I am trying to produce both xml and json from my rest service.
#Produces({"application/xml", "application/json"})
However, when I try to use the service using curl/SOAPUI, I get back either xml or json depending on which is mentioned first. In simple words, only the first method is considered. Is there a workaround?
You should check this link out - oracle docs for #Produces
The spec says that it does indeed default to the first one if that is acceptable as specified by the media type on the request. You should check your soapUI tool and see what headers you are sending. If they are both being sent you will get a response with the first one listed in your #Produces annotation.

I have tried to find a solution in this community in different threads but yet to find one that I am looking for.
I am using SoapUI version 5.3.0 My Application have a couple of RESTful APIs. Initially I am sending json request to a WebService and getting back the following XML Response:
<StartDataExtractResult xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/AriaTechCore" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<StatusCode>1</StatusCode>
<StatusText>success</StatusText>
<RequestNumber>397</RequestNumber>
</StartDataExtractResult>
As soon as RequestNumber tag is generated. I have to access to 2 more XML EndPoints (where the value of RequestNumber is appended) to know the Status as below:
A. http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetExtractionDetails/396
B.
http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetRequestStatus/396
As of now, I have created the 2 seperateTestSteps for the above mentioned XML Endpoints:
A. http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetExtractionDetails/
B. http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetRequestStatus/
Now I need to append the value within tag in the GET Request to get back a response from the WebServices.
Update:
I have created a 'Property Transfer' at Testsuite level as "TSreqNum". This 'Property Transfer' is getting updated as per the initial Response. But I am not sure how would I append "TSreqNum" to construct the complete GET Request as:
http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetExtractionDetails/TSreqNum
Can anyone help me out please?
You can use the property within the URL of the GET request:
http://host:port/path/${#TestSuite#TSreqNum}
The URL gets updated with the property value.
Issue: How to correlate messages for an aggregator based on a XML value in the payload? I have a scenerio where I call a third party application and it only gives back an xml response. Based on an xml value in the payload I would like to correlate the messages to produce a single response back to the consumer.
Example using Header Attribute
#CorrelationStrategy
public Object correlate(Message message) throws JMSException {
return message.getHeaders().get("JMSXUserID");
}
Solution Notes:
As described below and referenced in the spring documentation for xml payload support.
http://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/reference/html/xml.html#xpath-spel-function
Sample Config Applied:
<aggregator
id="agg"
input-channel="jmsInChannel"
output-channel="outputChannel"
ref="AggregatorPOJO"
method="combineResponesMessages"
correlation-strategy-expression="#xpath(payload, '/test/name')"
release-strategy="AggregatorPOJO"
release-strategy-method="isComplete"/>
This will correlate the following xml.
<test><name>test1</name></test>
Take a look if #xpath() SpEL function can help you, for example:
correlation-strategy-expression="#xpath(payload, '/name')"
where payload is a payload in some XML representation of messages to correlated and /name is an XPath against that payload.
You should be sure that spring-integratrion-xml jar is on your CLASSPATH.
You would have to parse the XML; you might be able to use a simple regex Pattern or you might have to convert the payload to a DOM for more complex situations.
I need to create a ReST service using Jersey 2.0. I need to send multiple documents and metadata to the client.
What is the best approach do to the achieve this.
I was able to send a MultiPart response from the server , but not sure how to read this from the client code
Let's say you have a document called "document1" which you want to get via your client.
In your REST-API your unique identifier for the document (the resource) could be:
http://example.com/restapi/documents/document1
As you want to READ data you do a HTTP-GET Request to that uri.
And here comes the important part for you: A resource can have multiple representations - meta data and binary data in your case.
So the client has to tell the server which representation type to get (content negotiation). This information can be set in the ACCEPT Header of the client request for instance.
You can use the content type "application/json" as a representation for the meta data.
Unfortunately you didn't tell us what kind of binary data you want to send.
If they are PDFs the content type would be "application/pdf" for instance. If the binary data doesn't have a specific type you can use "application/octet-stream".
Of course there is work to be done on the server side too. Here an example:
#Path("/documents/{documentname}")
public class docResource {
#GET #Produces("application/json")
public Response getDocumentMetaData(#PathParam("documentname") String docName) {
// Create a Response containing a json
}
#GET #Produces("application/pdf")
public Response getDocumentBinaryData(#PathParam("documentname") String docName) {
// Create a response containing the binary data
}
...
}
Jersey will check the accept header of the client and will run the appropriate method.
Also see: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/jaxrs-resources.html
If you are using jersey with jackson you can also easily marshal a POJO to JSON and visa versa:
http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/enterprise-java/rest/jersey/json-example-with-jersey-jackson/
If you are not sure what to do in the "getDocumentBinaryData"-Method - checkout this simple example from mkyong:

I have been looking at the answer to this question:
Pulling details from response to new request SoapUI
which is similar to what I am looking for but I can't get it to work.
I have a small SOAPUI testsuite and I need to extract a value from the response of a SOAP request and then use this value in a subsequent REST request.
The response to my SOAP request is:
<ns0:session xmlns:ns0="http://www.someurl.com/la/la/v1_0">
<token>AQIC5wM2xAAIwMg==#</token>
</ns0:session>
so I need the token to use in my REST request. I know it involves using Property Transfer and some XPath / XQuery but I just can't get it right. At the moment my property transfer window points to Source: SOAP test Property: Response and has data(/session/token/text()) in the text box. In target it has Target: REST testcase Property: newProp and I have Use XQuery checked.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian
I think you just need to declare the namespace ns0 and use it in the XPath. Also, uncheck the XQuery, it is only used when you are using XQuery, not XPath.
Replace your expression with this:
declare namespace ns0='http://www.someurl.com/la/la/v1_0';
/ns0:session/token/text()
I've generated the web service client in eclipse for the OpenCalais WSDL using the "develop" client type. Actually I was following this post so not really going in detail. Now when I get the results this way: new CalaisLocator().getcalaisSoap().enlighten(key, content, requestParams);, I get the String object, containing the response XML. Sure it's possible to parse that XML, but I think there must be some way to do it automatically, e.g. getting the response object in the form of some list whatsoever?
The response from the SOAP interface is already parsed. The englighten() method returns an XML string. When you call it with SOAP, this response is wrapped within even more XML. The SOAP library already parses the outer SOAP XML and returns the result of the enlighten() method, which is also XML.
