I have a rest Controller where i am trying to get the Token from a service using the RestTemplate in Spring Boot. The application works fine when i use Postman but from Java Application i get 400 Bad Request.
My Java Sample :
#PostMapping("/service")
private String generateAuthenticationToken() {
HttpHeaders authenticationTokenHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
authenticationTokenHeaders.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);
JSONObject sfmcBUCredential = new JSONObject();
JSONObject sfmcTokenResponseObject;
sfmcBUCredential.put("grant_type", sfmcConfig.getGrant_type());
sfmcBUCredential.put("client_id", sfmcConfig.getClient_id());
sfmcBUCredential.put("client_secret", sfmcConfig.getClient_secret());
String sfmcBUCredentialString = sfmcBUCredential.toString();
System.out.println("Values before sending to POST Request are :::" + sfmcBUCredentialString);
HttpEntity<String> getTokenEntity = new HttpEntity<>(sfmcBUCredentialString, authenticationTokenHeaders);
System.out.println("Values after sending to POST Request are :::" + getTokenEntity.toString());
System.out.println("URL is :::" + GET_SFMC_ENDPOINT_URL);
//String tokenResponse = restTemplate.postForObject(GET_SFMC_ENDPOINT_URL, getTokenEntity, String.class);
ResponseEntity<String> tokenResponse = restTemplate.exchange(GET_SFMC_ENDPOINT_URL, HttpMethod.POST, getTokenEntity, String.class);
sfmcTokenResponseObject = new JSONObject(tokenResponse.getBody());
System.out.println("tokenResponse::::::::" + sfmcTokenResponseObject.getString("access_token").toString());
return sfmcTokenResponseObject.getString("access_token");
}
Logs :
Values before sending to POST Request are :::{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_secret":"c1ae4b4a-498e-46a0-a02e-cd2378cb8db6","client_id":"Y43iLAhr4e0SoJ9KkV4vLKnGhNmS1Y3c"}
Values after sending to POST Request are :::<{"grant_type":"client_credentials","client_secret":"c1ae4b4a-498e-46a0-a02e-cd2378cb8db6","client_id":"Y43iLAhr4e0SoJ9KkV4vLKnGhNmS1Y3c"},[Content-Type:"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"]>
URL is :::https://keycloak.lab.hci.aetna.com/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token
Try something like this:
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);
MultiValueMap<String, String> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<>();
map.add("grant_type", sfmcConfig.getGrant_type());
map.add("client_id", sfmcConfig.getClient_id());
map.add("client_secret", sfmcConfig.getClient_secret());
HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, String>> entity = new HttpEntity<>(map, headers);
ResponseEntity<LabelCreationResponse> response =
restTemplate.exchange("url",
HttpMethod.POST,
entity,
String.class);
I am trying to make rest call using rest template. I have two header parameters and one path variable to set for the API call. Below is my implementation. But I am receiving HttpServerErrorException: 500 null. Am I setting the path variable in the right way?
Target API: drs/v1/{caseId}
String url = configProperties.getCaseCreateUrl();
if(!StringUtils.isEmpty(url)){
url = url.replace(ApplicationConstants.DOMAIN_NAME,currentUser.domainUrl());
url = url+ caseId;
}
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set(ApplicationConstants.PS_TOKEN_HEADER, currentUser.getToken());
headers.set(ApplicationConstants.WORGROUP_HEADER, currentUser.getWorkgroupId());
headers.set(ApplicationConstants.DOMAIN_HEADER, currentUser.getDomainId());
headers.set(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, MediaType.ALL_VALUE);
HttpsTrustManager.allowAllSSL();
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
HttpEntity<Map<String, String>> requestEntity = new HttpEntity(null, headers);
ResponseEntity<CaseDetailsDTO> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, requestEntity, CaseDetailsDTO.class);
I am providing a code snippet of RestTemplate GET method with path variables example
public ResponseEntity<List<String>> getNames(long id) {
final String url = "https://some/{id}/name";
//with cookies
ResponseEntity<String> cookie = getCookies();
String set_cookie = cookie.getHeaders().getFirst(HttpHeaders.SET_COOKIE);
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
headers.add("Cookie", set_cookie);
HttpEntity request = new HttpEntity(headers);
ResponseEntity<List<String>> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, request,new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<String>>(){},id);
return response;
}
I have spring rest service such this
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST,
path = "/getdata", consumes = {"multipart/form-data"}, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public
#ResponseBody
Result getBarcode(#RequestParam("text") String sl,
#RequestParam("imageFile") MultipartFile file) {
... some logic
return new Result(text, message, !processingError);
}
When i call this from http form it works fine and return json text. But when i trying to call this from java code
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
MultiValueMap<String, Object> map = new LinkedMultiValueMap<>();
map.add("text", "123");
map.add("imageFile", new File("...path to file..."));
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA);
headers.setAccept(MediaType.parseMediaTypes("application/json,text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml"));
HttpEntity<MultiValueMap<String, Object>> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<>(map, headers);
ResponseEntity<BcResult> response = restTemplate.exchange("http://localhost:8080/getdata", HttpMethod.POST, requestEntity, BcResult.class);
Then i am getting 400 Bad request error. Can`t figure out what is wrong with this code...
Set your file like this.
map.add("imageFile", new FileSystemResource(new File("...path to file...")));
or like this
map.add("imageFile", new ClassPathResource("...path to file..."));
I have to make a REST call that includes custom headers and query parameters. I set my HttpEntity with just the headers (no body), and I use the RestTemplate.exchange() method as follows:
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Accept", "application/json");
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("msisdn", msisdn);
params.put("email", email);
params.put("clientVersion", clientVersion);
params.put("clientType", clientType);
params.put("issuerName", issuerName);
params.put("applicationName", applicationName);
HttpEntity entity = new HttpEntity(headers);
HttpEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, entity, String.class, params);
This fails at the client end with the dispatcher servlet being unable to resolve the request to a handler. Having debugged it, it looks like the request parameters are not being sent.
When I do a an exchange with a POST using a request body and no query parameters it works just fine.
Does anyone have any ideas?
To easily manipulate URLs / path / params / etc., you can use Spring's UriComponentsBuilder class to create a URL template with placehoders for the parameters, then provide the value for those parameters in the RestOperations.exchange(...) call. It's cleaner than manually concatenating strings and it takes care of the URL encoding for you:
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set(HttpHeaders.ACCEPT, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);
HttpEntity<?> entity = new HttpEntity<>(headers);
String urlTemplate = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpUrl(url)
.queryParam("msisdn", "{msisdn}")
.queryParam("email", "{email}")
.queryParam("clientVersion", "{clientVersion}")
.queryParam("clientType", "{clientType}")
.queryParam("issuerName", "{issuerName}")
.queryParam("applicationName", "{applicationName}")
.encode()
.toUriString();
Map<String, ?> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("msisdn", msisdn);
params.put("email", email);
params.put("clientVersion", clientVersion);
params.put("clientType", clientType);
params.put("issuerName", issuerName);
params.put("applicationName", applicationName);
HttpEntity<String> response = restOperations.exchange(
urlTemplate,
HttpMethod.GET,
entity,
String.class,
params
);
The uriVariables are also expanded in the query string. For example, the following call will expand values for both, account and name:
restTemplate.exchange("http://my-rest-url.org/rest/account/{account}?name={name}",
HttpMethod.GET,
httpEntity,
clazz,
"my-account",
"my-name"
);
so the actual request url will be
http://my-rest-url.org/rest/account/my-account?name=my-name
Look at HierarchicalUriComponents.expandInternal(UriTemplateVariables) for more details.
Version of Spring is 3.1.3.
Since at least Spring 3, instead of using UriComponentsBuilder to build the URL (which is a bit verbose), many of the RestTemplate methods accept placeholders in the path for parameters (not just exchange).
From the documentation:
Many of the RestTemplate methods accepts a URI template and URI
template variables, either as a String vararg, or as
Map<String,String>.
For example with a String vararg:
restTemplate.getForObject(
"http://example.com/hotels/{hotel}/rooms/{room}", String.class, "42", "21");
Or with a Map<String, String>:
Map<String, String> vars = new HashMap<>();
vars.put("hotel", "42");
vars.put("room", "21");
restTemplate.getForObject("http://example.com/hotels/{hotel}/rooms/{room}",
String.class, vars);
Reference: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/integration.html#rest-resttemplate-uri
If you look at the JavaDoc for RestTemplate and search for "URI Template", you can see which methods you can use placeholders with.
OK, so I'm being an idiot and I'm confusing query parameters with url parameters. I was kinda hoping there would be a nicer way to populate my query parameters rather than an ugly concatenated String but there we are. It's simply a case of build the URL with the correct parameters. If you pass it as a String Spring will also take care of the encoding for you.
String uri = http://my-rest-url.org/rest/account/{account};
Map<String, String> uriParam = new HashMap<>();
uriParam.put("account", "my_account");
UriComponents builder = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpUrl(uri)
.queryParam("pageSize","2")
.queryParam("page","0")
.queryParam("name","my_name").build();
HttpEntity<String> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<>(null, getHeaders());
ResponseEntity<String> strResponse = restTemplate.exchange(builder.toUriString(),HttpMethod.GET, requestEntity,
String.class,uriParam);
//final URL: http://my-rest-url.org/rest/account/my_account?pageSize=2&page=0&name=my_name
RestTemplate: Build dynamic URI using UriComponents (URI variable and Request parameters)
I was attempting something similar, and the RoboSpice example helped me work it out:
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Accept", "application/json");
HttpEntity<String> request = new HttpEntity<>(input, createHeader());
String url = "http://awesomesite.org";
Uri.Builder uriBuilder = Uri.parse(url).buildUpon();
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(key, value);
uriBuilder.appendQueryParameter(key, value);
...
String url = uriBuilder.build().toString();
HttpEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, request , String.class);
Converting of a hash map to a string of query parameters:
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("msisdn", msisdn);
params.put("email", email);
params.put("clientVersion", clientVersion);
params.put("clientType", clientType);
params.put("issuerName", issuerName);
params.put("applicationName", applicationName);
UriComponentsBuilder builder = UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpUrl(url);
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : params.entrySet()) {
builder.queryParam(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Accept", "application/json");
HttpEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(builder.toUriString(), HttpMethod.GET, new HttpEntity(headers), String.class);
In Spring Web 4.3.6 I also see
public <T> T getForObject(String url, Class<T> responseType, Object... uriVariables)
That means you don't have to create an ugly map
So if you have this url
http://my-url/action?param1={param1}¶m2={param2}
You can either do
restTemplate.getForObject(url, Response.class, param1, param2)
or
restTemplate.getForObject(url, Response.class, param [])
I take different approach, you may agree or not but I want to control from .properties file instead of compiled Java code
Inside application.properties file
endpoint.url = https://yourHost/resource?requestParam1={0}&requestParam2={1}
Java code goes here, you can write if or switch condition to find out if endpoint URL in .properties file has #PathVariable (contains {}) or #RequestParam (yourURL?key=value) etc... then invoke method accordingly... that way its dynamic and not need to code change in future one stop shop...
I'm trying to give more of idea than actual code here ...try to write generic method each for #RequestParam, and #PathVariable etc... then call accordingly when needed
#Value("${endpoint.url}")
private String endpointURL;
// you can use variable args feature in Java
public String requestParamMethodNameHere(String value1, String value2) {
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate
.getMessageConverters()
.add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);
HttpEntity<String> entity = new HttpEntity<>(headers);
try {
String formatted_URL = MessageFormat.format(endpointURL, value1, value2);
ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(
formatted_URL ,
HttpMethod.GET,
entity,
String.class);
return response.getBody();
} catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }
If you pass non-parametrized params for RestTemplate, you'll have one Metrics for everyone single different URL that you pass, considering the parameters. You would like to use parametrized urls:
http://my-url/action?param1={param1}¶m2={param2}
instead of
http://my-url/action?param1=XXXX¶m2=YYYY
The second case is what you get by using UriComponentsBuilder class.
One way to implement the first behavior is the following:
Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<>();
params.put("param1", "XXXX");
params.put("param2", "YYYY");
String url = "http://my-url/action?%s";
String parametrizedArgs = params.keySet().stream().map(k ->
String.format("%s={%s}", k, k)
).collect(Collectors.joining("&"));
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);
HttpEntity<String> entity = new HttpEntity<>(headers);
restTemplate.exchange(String.format(url, parametrizedArgs), HttpMethod.GET, entity, String.class, params);
public static void main(String[] args) {
HttpHeaders httpHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
httpHeaders.set("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE);
final String url = "https://host:port/contract/{code}";
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("code", "123456");
HttpEntity<?> httpEntity = new HttpEntity<>(httpHeaders);
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, httpEntity,String.class, params);
}
I am providing a code snippet of RestTemplate GET method with path param example
public ResponseEntity<String> getName(int id) {
final String url = "http://localhost:8080/springrestexample/employee/name?id={id}";
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("id", id);
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
HttpEntity request = new HttpEntity(headers);
ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.exchange(url, HttpMethod.GET, String.class, params);
return response;
}
You can use follow code for String.
URL_EXAMPLE="http://{domain}/Index.php?Username={user}&password={password}";
String domain = "example.com";
String user = "user";
String password = "password";
String data=this.restTemplate.getForObject(URL_EXAMPLE,String.class,domain,user,password);
If your url is http://localhost:8080/context path?msisdn={msisdn}&email={email}
then
Map<String,Object> queryParams=new HashMap<>();
queryParams.put("msisdn",your value)
queryParams.put("email",your value)
works for resttemplate exchange method as described by you
hi i build url with query params using this code:
UriComponentsBuilder.fromHttpUrl(url)
.queryParam("bikerPhoneNumber", "phoneNumberString")
.toUriString();
One more solution as method:
private String execute(String url, Map<String, String> params) {
UriComponentsBuilder uriBuilder = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url)
// predefined params
.queryParam("user", "userValue")
.queryParam("password", "passwordValue");
params.forEach(uriBuilder::queryParam);
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders() {{
setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);
setAccept(List.of(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON));
}};
ResponseEntity<String> request = restTemplate.exchange(uriBuilder.toUriString(),
HttpMethod.GET, new HttpEntity<>(headers), String.class);
return request.getBody();
}
