spring-rest

How can I get the raw json string from spring rest template? I have tried following code but it returns me json without quotes which causes other issues, how can i get the json as is. ResponseEntity<Object> response = restTemplate.getForEntity(url, Object.class); String json = response.getBody().toString(); You don't even need ResponseEntity s! Just use getForObject with a String.class like: final RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate(); final String response = restTemplate.getForObject("https://httpbin.org/ip", String.class); System.out.println(response); It will print something like:

I would like to get the XML data from request and response and use it into Rest controller. I tried this: @RestController() public class HomeController { @PostMapping(value = "/v1") public Response handleMessage(@RequestBody Transaction transaction, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response System.out.println("!!!!!!! InputStream"); System.out.println(request.getInputStream()); System.out.println(response.getOutputStream()); InputStream in = request.getInputStream(); String readLine; BufferedReader br =

An Abstract controller class requires List of objects from REST. While using Spring RestTemplate its not mapping it to required class instead it returns Linked HashMAp public List<T> restFindAll() { RestTemplate restTemplate = RestClient.build().restTemplate(); ParameterizedTypeReference<List<T>> parameterizedTypeReference = new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<T>>(){}; String uri= BASE_URI +"/"+ getPath(); ResponseEntity<List<T>> exchange = restTemplate.exchange(uri, HttpMethod.GET, null,parameterizedTypeReference); List<T> entities = exchange.getBody(); // here entities are List<LinkedHashMap

I have some Spring RESTful (RestControllers) web services with no web.xml and I am using Spring boot to start the services. I want to add authorization layer for the web services and wanted to route all the http requests to one front controller before actually calling the web service itself. (I have a code to simulate sessions behavior at the autherisation layer, to validate a user based on a generated key that I send with each of the httpRequest from the client). Is there any Standard Spring solution on routing all the requests to a filter /front controller? Thanks in advance, Praneeth Edit:

I'm working on rest api with spring boot. I need to log all requests with input params (with methods, eg. GET, POST, etc), request path, query string, corresponding class method of this request, also response of this action, both success and errors. For an example: successful request: http://example.com/api/users/1 Log should be looked something like this: { HttpStatus: 200, path: "api/users/1", method: "GET", clientIp: "0.0.0.0", accessToken: "XHGu6as5dajshdgau6i6asdjhgjhg", method: "UsersController.getUser", arguments: { id: 1 }, response: { user: { id: 1, username: "user123", email:
