How can i pass name value pairs as body to a POST ReST Service in Jersey. Something similar to the code below using Apache Commons PostMethod
final PostMethod post = new PostMethod(url);
post.setRequestBody(new NameValuePair[] {
new NameValuePair("loginId", userId),
new NameValuePair("logonPassword", password),
new NameValuePair("signature", signature),
new NameValuePair("timestamp", timestamp),
new NameValuePair("sourceSiteId", sourceSiteId) });
I'm porting this call to my application. The current call uses apache commons PostMethod. In my application i used Jersey. So i want to use the jersey classes/features instead of apache.
There is a MultivaluedMap interface in JAX-RS
with a 'MultivaluedMapImpl' in Jersey.
Client client = Client.create();
WebResource webResource = client.resource("http://site.com/resource");
MultivaluedMap<String, String> map = new MultivaluedMapImpl();
map.put("loginId", loginId);
...
ClientResponse response = webResource.type("application/x-www-form-urlencoded")
.post(ClientResponse.class, map);
Here is a more comprehensive example of how to use Jersey client API.
