Try passing values from Java Servlet to iPhone app using JSON

While I was invited to sync my company and created an iPhone app, I was wondering how to pass values between the web server and the iPhone app. At that time, it seems that JSON is used to pass the value! I learned that. So, as a result of various investigations, I was able to pass the value using JSON safely, so I will summarize it.

I am writing with the knowledge gained from new employee training & self-learning, so if there is something wrong or a better way, please comment ...

App to create

The screen looks like this. スクリーンショット 2020-05-12 22.47.32.png

The flow is like this. ① Click the "Get JSON" button and pass a random number to JavaServlet. (2) JavaServlet responds with JSON according to the received numerical value. ③ Swift converts the received JSON object and outputs the value to the screen.

The JSON obtained from JavaServlet is output in the part surrounded by the red frame. Also, implement everything in the local environment.

environment

Developed using Xcode and Eclipse.   When using JSON, I was at a loss with GSON or Jackson, but this time I used Jackson. I referred to the following for how to set up Jackson in Eclipse.  https://tech.pjin.jp/blog/2020/03/09/jackson_setup/

                let decoder = JSONDecoder()
                let json = try decoder.decode(StudentJson.self, from: data!)

                self.textId = json.id!
                self.textName = json.name!

                    nextVC.jsonId = self.textId
                    nextVC.jsonName = self.textName

            }catch{
                print(error)
                print("I got an error")

        })
        //Download started
        task.resume()
    }
    //JSON data structure
    struct  StudentJson: Codable {
        let id: String?
        let name: String?
    }

import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;

public class JsonBean {

    @JsonProperty("id")
    private String id;

    @JsonProperty("name")
    private String name;

    public void setId(String id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;

}

To see how JsonServlet works, we recommend the Talend API Tester, a Chrome extension! Talend API Tester

Summary

You can now communicate between the front end and the back end. Next, let's get on AWS.

In addition, I referred to many Qiita articles and books for this implementation.

It was a poor content, but thank you for reading!

Markdown notation is really easy to write.
