I am building a REST service on Spring 3.1. I am using @EnableWebMVC annotation for that. Since my service will only be accepting JSON requests, I would also like to dump the incoming request into a MongoDB collection for logging (and, later, for data transformation). I would like to access the raw JSON Request (which I could do on a non-spring implementation using "@Content HttpServletRequest request" as a method parameter).
I am a Spring newbie. So, kindly help me with directions to achieve this. Thanks!
UPDATE: The issue is not completely resolved. Only my tests with GET worked. It fails with POST. Therefore unchecked the accepted answer
The issue is, even if I create a HttpServletRequestWrapper, I cannot forward the request after I process and wrap the request. Here is what happens:
Interceptor:
public class DBLogInterceptor extends HandlerInterceptorAdapter {
MyRequestWrapper requestWrapper;
private final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DBLogInterceptor.class);
@Override
public boolean preHandle(
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response,
Object handler) throws Exception
{
requestWrapper = new MyRequestWrapper(request);
// Code removed, but it just dumps requestWrapper.getBody() into DB
return super.preHandle(requestWrapper, response, handler);
}
}
HTTP POST Servicing method
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes="application/json", produces="application/json", value = "employee")
@ResponseBody
public String updateEntity(@RequestBody Employee emp) {
// Do some DB Stuff. Anyway, the control flow does not reach this place.
return "Employee " + emp.getName() + " updated successfully!";
}
Now I get an exception whenever I send a POST:
12:04:53,821 DEBUG DBLogInterceptor:22 - {"name":"Van Damme","dept":"Applied Martial Arts"}
12:04:53,843 DEBUG RequestResponseBodyMethodProcessor:117 - Reading [com.test.webapp.login.domain.Employee] as "application/json" using [org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter@154174f9]

I expected the HttpServletRequestWrapper
to be taking care of caching the request. But it doesn't happen somehow.
