Question

I have to invoke a restful Web-Service from client side java class.

I need to pass HashMap, Strings and it must return me a list of beans.
I am using jersey restful web service

My REST service is like this:

@put

public List<MilestoneDetailsBean> getMPPReader(
        @QueryParam("username") String username,
        @QueryParam("projid") String projid,
        @QueryParam("mppfile") File file,
        @QueryParam("dbtemplate") Map<String,Integer> dbtemplate)

could some one help me with how could I:

1. assign values to these query parameters in my client side java code
2. what type of produces and consumes parameter I should put for my Web-Service

Answer 1

1) depends on how you create the query. QueryParams are those parts of an URL behind the ?: ?key=value&key2=value2

So what you could do is to just append the keys and values to the request URL. Remember to encode the values.

Like: http://mydomain/service?username=hage&projid=hello+world&mppfile=myfile.txt

Map is not usable for this. See here

2) Dont’t know. Produces definitely depends on how you want to return the data (as xml, json, etc) and Consumes depends on what data you want to send to the server

Generally, for the client there exists a Jersey client API. Didn’t use it yet, but you might look at it.
