Consider this request:
{
"call" : {
"type" : "Call",
"subject" : null
}
}
This object:
@XmlRootElement(name = "call")
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE)
public class ApiCallActivity {
@NotNull
@XmlElement(name = "type")
public String type;
@Size(min = 1, max = 255)
@XmlElement(name = "subject")
public String subject;
}
And this webservice:
@ApplicationScoped
@Path("/")
@Consumes({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
public class CallActivityController {
@Inject
private Logger log;
@Inject
private BeanValidator validator;
@EJB
private CallActivityService callActivityService;
@Path("/")
@POST
public void postCall(ApiCallActivity apiCall) {
log.info("postCall() apiCall.subject:{}", apiCall == null ? null :
apiCall.subject);
}
}
How come subject is a 0 length string "" not null... like a surprised
individual might discover? Is there a way to make null be null?
