I have a class like this:
class Customer {
private int id;
private String name;
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
}
and I have a glass fish web service:
i want to know it is possible to send a customer object using get
(i know i can do this in post, but in get … i don’t know)
this is what i tried:
@GET
@Path("/test")
@Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
public String test(@QueryParam("customer") Customer customer) {
return "Done " + customer.getId();
}
then i call it like this:
..../test?id=4&name=william
I know that is wrong, but i don’t know the correct way, and i don’t know if that is even possible using get
Answer
@QueryParam should be used for each individual parameter. For instance
/cusomters?name=hello&id=1
@GET
@Produces(...)
public Response get(@QueryParam("name") String name,
@QueryParam("id") int id)
If you want put it into a bean, you can use @BeanParam, which allows you to put arbitrary @XxxParams into a bean. For example
class Customer {
@QueryParam("name")
private String name;
@QueryParam("id")
private int id;
// getters/setters
}
@GET
public Response get(@BeanParam Customer customer)
But do keep in mind REST principles. To create a customer resource, it should be done with POST. Also be considerate of security concerns. You do not want private user information in URLs.
