How to read data in response of POST operation using jersey client (RestFull)

In my java client application, I am accessing a endpoint URL and could able to get response back, but it is in HTML code!.

Method : Post

resource.accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE);

WebResource resource = Client.create().resource(
                communicatorVO.getTargetURL());
String **response** = resource.queryParams(communicatorVO.getFormData()).type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE).post(String.class, gson.toJson(communicatorVO.getRequestObject()));

The response object always contains HTML code! How to get the actual data?

If I try using chrome restful client, am getting below response.

{ "access_token" : "YOUR_NEW_ACCESS_TOKEN", "token_type" : "bearer", "expires_in" : 10800, "refresh_token" : "YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN", "scope" : "write read offline_access" }

Solution

  • This issue has been resolved.

    I added type & accept in single line and it started returning expected json response. Now I can parse the json into any java object.

    Code : 

    response = resource.type(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_TYPE).accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE).post(ClientResponse.class, communicatorVO.getFormData());;
