How do I access the HTTP request?

Question

Say normally I have a REST method in Java

@POST      @Path("/test")     @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)     public String showTime(@FormParam("username") String userName) {  : : : } 

which is fine. However, I'm wondering is there a way I can access the full HTTP request with Jersey such as

@POST      @Path("/test")     @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)     public String showTime(@FormParam("username") String userName,@XXXXXX String httpRequest) {  : : : } 

where some annotation would give me the full HTTP request to store in a variable. I have tried using @POST but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use the @Context annotation:

@POST  @Path("/test") @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) public String showTime(     @FormParam("username") String userName,     @Context HttpServletRequest httpRequest ) {     // The method body }

If you want to get the request body, you could use the tip lined out in this post: How to get full REST request body using Jersey?

If you need to know more about the request itself, you could try the @Context annotation as mentioned by sdorra.
