RestService and RestTemplate
My Spiring RestService delete method has signature :
public ResponseEntity<?> delete(@RequestBody List<Long> IdList)
Question :
I am making a client code and trying to send list of long id's to my above service with the help of RestTemplate delete . But it seems RestTemplate delete method does not accept list of long ids . How to fix this ?
Here is the client code:
RestTemplate.delete("/bsi/
Is there any way to send list of long ids to delete method ?
public ResponseEntity<?> delete(@RequestBody List<Long> IdList)

This is because the HTTP DELETE method is generally not used with a request body at all, and so RestTemplate has no methods for passing any body content.
So the options are to just hack together a solution. It's probably easier but is less "RESTful" (that may or may not be important to you). Or if you are trying to adhere to the REST ideals, I would go with the idea of creating a new resource (i.e. with a POST call), and the resource is actually a list (or selection) of other resources. The server creates this list and then returns a generated id for this new list resource. Then you can DELETE this resource and it will delete the resources specified in the list. The source of the idea and other useful info is here.
