How to access json Post method values in netbeans using Java

Question

I'm struggling with my restful webservice (Java & Netbeans 8.2)

My method looks like:

@POST
@Path("/usedPacking")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public void setUsedPackage( ??? ) {
    ???
}

Actually I would like to receive a json-message as post-data like: {"PackageID":"12345","Used":"false"}

My question is: What do I have to replace the "???" with?

For GET-Methods it is:

@QueryParam("ID") String input

Which allows me to access the variable specified as ID by using input.

Everything I've found so far didn't quite address the problem I face..

Answer 1

For a JAXRS webservice you can create an annotated class that maps to your json eg

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement; 

@XmlRootElement 
public class Package { 
    private String packageID; 
    private Boolean used; 

    // getters and setters here
}

then ??? will be your class

public void setUsedPackage(Package package)

When you post your json you'll need to specify the Content-type header as application/json

Here's a jaxrs tutorial I found that may help
