POUsing json with Play 2
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to create a simple application that allows me to create, read, update and delete various users. I have a basic UI-based view, controller and model that work, but wanted to be more advanced than this and provide a RESTful json interface.</p> <p>However, despite reading everything I can find in the Play 2 documentation, the Play 2 Google groups and the stackoverflow website, I still can't get this to work. </p> <p>I've updated my controller based on previous feedback and I now believe it is based on the documentation.</p> <p>Here is my updated controller:</p> <pre><code>package controllers; import models.Member; import play.*; import play.mvc.*; import play.libs.Json; import play.data.Form; public class Api extends Controller { /* Return member info - version to serve Json response */ public static Result member(Long id){ ObjectNode result = Json.newObject(); Member member = Member.byid(id); result.put("id", member.id); result.put("email", member.email); result.put("name", member.name); return ok(result); } // Create a new body parser of class Json based on the values sent in the POST @BodyParser.Of(Json.class) public static Result createMember() { JsonNode json = request().body().asJson(); // Check that we have a valid email address (that's all we need!) String email = json.findPath("email").getTextValue(); if(name == null) { return badRequest("Missing parameter [email]"); } else { // Use the model's createMember class now Member.createMember(json); return ok("Hello " + name); } } .... </code></pre> <p>But when I run this, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>incompatible types [found: java.lang.Class<play.libs.Json>] [required: java.lang.Class<?extends play.mvc.BodyParser>] In /Users/Mark/Development/EclipseWorkspace/ms-loyally/loyally/app/controllers/Api.java at line 42. 41 // Create a new body parser of class Json based on the values sent in the POST 42 @BodyParser.Of(Json.class) 43 public static Result createMember() { 44 JsonNode json = request().body().asJson(); 45 // Check that we have a valid email address (that's all we need!) 46 String email = json.findPath("email").getTextValue(); </code></pre> <p>As far as I can tell, I've copied from the <a href="http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0.1/JavaJsonRequests" rel="nofollow">documentation</a> so I would appreciate any help in getting this working.</p>
