First, what i wanted to know is what i am doing is the right way to do it.
I have a scenario where i have will receive a json request and i have to update
the database with that, once the db is updated i have to respond back with the
json acknowledgment.
What i have done so far is create the class extending application as follows:
@Override
public Restlet createRoot() {
// Create a router Restlet that routes each call to a
// new instance of ScanRequestResource.
Router router = new Router(getContext());
// Defines only one route
router.attach("/request", RequestResource.class);
return router;
}
My resource class is extending the ServerResource and i have the following
method in my resource class
@Post("json")
public Representation post() throws ResourceException {
try {
Representation entity = getRequestEntity();
JsonRepresentation represent = new
JsonRepresentation(entity);
JSONObject jsonobject = represent.toJsonObject();
JSONObject json = jsonobject.getJSONObject("request");
getResponse().setStatus(Status.SUCCESS_ACCEPTED);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
ScanRequestAck ack = new ScanRequestAck();
ack.statusURL = "http://localhost:8080/status/2713";;
Representation rep = new
JsonRepresentation(ack.asJSON());
return rep;
} catch (Exception e) {
getResponse().setStatus(Status.SERVER_ERROR_INTERNAL);
}
My first concern is the object i receive in the entity is inputrepresentation
so when i fetch the jsonobject from the jsonrepresentation created i always get
empty/null object.
I have tried passing the json request with the following code as well as the
client attached
function submitjson(){
alert("Alert 1");
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://localhost:8080/thoughtclicksWeb/request";,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: "{request{id:1,
request-url:http://thoughtclicks.com/status}}";,
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg){
//alert("testing alert");
alert(msg);
}
});
};
Client used to call
ClientResource requestResource = new
ClientResource("http://localhost:8080/thoughtclicksWeb/request";);
Representation rep = new JsonRepresentation(new
JSONObject(jsonstring));
rep.setMediaType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
Representation reply = requestResource.post(rep);
Any help or clues on this is hight appreciated ?
Thanks,
Rahul
