How to POST www-form-urlencoded body with talend httpService

[igorbeslic]

Hi everybody!

Can you help me, I would like to use standard

org.talend.sdk.component.api.service.http.HttpClient

to submit POST request to an endpoint.

I see example where body in JsonObject:

https://github.com/rmannibucau/components-sample/blob/master/servicenow/src/main/java/org/talend/com...

Is there way to configure HttpClient to post www-form-urlencoded parameters in request body.

Thank you very much!

Yes it is... I took closer look at

org.talend.sdk.component.runtime.manager.service.http.RequestParser#parse

and concluded my method could be like this

@Codec(encoder = {XWWWFormURLEncoder.class})
	@Request(method = "POST", path = "/o/oauth2/token")
	public Response<JsonObject> getAccessToken(
		@Header("Content-Type") String contentType,
		OAuthDataStore oAuthDataStore);

where I had to add own body encoder implementation.

Fortunately Talend has good documentation and fluent lambda style code so to figure out this wasn't trouble at all.
