How to send the JSON data in rest web services? I have a json object which contains product Id,store Id,price,product Unit,quantity values.Here All the values are integ

Answer 1

Your JSON input:

{
  "productId": "p123",
  "storeId": "s456",
  "price": 12.34,
  "productUnit": "u789",
  "quantity": 42
}

The JAXB class:

@XmlRootElement
public class MyJaxbBean {
    public String productId;
    public String storeId;
    public double price;
    public String productUnit;
    public int quantity;

    public MyJaxbBean() {} // JAXB needs this

    public MyJaxbBean(String productId, String storeId, double price, String productUnit, int quantity) {
        // set members
    }
}

The JAX-RS method.

@PUT
@Consumes("application/json")
public Response putMyBean(MyJaxbBean theInput) {
    // Do something with theInput

    return Response.created().build();
}

See the documentation of Jersey (the RI for JAX-RS) for details.
