com.avoka.tm.http

Provides HTTP Client classes using underlying Apache HTTP Components library. The example below performs REST request and returns a Path object.

import com.avoka.tm.http.\*
import com.avoka.tm.util.\*

Map params = \[:\]
params.id = request.getParameter('customerId')
params.account = request.getParameter('accountId')

String username = svcDef.paramsMap.username
String password = svcDef.paramsMap.password

// execute GET request and return a HttpResponse object
HttpResponse response = new GetRequest('https://service.mycorp.com/secure/rest/accounts/')
      .setParams(params)
      .setBasicAuth(username, password)
      .execute()

if (response.isStatusOK()) {
    // get JSON object from the response
    Path path = response.getPathContent()
    ...

} else if (response.isStatusNotFound()) {
    // object not found
    ...

} else {
    throw new RuntimeException(response.statusLine)
} 

The example below performs POST request and converts the response into a Path document.

 import com.avoka.tm.http.\*
 import com.avoka.tm.util.\*

 String message = '''{
     "name":"John Doe",
     "email":"john.doe@gmail.com",
     "age":42
  }'''

 String username = svcDef.paramsMap.username
 String password = svcDef.paramsMap.password

 // execute POST request and return a HttpResponse object
 HttpResponse response = new PostRequest('https://service.mycorp.com/secure/rest/accounts/')
       .setMessage(message)
       .setBasicAuth(username, password)
       .execute()

 // check HttpResponse status code
 if (!response.isStatusOK()) {
     throw new RuntimeException(response.statusLine)
 }

 // get Path object from the response
 Path path = response.getPathContent()
 ...
