How to get STRING response from RestTemplate postForLocation?

java, rest, spring

Solution

Thanks to one of answers i've figured out how get the response from a POST with Spring by using the postForObject

String result = restTemplate.postForObject(API_URL + "account/authenticate/?email="+ AUTH_USER +"&token="+ AUTH_PASS, null, String.class);

For some reason i can't use arguments with MAP and have to put them inline in URL. But that's fine for me.

Problem

I'm creating a REST Client in Java with RestTemplate from Spring Framework. Everything is fine until i have to do a post with postForLocation. The webservice i'm having access return a json with informations about the POST ACTION. In PHP it's fine but i really don't understand how to do in Java with RestTemplate. ``` public String doLogin() { Map<String, String> args = new HashMap<String, String>(); args.put("email", AUTH_USER); args.put("token", AUTH_PASS); String result = restTemplate.postForLocation(API_URL + "account/authenticate/?email={email}&token={token}", String.class, args); return result; } ``` This returns NULL. With same code but using getForObject (and of course, changing the URL to something right) I have a full response, i.e. this works: `String result = restTemplate.getForObject(url, String.class);` So... how get the RESPONSE from a postForLocation? Obs.: Sorry if this question is dumb. I'm beginner in Java
