Accessing application/json message body of POST request
Hi all,
has someone ever accessed the message body of a post request to cocoon
which uses application/json as its content type?
The same request is being handled without issues if posted as
application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
Though, as soon as the content type is changed to JSON, Cocoon appears
to skip parsing the message body.
Unfortunately it's not me making these POST calls; which is why just
"switching it" is not an option.
Is there some setting which can tell cocoon to simply continue parsing,
either regardless of a post's content type (which, of course might raise
security issues…) or explicitly for application/json ?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Bardo

Sorry, my mail got cut in the middle.
So, you should place @Consumes annotation in REST Resource + all that
Spring config explained here:
https://cocoon.apache.org/3.0/reference/html-single/index.html#webapps.rest
AND
JSONProvider in spring config:
<bean id="jsonProvider"
class="org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.provider.json.JSONProvider" > <property
name="singleJaxbContext" value="true" /> <property name="extraClass">
<list> <value>package.to.class.Order</value> </list> </property> </bean>
This one is from Apache CXF but you can use any other (e.g. from Jersey).
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
Greg

Hi Bardo,
Are you talking about REST in C3 (cocoon-rest dependency) ?
Have you tried annotating REST Resource with:
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
?
e.g.
@Path("/orders")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)public class OrderRestResource {
[image: (2)]
private Settings settings;
private static Map<Integer, Order> orders = new HashMap<Integer, Order>();
@POST
public void createOrder(Order order) {
orders.put(order.id, order);
}
}

Hi Warrell,
thanks for the input.
Though our problem actually isn't *processing* the JSON, but initially
getting it out of a POST request's application/json message body at all.
If the JSON is postet wwwform-urlencoded and comes with common
variable-value pairs, indeed a variety of options exists.
If, however, one cannot even destill the payload itself out of the
request, the largest variety of processing options is not of much help.
What I get is more something like this
> POST /serviceendpoint/ HTTP/1.1
>
> Host: mydomain.com
>
> Authorization: MyAuthKeyHere
>
> Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
>
> Content-Type: application/json // this is the identified reason, why
> Cocoon stops processing before the message body
>
> Accept-Language: en-us
>
> Accept: */*
>
> Content-Length: 80
>
> Connection: keep-alive
>
> User-Agent: proprietaryUA
>
> {"jsonPayload":"verylongpayloadcontentcangohereifyoulike"}
Nonetheless, thanks for all of your suggestions; will get back to these
lateron for sure...
Best,
Bardo

Hi Bardo,
The simplest way that I have found to handle json posts is to use the text
generator. Alternatively, you are free to write a json generator which
would convert json to xml as this is the default data format of cocoon. I
have been successfuly using cocoon to handle json (the contemporary data
format of choice) for a few years now. Very recently I have been using
cocoon as middleware between a datasource and Cube. This Node.js app front
ends mongodb using json as the transport over http. Cocoon still rocks in
this new world. Please get in touch if there is anything I can help with.
Best regards Warrell
