Jersey, how to POST a list of JSON objects?

Question

I am building a RESTful web-service in Java using Jersey 1.11, and have problems implementing a method which consumes a list of JSON-ised entities. The single instance method wo

Answer 1

I think PathParam and also a Param which should unmarshalled by Jersey(JAX-RS) is not possible. Please try to remove the PathParam Parameter.

And if you need the second Parameter so create a new class like this

@XmlRootElement(name = "example")
public class Example {
  @XmlElement(name = "param")
  private String param;
  @XmlElement(name = "entities")
  private List entities;
}

and also modify your Methode :

@POST
@Path("/some-path")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public String createBatch(Example example)
{
   ... 
}

your JSON Should look like this:

{
 "param":"someParam",
 "entities":[
   {"field1" : value1, "field2" : value2}, {"field1" : value3, "field2" : value4}, ...]
}
