AngularJS $http.post method passing null arguments to JAX-RS API

Question

I'm trying to pass some arguments with AngularJS post method:

function Create(email, password, phoneNumber) {
        return $http.post('resources/users/register', {email: email, password: password, phoneNumber: phoneNumber}).then(handleSuccess, handleError('Error creating user'));
    }

to my JAX-RS method :

@POST
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON )
@Path("/register")
public Response register(@FormParam("email") String email, @FormParam("password") String password,
                         @FormParam("phoneNumber") String phoneNumber) {

I have loggers before $http.post and on the very beggining of register method, when arguments on the web side contains info, then every argument on server is null -> I was trying to use curl method - everything was fine!

Anyone have an idea?

Answer 1

Try to change the json object like this :

{'email': email, 'password': password, 'phoneNumber': phoneNumber}

Javascript var ---> String name values

JSON data is written as name/value pairs. A name/value pair consists of a field name (in double quotes) , followed by a colon, followed by a value:

I bet that is your case:

@POST
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/register")

You're missing @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
