如何在rest客户端使用spring @RequestBody发送post请求

Question

I have a class Person.

class Person{
Integer id;
String firstName;
String lastName;
//other params, constructors, getters & setters
}

& My method is

    @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public void testPerson(
            @RequestBody Person person){
...
}

Now I need to test it using rest client. I tried setting up “request header” section of the Firefox plugin to have a “name” = “Content-Type” and “value” = “application/x-www-form-urlencoded” & then add parameters in body,

id=1&firstName=aaa&lastName=bbb

but it's giving 404.

Answer 1

If you are getting 404 response, this means either your request URL is wrong or you using GET method instead of POST or vise versa.

Then regarding passing Person in request, if @RequestBody is used you have to pass JSON or XML in the body of the request as playload.

JSON:

{
  "id":1,
  "firstName":"aaa",
  "lastName":bbb
}

XML

<person>
  <id>1<id>
  <firstName>aaa</firstName>
  <lastName>bbb</lastName>  
</person>
