泽西RESTful服务，错误500

Question

I am new to Restful web services. I want to access the Server via a Jersey Client. But I am getting a 500 error. What i am trying to do is submit an table name through the client end and retrieve the table contents as a JSON. Can anyone please find the error here?

This is my client end

 public JSONObject loadTable(String tablename) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
    pathParams.add("tablename", tablename);
    JSONObject jsontable = service.path("access").path("loadtable").queryParams(pathParams).get(JSONObject.class);
    return jsontable;
}

This is my Server end

@Path("/loadtable")
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
public JSONObject loadTable(@QueryParam("tablename") String tablename) throws Exception {
    List<Pricing> pricing = new ArrayList<Pricing>();
    try {
        query = c.prepareStatement("select * from '" + tablename + "'");
        ResultSet ets_rs = query.executeQuery();

        while (ets_rs.next()) {
            pricing.add(new Pricing(ets_rs.getString(1), ets_rs.getString(2),  ets_rs.getString(3), ets_rs.getString(4), ets_rs.getString(5), ets_rs.getString(6)));
        }
        query.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (c != null) {
            c.close();
        }
    }
    JSONObject jsonTable = JsonConvert.getJsonFromPricing(pricing);
    System.out.println(jsonTable);
    return jsonTable;
}

The Pricing class in the Server end converts the Result set to a JSON.

This is the StackTrace:

And this is the GlassFish Server Log

Answer 1

Jersey can't serialize your response of a JSONObject to JSON. Change your method to something like this:

@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response loadTable(@QueryParam("tablename") String tablename) throws Exception {
  // ...
  Pricing pricing = ...
  return Response.ok(pricing).build();
}

Annotate Pricing with JAXB @XmlRootElement and let JAXB do the conversion to JSON.

Answer 2

Since you're trying to send the request data as JSON format, you may modify the MIME type of server consumed data type to JSON type:

@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

Answer 3

Changed the Client End as follows

public String loadTable(String tablename) throws ClientProtocolException, IOException {
    pathParams.add("tablename", tablename);
    ClientResponse response = service.path("access").path("loadtable").queryParams(pathParams).type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).get(ClientResponse.class);
    String responseString = response.getEntity(String.class);
    return responseString;
}

and the server end as follows,

@Path("/loadtable")
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public List<Pricing> loadTable(@QueryParam("tablename") String tablename) throws Exception {
    List<Pricing> pricing = new ArrayList<Pricing>();
    try {
        query = c.prepareStatement("select * from " + tablename);
        ResultSet ets_rs = query.executeQuery();

        while (ets_rs.next()) {
            pricing.add(new Pricing(ets_rs.getString(1), ets_rs.getString(2),  ets_rs.getString(3), ets_rs.getString(4), ets_rs.getString(5), ets_rs.getString(6)));
        }
        query.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
        if (c != null) {
            c.close();
        }
    }
    return pricing;
}

And Annotated Pricing with JAXB @XmlRootElement... worked like magic! Thanks @LutzHorn for the comments!
