How to consume json parameter in java restful service

Question

How can i consume json parameter in my webservice, I can able to get the parameters using @PathParam but to get the json data as parameter have no clue what to do.

Answer 1

@PathParam is used to match a part of the URL as a parameter. For example in an url of the form http:/example.com/books/{bookid}, you can use @PathParam("bookid") to get the id of a book to a method.

@QueryParam is used to access key/value pairs in the query string of the URL (the part after the ?). For example in the url http:/example.com?bookid=1, you can use @QueryParam("bookid") to get the value of `bookid.

Both these are used when the request url contains some info regarding the parameters and you can use the data directly in your methods.
