title: Implementing POST Method to insert data in MYSQL database using RESTFul web service
body: <p>I am trying to implement POST method using restful web service using jersey and  Postman for rest client in java. Now I am unable to insert data into the database using post method. I have table in mysql database name person which has 3 fields. id(primary key,auto increment), firstname, lastname. I made there java classes one is person as model class and PersonResource class for declaring REST api and PersonService for implementing REST method to make crud operation.</p>
  
  <pre><code>   PersonResource class is:
  
          @Path("/person")
          public class PersonResource {
              DbConnection connect=new DbConnection();
              Connection conn=null;
  
              PersonService service=new PersonService();
  
              @POST 
              @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)// specifies the request body content
              @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
              public Person addMessage(Person person) throws Exception{
              return service.addMessage(person);
          }
          }   
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>PersonService class is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        public class PersonService {
  
              DbConnection connect=new DbConnection();
              Connection conn=null;
  
              public Person addMessage(Person person) throws Exception {
  
              Person p=new Person();
              String sql="insert into person (firstname,lastname) values(?,?)";
              conn=connect.databaseConnection();
              PreparedStatement pst=conn.prepareStatement(sql);
                  pst.setString(1,p.getFirstName());
                  pst.setString(2,p.getLastName());   
                  pst.executeUpdate();
                  pst.close();
                  return person;
          }
          }
  </code></pre>
