RESTful table javabean->json conversion doesnt work

[Arthur]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the aui-restful table working for my gadget plugin, to have a nice ui.

Unfortunately I found out that my @POST-annotated create() methods provided Javabean parameter is always empty.

This is my ajs.restfulTable part of config.js where the AUI table is set up:

new AJS.RestfulTable({
        autoFocus: true,
        el: jQuery("#config-fields-table"),
        allowReorder: true,
        resources: {
            all: baseUrl +"/rest/otrs-config/1.0/alltickets",
            self: baseUrl +"/rest/otrs-config/1.0/ticketfield"
        },
        columns: [
        {
            id: "fieldname",
            header: AJS.I18n.getText("common.words.name")
        },
        {
            id: "colname",
            header: AJS.I18n.getText("common.words.description")
        }
        ]
    });

And here is the Serverside Java Beanclass:

@XmlRootElement
    @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
    public static final class TicketField {

        @XmlElement
        private Integer id = 0;
        @XmlElement
        private String fieldname = "";
        @XmlElement
        private String colname = "";

        public String getColname() {
            return colname;
        }

        public void setColname(String colname) {
            this.colname = colname;
        }

        public String getFieldname() {
            return fieldname;
        }

        public void setFieldname(String fieldname) {
            this.fieldname = fieldname;
        }

        public Integer getId() {
            return id;
        }

        public void setId(Integer id) {
            this.id = id;
        }
        
        @Override
        public String toString(){
            return "id: "+id+" fieldname: "+fieldname+" colname: "+colname ;
        }
    }

...and finally the create() Method:

@POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public Response create(final TicketField bean) {

        logger.error("created ticketfield:"+bean);

        return Response.ok(transactionTemplate.execute(new TransactionCallback() {

            @Override
            public Object doInTransaction() {
                PluginSettings settings = pluginSettingsFactory.createGlobalSettings();
                List<TicketField> fields = findAllTicketFields();

                bean.setId(createTicketFieldID());
                if (fields.contains(bean) == false) {
                    fields.add(bean);
                }

                settings.put(fieldsListKey, fields);
                return bean;

            }
        })).build();
    }

Does anyone see what am I doing wrong??

Thanks in advance

I found the answer, and it's disappointing: The post request is empty!! https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/173421/restful-table-post-request-is-empty

Maybe I should show you the response of a GET /ticket/id Request:

Instead of something like '[{"id": 1, "colname": "age", "fieldname": "Age"}]'

I get something like '["de.package.path.to.resource.class.TicketResource@TicketField_345234sdf"]'

Try to change

public static final class TicketField

to

public class TicketField

[Arthur]

why should I change this? I have many other REST classes that are marked as final, and it works with them. And in the official Documentation, the classes are also marked as final. see https://developer.atlassian.com/display/AUI/RESTful+Table

Forgot to mention the output of the log-statement:

" /rest/otrs-config/1.0/ticketfield [acocon.jira.otrs.rest.TicketFieldsResource] created ticketfield:id: 0 fieldname: colname: "
