Oracle MAF-MCS API call

I have created a custom POST api for getting login information in MCS. when i check in SOAPUI it works perfectly fine. the parameters passed are

1. header   
Oracle-Mobile-Backend-Id: ********************
2. Authentocation
Username:****************
password: **************

and basic login info username and password as "User1" and "user1" respectively.

Step2:

when i call the API from MAF i am getting an error 400 the post method used is

    public static Response callPost(String restURI, String jsonRequest) {
    String responseJson = "";
    Response response = new Response();

    RestServiceAdapter restServiceAdapter = Model.createRestServiceAdapter();
    restServiceAdapter.clearRequestProperties();
    //restServiceAdapter.setConnectionName("MiddlewareAPI");
   // restServiceAdapter.setConnectionName("");


    restServiceAdapter.setRequestType(RestServiceAdapter.REQUEST_TYPE_POST);
    restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
    restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json; charset=UTF-8");
    restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Oracle-Mobile-Backend-Id", "**********");
    restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Domain", "mcsdem0001");


    restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Username", "******");
    restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Password", "*****");
    //restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "+new String(encodedBytes));
    System.out.println("**** Authorization String ****=>"+new String(encodedBytes));
    System.out.println("**** RestURI ******=>"+restURI);
    System.out.println("**** jsonRequest ******=>"+jsonRequest);

    restServiceAdapter.setRequestURI(restURI);
    restServiceAdapter.setRetryLimit(0);

    try {
        responseJson = restServiceAdapter.send(jsonRequest);
        int responseCode = restServiceAdapter.getResponseStatus();
        response.setResponseCode(responseCode);
        response.setResponseMessage(responseJson);
        response.setHeader(restServiceAdapter.getResponseHeaders());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        int responseCode = restServiceAdapter.getResponseStatus();
        response.setResponseCode(responseCode);
        response.setResponseMessage(responseJson);
    }
    System.out.println("Response:" + responseJson);

    return response;
}

Could anyone please tell me is there any error in the post method??

This can be due to the version conflict. Try to use HttpUrlConnection instead of RestServiceAdapter and let me know if it works.

actually this bit

restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Username", "******"); restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Password", "*****");

doesn't work because you attempt to pass username and password as a HTTP header. Instead it should be passed as you were trying here

restServiceAdapter.addRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic "+new String(encodedBytes));

However, these should not be encoded bytes but a base64 encoded string in the form

Basis (without the < abd >)

Note that user identity domains only need to be provided in multi-tenant environments. In MCS, the user domain is defined through the mobile backend you connect to.

Use the MAF MCS Utility library to make it allot easier. The developer guide can be found here: http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/maf/mafmcsutility-api-doc-082015.pdf

Example code:

MBEConfiguration mbeConfiguration = 
    new MBEConfiguration(
          <mbe rest connection>,<mobileBackendId>,
          <anonymous key string>,<application key string>, 
          MBEConfiguration.AuthenticationType.BASIC_AUTH);
 mbeConfiguration.setEnableAnalytics(true);
 mbeConfiguration.setLoggingEnabled(false)
 mbeConfiguration.setMobileDeviceId(
         DeviceManagerFactory.getDeviceManager().getName());
 MBE mobileBackend = MBEManager.getManager().
         createOrRenewMobileBackend(<mobile backend Id>, mbeConfiguration);

CustomAPI customApiProxy = mbe.getServiceProxyCustomApi();
MCSRequest request = new MCSRequest(mobileBackend.getMbeConfiguration());

request.setConnectionName(<Rest connection name>);
request.setRequestURI("/moile/custom/mockup/employees");
request.setHttpMethod(MCSRequest.HttpMethod.POST);
request.setPayload("{\"id\":\"1\"\"name\":\"nimphius\",\"firstName\":\"frank\"}");
request.setRetryLimit(0);
HashMap<String, String> headers = new HashMap<String, String>();
headers.put("Content-Type","application/json");
request.setHttpHeaders(headers);
MCSResponse response = customApiProxy .sendForStringResponse(request);
String jsonResponse = (String) response.getMessage();
