        ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        jaxbJacksonObjectMapper.writeValue(out, httpResponse.getBody());
        logger.info(new String(out.toByteArray()));

Looks like you changed something else, e.g. in the EmployeeSearchService

can you add some unit test like this and commit it thanks;

@Secured("ROLE_REST_HTTP_USER")
    public Message<EmployeeList> getEmployee(Message<?> inMessage){

        EmployeeList employeeList = new EmployeeList();
        Map<String, Object> responseHeaderMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();


        try{
            Employee expl=(Employee)inMessage.getPayload();
            employeeList.getEmployee().add(expl);
            MessageHeaders headers = inMessage.getHeaders();
            String id = (String)headers.get("employeeId");
            boolean isFound;
            if (id.equals("1")){
                employeeList.getEmployee().add(new Employee(1, "John", "Doe"));
                isFound = true;
            }else if (id.equals("2")){
                employeeList.getEmployee().add(new Employee(2, "Jane", "Doe"));
                isFound = true;
            }else if (id.equals("0")){
                employeeList.getEmployee().add(new Employee(1, "John", "Doe"));
                employeeList.getEmployee().add(new Employee(2, "Jane", "Doe"));             
                isFound = true;
            }else{              
                isFound = false;
            }           
            if (isFound){
                setReturnStatusAndMessage("0", "Success", employeeList, responseHeaderMap);
            }else{
                setReturnStatusAndMessage("2", "Employee Not Found", employeeList, responseHeaderMap);                              
            }

        }catch (Throwable e){

            setReturnStatusAndMessage("1", "System Error", employeeList, responseHeaderMap);
            logger.error("System error occured :"+e);
        }
        Message<EmployeeList> message = new GenericMessage<EmployeeList>(employeeList, responseHeaderMap);
        return message;     
    }

Do you mean this:

 Employee expl=(Employee)inMessage.getPayload();
 employeeList.getEmployee().add(expl);

?
What is your point? Just to check that we can transfer request object to response?
Although I don't see concern to add it to the sample, but there is need to understand the goal.

Thanks

i want send object (json) by post method and add to list and get list (json);
when i test it .both in unit test and using rest-client plugin response in failed and empty .
when i trace see that object have in payload but return message failed.
thanks

Strange: it works for me again:

09:50:11.714 INFO [main][org.springframework.integration.samples.rest.RestHttpClientTest] Return Status :[0]
09:50:11.715 INFO [main][org.springframework.integration.samples.rest.RestHttpClientTest] Return Status Message :[Success]
09:50:11.735 INFO [main][org.springframework.integration.samples.rest.RestHttpClientTest] {"employee":[{"employeeId":1,"fname":"ali","lname":"azizkhani"},{"employeeId":1,"fname":"John","lname":"Doe"},{"employeeId":2,"fname":"Jane","lname":"Doe"}],"returnStatus":"0","returnStatusMsg":"Success"}

Or you are using some old SAMPLES version, or I am wrong that test it against my Gradle branch.

I think we will add your tweaks to this sample, but already after we commit Gradle migration.

What might cause the issue, that I use Gradle and its Jetty pluging, but Maven sample uses Tomcat pluging.

As the conclusion: all your modifications are correct and have the right to life

i am using tomcat & maven

i think this is cause when i remove xml in negotiation and remove marshaler ;
i want to get json just why when i remove it this happen

[artembilan]

Well, does it say that you haven't shown entire changes to the sample?
Can you do it now?
