Receiver REST - Form-Data

[Former Member]

I  need to call a REST service that accepts only form-data . In POSTMAN, I am able to to call the service by using the POST operation, entering the service end point , and in the BODY tab, I select "form-data" and pass the values to the key that the service expects . This service does not accept XML or JSON in the Request body .

How do I configure this in the Receiver REST adapter?

Hello,

AFAIK, Rest Adapter is capable to use Media types only application/json and application/xml

anyway, you can try like below

i wonder if that works, please let us know...also you please check with SAP if they corrected in latest Service pack.

Thanks for your suggestion . I resolved it using a Java map by passing the input as a simple string.

Simple java map , construct the request as a  String and write it to the OutputStream. Map it to any dummy message type.

Also, in the REST Receiver need to configure Content-Type as application/x-www-form-urlencoded . But simply setting in the Header fields didnt work.

Using your suggestion,  set it using MTB Transform.ContentType parameter. And that worked, thanks.. Seems like a bug in the Receiver REST adapter.

Hello Dev Noronha,

I'm working with this scenario. Is that possible to share the output string, because my string format didn't work (String: FieldName=Value....).

Regards.
