We can also write Bean Shell code. Here's a quick sample code to make HTTP get call.
Code Block language java title Bean Shell code to make restful API calls sample linenumbers true import org.apache.http.HttpResponse; import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpGet; import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpRequestBase; import org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient; import org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients; import java.io.IOException; import org.joget.commons.util.LogUtil; CloseableHttpClient client = null; HttpRequestBase request = null; try{ String jsonUrl = "http://localhost:8080/jw/web/json/workflow/assignment/list/count?packageId=crm"; //sample url String name = "header1"; String value = "value1"; CloseableHttpClient client = null; CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.createDefault(); HttpRequestBase request = null; request = new HttpGet(jsonUrl); request.setHeader(name, value); HttpResponse response = client.execute(request); } catch (Exception ex) { LogUtil.error(getClass().getName(), ex, ""); } finally { try { if (request != null) { request.releaseConnection(); } if (client != null) { client.close(); } } catch (IOException ex) { LogUtil.error(getClass().getName(), ex, ""); } }
We can execute this piece of code from various plugin types giving us the flexibility on where/when we want to invoke it. The only disadvantage compared to the former is that we need to maintain the custom coding ourselves instead of configuring through a plugin. These are the plugin types relevant to our solution to call the code from:-
