How to send an Array to a web service using the new API rest full

[Rubén V]

Hi,

I have a webservice in "Spring Boot" and I need to know how to send an array through the new REST API.

Thanks

Hi,

I don't think I can explain it well, I mean to send an array from my app to my webservice so that later it updates the database.

I have already used the parameters and the body (to send a record), but I need to send an array.

Thanks

Hi,
how do you generate the JSON and communicate with Spring Boot?

If you're using properties we have a fetch as list but not a post as list method. Normally I just create a business object representing the list so:

public MyList implements PropertyBusinessObject {

// ..

     public final PropertyList<MyList, MyObject> listOfObjects = ...

//...

Hi,

If I want to send a record from my app to update the database, I do it like this:

    public static Response adicionOrden2(Orden2 p) {

        Response<String> r = Rest.post(SERVER_URL + "orden/adicionOrden2").

                header("token", UsuarioService.getToken()).

                jsonContent().

                body(p.getPropertyIndex().toJSON()).getAsString();

        return r;

    }

How can I send an ArraList?

You have two options:

  public static Response adicionOrden2(Orden2List p) {

        Response<String> r = Rest.post(SERVER_URL + "orden/adicionOrden2").

                header("token", UsuarioService.getToken()).

                jsonContent().

                body(p.getPropertyIndex().toJSON()).getAsString();

        return r;

    }

Then Orden2List is just a class with a PropertyList in it.

The second option is:

    public static Response adicionOrden2(Orden2[] p) {

        StringBuilder array = new StringBuilder("[");

        boolean first = true;

        for(Orden2 current : p) {

             if(!first) {

                  array.append(",");

                  first = false;

             }

             array.append(p.getPropertyIndex().toJSON()).getAsString());

        }

       array.append("]");

        Response<String> r = Rest.post(SERVER_URL + "orden/adicionOrden2").

                header("token", UsuarioService.getToken()).

                jsonContent().

                body(array.toString()).getAsString();

        return r;

    }
