How to send json to rest service to make Jersey to parse it as a POJO?

This is my code that makes ajax call using jquery:

$.get("/login", { token: { name:"Donald", password:"Ducktown" }} , 
     function (data) {
            console.log(data);
 });

This is my POJO:

public class Token {

    private String name;

    private String password;

    public Token() {}

    //+getters, setters, toString
}

This is my rest service:

@Path("login")
public class LoginService {
    
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoginService.class);

    @GET
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public void login(Token token) {
        logger.info("Token={}", token);
    }
}

And this is output:

12:16:12.211 [qtp967677821-35] [INFO] com.foo.LoginService - Token=null

Please, say how to send json correctly to make Jersey to parse it as a POJO.

This is jersey config info, that is printed in logs when Jersey starts:

And these are my dependencies for Jersey. As gson parser I try to use jackson:

EDIT 1 When I change get to post (in javascript and in login service) I get:

Solution

  • Based on what you have, it should work with this:

    $.get("/login", {name:"Donald", password:"Ducktown"} , 
     function (data) {
            console.log(data);
 });

    Your POJO mapping has the fields name, password, so your JSON should only contain them:

    ublic class Token {

    private String name;

    private String password;

    public Token() {}

    //+getters, setters, toString
}

    When you send in { token: { name:"Donald", password:"Ducktown" }}, you are stating your Pojo should look like:

    public class TokenWrapper {

    private Token token;
}


public class Token {

    private String name;

    private String password;

}

    And your API endpoint should change to:

        @GET
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public void login(TokenWrapper token) {
        logger.info("Token={}", token);
    }
