Hello Mark, You know..do you cover this in your book? I don't recall seeing an example of this.
Anyway, it's a POST method to a Java/Jersey rest resource. I assumed I would have to some how set the type to multipart/form-data like a browser does for uploading files. I am using your book in fact to work on a simple camera app, that takes a picture and submits it to a rest service. The picture gets taken, I have the byte[] jpeg data in the handler. I want to send that to the rest service so it can be stored there. I am making two rest calls tho. The first is to send some data (a dialog will pop up allowing the user to enter some info..namely some comments). I'll send that comments along with gps location info to the first rest call. It will create a new entry in a DB and the response will be the id of that entry. I will then make a rest call using that id to a different path to submit the byte[] image data to. I have the other rest call working fine, just need to figure out how best to send the picture data. But, to be fair.. if there is an approach that sends any binary data, such as files as well as pictures, that is fine too. I've seen some various examples, where using FileBody and Base64 encoding the byte[] and such.. figured there would probably be a better/faster way without using Base64 to send the byte[] directly. Thanks for any help you can provide. On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 3:42 PM, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com>wrote: > You are going to need to be a bit more specific.
