I am building an REST API with JAX-RS. I have POST that consumes an JSON element:
The element is a class:
@XmlRootElement
public class EventData{
public long start;
public long end;
public Collection<Person> persons;
}
I have an method like this:
@POST
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public Response transactionRequest(EventData insert){
....}
if I post a JSON String of an EventData
it works fine, but if I switch to:
@POST
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public Response transactionRequest(ArrayList<EventData> insert){
....}
and send an JSON String like this "{eventData:[{start:x,end:y,persons:[....]}]"
it will build the ArrayList
and its EventData
objects, but the EventData
object variables are null
.
Can anybody help?
You need to send a JSON array consisting of JSON objects representing your EventData
class.
The sample you've given isn't such a JSON array, but a JSON object with a single property named 'eventData' containing an JSON array.
Try something like this (based on your EventData
class):
[
{ "start":1, "end":2, "persons":[] },
{ "start":3, "end":4, "persons":[] }
]
Notice that there is no mention of your EventData
class, because JSON has no concept of named types -- it's just objects and arrays of objects; only the properties of objects have names.
