RequestBody does not work with Json

[Hannah J Swystun]

Hi,

I have a problem to handle a Json Request from BODY but it seems working with :

String[] computers = request().body().asFormUrlEncoded().get("computercode");

but not with :

JsonNode json = request().body().asJson();

Error returned (image below) , Json request is NULL!!! but it is not with asFormUrlEncoded!!!

Is the data posted with a application/json mime type ?

I have no idea about mime type!!! I just followed the doc https://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.2.x/JavaJsonRequests
this is my code :

Hi Igmar,
I added to my code this but this is not working yet:

response().setContentType("text/json");

text/json is not application/json. Second, the request needs to set the proper header, modifying the response object is of no use (it is already parsed at that stage).

Send the correct mimetype with the POST ?

I tried both of content type : Application & TEXT => KO

//Controller

@BodyParser.Of(BodyParser.Json.class)
public Result checkbox()
{
       
           
          String[] postAction = request().body().asFormUrlEncoded().get("action");
         
          String action = postAction[0];

 

    String[] computers = request().body().asFormUrlEncoded().get("computercode");

               
    response().setContentType("application/json");
    //response().setContentType("text/json");

    JsonNode json = request().body().asJson();
   
             
             
                  String ids = ListUtils.mkString(computers, s -> "" + s, ";");
                  Logger.info("This is working fine  : ids Selected are : "+ids);
           
                  Logger.info("This returns NULL");    
                  return ok("Json : "+json);
                       
             
}

list.scala.html

<form method="POST" action="/ComputersCustomActions">

<figure>
 <button class="myBtn" type="submit" name="action" value="JsonList" formtarget="_blank"
            style="background: url('@routes.Assets.at("images/toolbars/json.png")') ;">            
 </button>
 <figcaption>Json
         <br>BindRequest

</figure>

</form>

Routes :

A normal POST will yield an application/x-www-form-urlencoded by default, not a JSON body. To get that, you'll have to use Javascript. You can't magically transform a normal body to JSON, you really need to send JSON.
