Rest api how to get parameters? - rest

Question

I'm new to rest api.
I need to make an api that takes a string as parameter and then return boolean.
Now my question is how to i pass that string to my api, and then get the string inside my api?

Answer 1

Here's one example that takes a string in parameter and has a default value if the query parameter is not provided:
#Path("business/department/")
public interface DepartmentService {
#GET
#Path("/cs/availability/chat")
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
boolean getCustomerServiceAvailability(#QueryParam("type") #DefaultValue("chat") String type);
}
and the implementation class can be anything that implements your interface. In this example, it's a stateless EJB
#Stateless
public class DepartmentServiceImpl implements DepartmentService {
#Context
private HttpServletRequest request;
private static final Logger LOGGER = Logger.getLogger(DepartmentServiceImpl.class.getName());
#Override
public boolean getCustomerServiceAvailability(String scheduleType) {
RequestInfo reqInfo = new RequestInfo(request, this.getClass(), "getCustomerServiceAvailability");
boolean available;
try {
available = CallBusinessService(scheduleType);
} catch (Exception e) {
LOGGER.log(Level.SEVERE, e.getLocalizedMessage());
throw new ServiceException();
} finally {
reqInfo.logExecutionTime();
}
}
}
