REST service request - response

The response of a REST webservice can be declared as a certain type. JAX-B is used to convert the response object into XML or JSON. In nevisAuth, we use MoXy as JAX-B provider.

The following code extract provides a request/response example:

Generate/send a TAN with GET:

> GET /nevisauth/tan/[email protected] HTTP/1.1
> Accept: /

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Length: 116
< Content-Type: application/xml
< Server: Jetty(7.6.8.v20121106)
<
<<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><tan-result><status>success</status><challenge>LCUFEB</challenge></tan-result>

The same with JSON:

> GET /nevisauth/tan/[email protected] HTTP/1.1
> Accept: application/json

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Length: 41
< Content-Type: application/json
< Server: Jetty(7.6.8.v20121106)
<
< {"status":"success","challenge":"FQBOJT"}

Or with a POST:

> POST /nevisauth/tan/generate HTTP/1.1
> Accept: application/json
> Content-Length: 21
> Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Content-Length: 41
< Content-Type: application/json
< Server: Jetty(7.6.8.v20121106)
<
< {"status":"success","challenge":"NAIXZA"}
