While working on REST API, I am using POST method to fetch data from Mongo DB using @FormParam annotation. When I use GET type, then it returns the response in JSON and while changing the method from GET to POST, I am getting blank response.
The code:
//GetResponse.java
//
@Path("/Location")
public class GetProjectLocationResponse {
@POST
@Path("/State")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Object[] addBuild2(
@FormParam("Country") String Country,
@FormParam("State") String State) throws UnknownHostException, JSONException
{
System.out.println("ïnside Location");
Location loc = new Location();
List<DBObject> basicDBList=(List<DBObject>) loc.getState2(Country, State); //calling state method
return basicDBList.toArray();
}
//Location.java
//This defines the list of available zipcpdes on the basis on parameter 'Country' and 'States'.
public List<DBObject> getState2(String Country, String State) throws UnknownHostException {
DB db=ConnectToDB.getConnection();
DBCollection collection = db.getCollection("location");
BasicDBObject obj = new BasicDBObject();
obj.put("Country",Country);
obj.put("State",State);
BasicDBObject fields = new BasicDBObject();
fields.put("_id", 0);
DBCursor cursor = collection.find(obj, fields);
List<DBObject> obj1 =cursor.toArray();
System.out.println(""+obj1);
return obj1;
}
}
//index.html
//This file includes parameters 'country' and 'states' to return the JSON response.
<form action="rest/Location/State" method="post">
Enter Country:<input type="text" name="Country"/><br/><br/>
Enter State:<input type="text" name="State"/><br/><br/>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
I have checked the code but did not find any clue what is wrong in this that causing this blank response for POST type, while its working fine for GET type. I though it should have worked for POST type as the code specification is correct for both type. Please specify any issue there. Thanks in advance
