("formParamName", "value1").
queryParam("queryParamName", "value2").
when().
post("/something");
or spring RestTemplate
Map<String, String> vars = new HashMap<String, String>();
vars.put("count", "5");
restTemplate.getForObject(person, Person.class, vars);
