Spring + Angular: How to parse ResponseEntity in angular? - spring

I'm using Spring Boot to create an API that needs to be consumed in Angular 4. Spring and Angular are on different ports.
The problem is that Spring's ResponseEntity raises an error in Angular.
#RequestMapping(value = "/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity getFlow(#PathVariable int id) {
Flow flow = flowService.findById(id);
return new ResponseEntity(flow, HttpStatus.FOUND);
}
Now, I can perfectly use Postman to test the API and it works.
But when I make a request from Angular, it returns an error:
Strangely, it returns an error alongside the requested object.
Now, the cause of the problem is that the Spring Boot application returns a ResponseEntity and not a normal object (like String), and Angular doesn't know how to interpret it. If the controller returns just a Flow object, it works.
How can it be solved using ResponseEntity? Or, how else can I send the object alongside the HTTP status code?

Also, in #RequestMapping put produces = "application/json", and in get request in angular, add http options :
const httpOptions = {
headers: new HttpHeaders({
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
})
};
So your get request looks like this:
this.http.get(url, httpOptions)

As per the document mentioned here
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http
A response status code between 200 and 299 is considered a success status and will result in the success callback being called. Any response status code outside of that range is considered an error status and will result in the error callback being called. Also, status codes less than -1 are normalized to zero. -1 usually means the request was aborted, e.g. using a config.timeout. Note that if the response is a redirect, XMLHttpRequest will transparently follow it, meaning that the outcome (success or error) will be determined by the final response status code.
As you are sending an instance of ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.Found) whose Http status code is 302 which doesnt fall under the success range thats why error callback is called.

Try returning the content like this
return new ResponseEntity(flow, HttpStatus.OK);

RestController PutMapping malformed url when using "[]"

I have a Spring App witch use a controller like this:
#PutMapping("/block/{blockid}/service/{serviceid}")
public ResponseEntity<String> config(#PathVariable blockid, #PathVariable serviceid, #RequestBody String body) {
{
And I using Postman to test the request, if i send this request to this url:
url: localhost:7000/block/myBlockTest/service/externalServiceTest[0]
Response this error:
Description The server cannot or will not process the
request due to something that is perceived to be a client error
(e.g., malformed request syntax, invalid request message framing, or
deceptive request routing).
I know the problem is "[0]" in the url.
Is there any way I can send this in the URL ?
Thanks.
OK, I just need modify the request to be localhost:7000/block/myBlockTest/service/externalServiceTest%5B0%5D
Special parameters.

POST request doesn't get response from server in chrome but work in postman

I'am making a POST request to spring boot endpoint and wanna get data return from server.With testing my API in Postman,it works good.but when testing it in
chrome,it doesn't even get a response and chrome NETWORK bar even did't have record.
so code is simple,I can't find any problem,RestController
#PostMapping("/signup")
public User signup(#RequestBody ModelUser user){
//fetch data from DTO and craft a user
User userData=user.adapter();
//...code here omit for sake of brevity
return userData;
}
it indeed get data from ajax,when I use logger(slf4j) to debug.
and ajax:
$("#sign-up").submit(function () {
var userInfo={}
userInfo["phone"]=$("#phone").val()
userInfo["password"]=$("#password").val()
$.ajax({
//ajax successful send to spring boot endpoint
type:"POST",
contentType:"application/json",
url:"http://localhost:8080/signup",
data:JSON.stringify(userInfo)
}).then(
function(){
//this doesn't print in console
console.log("Hello Callback is executed")
}
)
})
weird as it is,I never encounter this when I use GET request,since ajax callback is successfully called when I use GET to test a GetMapping endpoint.
oh,with lots of similar questions
AJAX POST request working in POSTMAN but not in Chrome
Angular 4 POST call to php API fails, but GET request work and POST requests work from Postman
POST response arrives in Postman, but not via Ajax?
I don't get any response status code in chrome and completely not involved CORS in question
Have you tried adding a consumes and produces media type of Json in the Java
#PostMapping(path="/signup", consumes=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
And explicitly set the Accept header in the javascript
$.ajax({
//ajax successful send to spring boot endpoint
type:"POST",
headers: {Accept : "application/json"},
contentType:"application/json",
url:"http://localhost:8080/signup",
data:JSON.stringify(userInfo)
})
I'am sorry for my poor front end skill,the main reason is that I don't understand Javascript event.
$("#sign-up").submit(function (e) {
//e.preventDefault();
var user={};
user["phone"]="187308";
user["name"]="icywater";
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
contentType:'application/json',
data:JSON.stringify(user),
url:"http://localhost:8080/test"
}).done(function(data){
console.log("Hello Callback is executed");
console.log(data)
});
});
here when I click submit It actually already submit the form and don't wait ajax code to be executed,so I should use e.preventDefault()to suppress default behavior.It's nothing
related about POST or postman ,it is about the form submit default behavior,ahh,Oolong event.
I got it when I found this page

Axios AJAX call nulls parameter

I use Vuejs to create my frontend for my project.
At the creation of one component ('TimeCapsy.vue'), I make an AJAX call to my backend like this:
created: function () {
if (verify.verify_login()) {
let token = this.$cookies.get('jwt_us_cas');
let params = {'jwt': token};
console.log(params);
axios({
method: 'post',
url: dev.HOST+'getuserinfoobject',
params: queryString.stringify(params)
})
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data)
})
}
}
As you can see I use the
this.$cookies.get('jwt_us_cas');
to get the a json web token, that I set on the client at the login.
I use the queryString Library to stringify my parameters for my request.
I also tried it without the queryString.stringify(params) call, but I get the same error, e.g. the parameter still turns into null.
When I look at the console log, where I check the params variable, I get this output:
{jwt: "my token comes here"}
So I can see, that it gets the correct value from the cookie.
But when I check the answer from my backend (PHP), I get this error:
Undefined index: jwt in <b>D:\casb\public\index.php</b> on line <b>52</b>
Of course I know that it means, that jwt is null, but I can't understand why.
As I said, right before I make the call I check the params and it shows the token.
I checked the endpoint with Postman and the token as the jwt parameter and it returned a successfull call with the correct answer.
A correct answer is basically just a nested object with some information in it.
My PHP endpoint is pretty basic too:
Router::add('/getuserinfoobject', function () {
$response['response'] = User::getUserInfoObject($_POST['jwt']);
echo json_encode($response);
}, 'post');
So I guess that right before or in my call it nulls my parameter. But I can't understand how, since I make a lot of requests and never had this problem.
From axios docs
params are the URL parameters to be sent with the request
Which means, you should get the value with PHP $_GET.
Or $_REQUEST (which stores both $_GET, $_POST. Also $_COOKIE).
The other hand, you can use data key as docs says
data is the data to be sent as the request body
Only applicable for request methods PUT, POST, and PATCH
So the value would be available in $_POST
axios({
method: 'post',
url: dev.HOST+'getuserinfoobject',
data: {
jwt: token
}
})

Making jQuery $.ajax call to Twitter API 1.1 search

Here is a very simple example of a call to Twitter's search API to get all tweets from a tag known to have tweets, #fml.
I believe I am correctly using the application-only authentication as explained here: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/auth/application-only-auth (see Step 3 for example of a call)
I am being asked for a solution that does not involve any server-side code so I am including the bearer code in the javascript, which isn't good to begin with, but....
I would expect this code to work. Instead it produces the error '400 (Bad Request)'. Any ideas?
$.ajax({
url: "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json",
dataType: "jsonp",
data: "q=%23fml",
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader ("Authorization", "Bearer XXmyBearerCodeXX");
},
success: function(json){ alert(json); }
});
EDIT 1 - Validated Twitter call
Using hurl.eu I was able to get a successful response from the API with the above query and Authorization header, so I assume this means my Twitter call is correct, just not set up correctly within jQuery.ajax(), but I just don't see what is missing.
You cannot set request headers using AJAX calls with dataType JSONP.
See this question: Set Headers with jQuery.ajax and JSONP?
The best solution is to use a server-side proxy to do the search for you. I know you are looking for a client only solution, but with this restriction, and with no way around CORS, this is how it seems to be done today for the Twitter API.
Edit It may be possible using a proxy like Yahoo's YQL if you don't have access to one.
on your severside create a jsp or servlet and from the client side make a JSON call to the .jsp/servlet and that will return back the json object to the javascript. In serverside use the twitter4j api.
sample code:
`
$.getJSON(http://localhost:8080/test.jsp?callback=?",
{
jspqueryStr : queryStr,
jspgeocodeStr : geocodeStr,
lat:latStr,
lan:lngStr,
radius:radiusStr,
}, displayResult);
//This function returns the data as json object from server.
function displayResult(data) {}
In the jsp the code is like below
<%
String jspqueryStr = request.getParameter("jspqueryStr");
String jspgeocodeStr = request.getParameter("jspgeocodeStr");
String diseasename = request.getParameter("jspqueryStr");
String lat = request.getParameter("lat");
String lan = request.getParameter("lan");
String radius = request.getParameter("radius");
Gson gson = new Gson();
String json = gson.toJson(tweetList);
json = request.getParameter("callback") + "(" + json + ");";
out.println(json);
public List<Status> searchstream(){
//here all the twitter4j api code to get the data
retrun tweetList;
}
%>

Spring 2.5.4 return a integer on ajax request

I am working on a spring 2.5.4 project, where I need to get an ajax response that returns a integer value on ajax request. Is there is some way I can do it?
For now, I believe all ajax calls either returns a page or a part of page.
The sample code I am using for ajax request with prototype is as follows,
var ajaxSourceTable = new Ajax.Request(
'../fetch/timeout.html?ajax=true',
{ method:'post',
parameters:{},
onSuccess:function(t){
/*alert time out here*/
alert(t.responseText);
},
onFailure:function(t){
alert("Request failed ! Please report the issue : "+t.responseText);
}
}
);
Your ../fetch/timeout.html?ajax=true has to return the single value. You should rather write a controller for that which return text/plain or application/json with the data in the response body.
