Question
How to pass POST request in body using REST connector..?
Hello Friends
I have a REST service which accepts json payload in http body.
I designed a REST connector and chose POST as method to fire request. It created the integration class with property .request (Page property which contains .body_POST which is another page property pointing to another class)
E.g.Sample json payload is like {"key1":"value1", "key2":"value2", "key3":"value3"}
E.g. Org-Int-RESTAPI {.request}
Org-Int-RESTAPI_REQUEST (.body_POST)
Org-Int-RESTAPI_Body_POST
Note : request and body_post don't pattern-inherit from RESTAPI. It uses "_" rather than "-".
a) I tried creating text properties in Org-Int-RESTAPI_Body_POST and then call Connect-REST (MapFrom : JSON, Map from Key: .request) in Activity using this request, but I get
the HTTP response code of 415 indicated a client error.
b) Then I tried MapFrom : CONSTANT, Map from Key: {"key1":"value1", "key2":"value2", "key3":"value3"}. But it didn't work either.
Can someone assist with this.?
Accepted Solution
Is the request header Content-Type required and set? i.e. "application/json"
Hello, could you please post you solution. i have met the same problem, i want to use a REST-Connector and the POST method to fire request, but i get the 400 response code indicated a client error. And I have simulated it with SOAPUI, it worked.
Thanks!
The solution that was already posted here was "make sure your 'content-type' request header matches the format of the data you are sending."
This may or may not be the solution to your issue. Make sure the Service accepts the kind of content you're sending, and that you are providing acceptable information in the header values.
Thank you for your reply.
i have used the following settings:
the service accepts only json.
Connect-REST (Post Method, Content-Type: application/json MapFrom : JSON, Map from Key: .request, and the value of ".request" was set via a datatransform, actually it is a json-string:
{"fields": {"project":{"key":"TEST"},"summary": "i am a test","description": "Test.","issuetype": {"name": "Task"}}}
When "Map from" is set to "JSON" it means "serialize a page property to JSON."
In your case you have a text property that already has JSON in it, so you would want to set the "Map from" to "Clipboard."
can you explain this with an example?how can we pass json for file attachment?
Please create a separate post for your needs rather than posting this reply to multiple preexisting posts. That will make it easier for others to assist you.
