Http POST from Spring Integration to MVC controller?

[Dr.Drane]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble figuring out how spring integration can communicate with a Spring MVC controller.

The basic "http" example just posts a "Hello" String to a server:

    <int:gateway id="requestGateway" 
                 service-interface="org.springframework.integration.samples.http.RequestGateway"
                 default-request-channel="requestChannel"/>
    
    <int:channel id="requestChannel"/>

    <int-http:outbound-gateway request-channel="requestChannel" 
                               url="http://localhost:8080/http/receiveGateway"
                               http-method="POST"
                               expected-response-type="java.lang.String"/> 

But how would a controller be able to catch this String? In html form posts there is an id (variable name) associated with the variable content, but not in this case.

Thanks a lot in advance!!

If you want to provide what is essentially "form data" to the HTTP server, then try passing a payload of type Map or MultiValueMap. Also you should set the content-type header (e.g. using the constant: MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED).

Hope that helps.

We actually have an example that demonstrates what Mark had described

Thanks a lot!
Got my controller picking up the requests smoothly now.
