How to pass text as input in a POST request body with Jax-RS

#java #rest #codever #snippets

Use MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN in the @Consumes annotation and then you have access to the text content as string

    @POST
    @Path("organisation")
    @Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    @ApiOperation(value = "Create bookmark from text")
    @ApiResponses({
            @ApiResponse(code = 201, message = "Bookmark successfully created.", response = Bookmark.class),
            @ApiResponse(code = 403, message = "Forbidden")
    })
    public Response createBookmark(@ApiParam("Bookmark") String boookmark, @Context UriInfo uriInfo) throws JAXBException {
        Bookmark created = bookmarkService.createBookmarkFromString(bookmark);
        UriBuilder builder = uriInfo.getAbsolutePathBuilder();
        builder.path(created.getUuid().toString());
        return Response.created(builder.build()).build();
    }
