REST API Java client for B2BAPIs - How to make JSON input for complex data types

Abstract

REST API Java client for B2BAPIs - How to make JSON input for complex data types

Body

If you are looking to implement Java based REST API Client to invoke B2B APIs, my previous articles would help you. These include working java (REST API Client) classes for 2 of the APIs.

REST API Proof Of Concept - Automate Sterling FileGateway Community and Trading Partner creation 

REST API Client - upload message to Sterling B2B Integrator Mailbox 

 

These articles covered how to generate JSON input string for primitive data type based parameters. I never used complex data types in previous articles as they were not needed there. I am going to provide sample code here for complex data types such as Collection Set.

 

Like previous articles, this one too targeted for Java coders.

                                        net.sf.json.JSONObject obj = new net.sf.json.JSONObject();
                                        obj.put("nodeName", "NODE1");

                                        jsonArray.add(obj);

                                        obj = new net.sf.json.JSONObject();
                                        obj.put("nodeName", "NODE2");

                                       nodeJson.put("netMapName", netmap);
                                       nodeJson.put("nodes", nodes);
