I'm trying to learn Jersey, Java's REST framework based on the Jax RS specification. I'm doing a tutorial from pluralsite which isn't that great. But anyway, I've gotten to a point where I'm using Google Chromes postman to submit url encoded form parameters to my service.
The class I'm using for my resource methods is called ActivityResource. Every @GET annotated method works but not the @POST method.
The path I'm submitting is localhost:8080//webapi/activities/activity
No matter what, if i insert a slash in front of either path parameter, rearrange the annotation headers or apply the old fashioned "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" argument I always get a rotten HTTP Status 415 - Usupported Media Type response. Does anyone have any idea what I'm missing. Is there a missing jar that I need?
@Path("activities")
public class ActivityResource {
private ActivityRepository activityRepository = new ActivityRepositoryStub();
@POST
@Path("activity")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
@Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
public Activity createActivityParams(MultivaluedHashMap<String, String> formParams) {
System.out.println(formParams.getFirst("description"));
System.out.println(formParams.getFirst("duration"));
Activity activity = new Activity();
activity.setDescription(formParams.getFirst("description"));
activity.setDuration(Integer.parseInt( formParams.getFirst("duration")));
String id = String.valueOf( activityRepository.findAllActivities().size() );
activity.setId(id);
activityRepository.findAllActivities().add(activity);
return activity;
}
.....My Get methods down here which actually output functioning results
}
