Jersey: Consume all POST data into one object

Question

I am using Jersey 1.8 in my application. I am trying to consume POST data at the server. The data is of the type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

Answer 1

For cases where the Content-Type is multipart/form-data, this MultivaluedMap approach won't work.

Use FormDataMultiPart - docs here.

Answer 2

Got it. As per this document, I can use a MultivaluedMap<K,V> or Form to get all the POST data of the type application/x-www-form-urlencoded in one object. A working exmple:

    @POST
    @Path("/urienodedeample")
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response uriEncodedExample(MultivaluedMap<String,String> multivaluedMap) {
        logger.info(multivaluedMap);
        return Response.status(200).build();
    }
