Hi Farrukh,
it seems, it is not only the format (missing double quotes at JSON keys).
Because then i am getting a different error message:
org.codehaus.jackson.JsonParseException: Unexpected character ('s' (code 115)): was expecting double-quote to start field name
The following, however, works for me fine with my own Address bean:
@POST
@Produces("application/json")
public Response update(Form formData) throws IOException {
GenericType<List<Address>> genericType =
new GenericType<List<Address>>() {
};
String jsonString = formData.getFirst("la");
MessageBodyReader<List<Address>> r = p.getMessageBodyReader(
genericType.getRawClass(), genericType.getType(), new Annotation[0],
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE);
List<Address> b = r.readFrom(genericType.getRawClass(), genericType.getType(), new Annotation[0],
MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE,
new InBoundHeaders(),
new ByteArrayInputStream(jsonString.getBytes()));
return Response.ok(new GenericEntity<List<Address>>(b){}).build();
}
If you adjust to your PostalAddress bean class, would the above code work for you?
Since i do not have your bean class code, i am using just:
@XmlRootElement
public class Address {
public String street;
public String town;
public Address(){}
public Address(String street, String town) {
this.street = street;
this.town = town;
}
}
and curl -d'la=[{street:"the street",town:"the town"}]'
http://localhost:9998/jsonForm
for testing.
Does it help?
