question: how to do a regular post like a web form

[gpinkham]

I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong here..

I'm calling an API that is out of my control and is written in Cold Fusion (shiver). When I send the request like this:

    def resp = rest.post("${baseUrl}/rest/v1/ValidateUser") {
      accept MediaType.ALL.toString(), MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON.toString()
      body StudyId: studyId, siteId: siteId, UN: username,  PW: password

I get a 500 returned and the CF develop said I didn't post/submit any form variables.. his unit test work fine (both using cold fusion to call it and posting standard web based html forms).... Hence my guessing this isn't doing a form post.. Seems like it's just sending a body full of JSON text..

DEBUG client.RestTemplate  - Writing [{StudyId=xxx, siteId=xxxx, UN=sxxxx, PW=xxxxx}] using [org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter@5c30cf7d]

Thanks!!!!

ok.. figured this out.. dug deeper into the code than I did last time.. changed it to this and now it accepts the post...

    def resp = rest.post("${baseUrl}/rest/v1/ValidateUser") {
      accept MediaType.ALL.toString(), MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON.toString()
      setProperty('StudyId',studyId)
      setProperty('siteId',siteId)
      setProperty('UN',username)
      setProperty('PW',password)
    }
