Activti-REST - calling via Apache http client

[shrey]

Hi,

I have been facing 403 exception while using [Spring Rest template + Apache httpClient] to call REST api.  –> rest class.txt
The same call works if I use Spring Rest template + common httpClient. –> rest class - commons.txt

Please find class attached for source code.
Can you please help me understand the difference that may cause the issue?

Thanks,
Shrey

I don't see any specific code line that would make a difference. I don't think it's the Activiti API causing this issue though, but some faulty REST client call.

Best regards,

There no change in the rest call once restTemplate Object is returned back.
e.g. Here is POST methods that is used . RestUtil.getRestTemplate() just gets the restTemplate back


<code>
public JSONObject post(String url, JSONObject payload,
   Map<String, String> uriMap) throws Exception {
  logger.info("Executing rest call to url: " + url + ", with payload"
    + payload.toString());
  RestTemplate restTemplate = RestUtil.getRestTemplate();
  HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
  headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
  headers.setAccept(Collections.singletonList(new MediaType(
    "application", "json")));
  HttpEntity<String> request = new HttpEntity<String>(payload.toJSONString(), headers);
  ResponseEntity<String> responseEntity = null;
  if (uriMap != null) {
   responseEntity = restTemplate.postForEntity(url, request,
     String.class, uriMap);
  } else {
   responseEntity = restTemplate.postForEntity(url, request,
     String.class);
  }
  logger.debug("Response Status Code: " + responseEntity.getStatusCode());
  String response = responseEntity.getBody();
  JSONObject wfResponse = null;
  try {
   Object jsonResponse = new JSONParser().parse(response);
   wfResponse = (JSONObject) jsonResponse;
   logger.debug(wfResponse.toJSONString());
  } catch (ParseException e) {
   logger.error(ExceptionUtils.getFullStackTrace(e));
   throw e;
  }
  logger.debug(wfResponse.toJSONString());
  return wfResponse;
}
