How to POST data using API in Postman - spring

Question

I am creating an API by using spring boot. Basically, this API does CRUD operations. And also I created a client that consumes my own API. At first I use Postman to POST data, it successfully insert data to the database and gives me 200 OK code. Then I created web page and I use my API as form action. Then I tried to insert data using the API. But, couldn't. Then I removed #RequestBody from the method and after that I was able to insert data. But the thing is now I can't insert data using Postman. When I try to insert data using Postman, it gives me 200 OK, but nothing insert to the database.
How can I Fix this ??

Answer 1

In one of your #Configuration classes or #EnableAutoConfiguration class create a bean of CommonsRequestLoggingFilter, paste the code. This will log every incoming request
#Bean
public CommonsRequestLoggingFilter logFilter() {
CommonsRequestLoggingFilter filter
= new CommonsRequestLoggingFilter();
filter.setIncludeQueryString(true);
filter.setIncludePayload(true);
filter.setMaxPayloadLength(10000);
filter.setIncludeHeaders(false);
filter.setAfterMessagePrefix("REQUEST DATA : ");
return filter;
}
And in your application.properties file set logging level to DEBUG using logging.level.org.springframework.web.filter.CommonsRequestLoggingFilter=
DEBUG
All set! now call your endpoint from the WEB/Postman and check if you find the missing piece.

You need to use #RequestBody :
#RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.POST, value="/tasks")
public ImModel createNote(#RequestBody ImModel note) {
return TaskRepository.save(note);
}

Answer 3

use the code written below.You need to add #RequestBody before ImModel note
#RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.POST, value="/tasks")
public ImModel createNote(#RequestBody ImModel note) {
return TaskRepository.save(note);
}
