spring boot get request body

To make a GET request with a request body in Spring Boot, you can follow these steps:

  1. Define a Java class that represents the request body. This class should have private fields with corresponding getter and setter methods, as well as a no-argument constructor. Let's call this class "RequestBodyClass".

  2. In your controller class, annotate the method that handles the GET request with the @RequestMapping annotation. Specify the URL path for the request using the value attribute. For example:

@RequestMapping(value = "/example", method = RequestMethod.GET)
  1. Add the @RequestBody annotation before the parameter of the method that represents the request body. This parameter should be of type "RequestBodyClass". For example:
@RequestMapping(value = "/example", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<String> handleGetRequest(@RequestBody RequestBodyClass requestBody) {
    // Method implementation
}
  1. Inside the method, you can access the fields of the request body using the getter methods of the "RequestBodyClass" object. For example:
@RequestMapping(value = "/example", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ResponseEntity<String> handleGetRequest(@RequestBody RequestBodyClass requestBody) {
    String field1 = requestBody.getField1();
    // Access other fields and perform necessary operations
}

Note that making a GET request with a request body goes against the HTTP specification, which states that GET requests should not have a body. It's recommended to use POST or PUT requests for operations that require a request body. However, if you still need to send a GET request with a request body in Spring Boot, the steps mentioned above can be followed.
