java - Get simple JSON Parameter from a JSON request in JAX-RS -

the client/browser makes json request rest resource (the content-type of request application/json , corresponding rest method @consumes("application/json") annotated).

@path("/process-something") @post @produces("application/json") @consumes("application/json") @handledefaultexceptions public aresponse processsomething(list<long>) {  } 

the json body consists of simple types, list<long> or string.

is there simple possibility json parameters injected annotating somehow, similar @formparam in case of application/x-www-form-urlencoded request? other easier solutions decoding json string jackson's objectmapper or jettison's jsonobject.

you may create java class reflects data model of json object , annotate jaxb's @xmlrootelement. can map attributes custom json key name @xmlelement annotations, e.g.:

@xmlrootelement public class myjsonoject{     @xmlelement(name="json-key-name")     public string attribute; } 

then jersey can decode json object transparently , voila!

@path("/process-something") @post @produces("application/json") @consumes("application/json") public aresponse processsomething(myjsonoject json) {     log.fine(json.attribute); }
