How to read header parameters in JAX-RS restful web services?


In this page you can see an example to query http header info using @Context annotation and HttpHeaders.

In the previous examples we have given details of application setup, dependencies, web.xml file configurations: If you want to know about these configuration, please refer these:

Restful web services using RESTEasy hello world example.
Restful web services using Jersey hello world example.

package com.java2novice.restful;

import java.util.Set;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;
import javax.ws.rs.core.HttpHeaders;
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response;

@Path("/http-header")
public class HttpHeaderService {

	@GET
	@Path("query")
	public Response queryHeaderInfo(@Context HttpHeaders httpHeaders){
		
		/** how to get specific header info? **/
		String cacheControl = httpHeaders.getRequestHeader("Cache-Control").get(0);
		System.out.println("Cache-Control: "+cacheControl);
		/** get list of all header parameters from request **/
		Set<String> headerKeys = httpHeaders.getRequestHeaders().keySet();
		for(String header:headerKeys){
			System.out.println(header+":"+httpHeaders.getRequestHeader(header).get(0));
		}
		return Response.status(200).entity("successfully queried header info").build();
	} 
}

Test with "http://localhost:8080/RestfulWebServices/http-header/query" URL, here is the output:

Output:

Knowledge Centre
Interface and its usage
Interface is similar to a class which may contain method's signature only but not bodies and it is a formal set of method and constant declarations that must be defined by the class that implements it. Interfaces are useful for declaring methods that one or more classes are expected to implement, capturing similarities between unrelated classes without forcing a class relationship and determining an object's programming interface without revealing the actual body of the class.
Famous Quotations
We know what we are, but know not what we may be.
-- William Shakespeare
