Getting a list of mobility service providers around a traveller’s pickup location (Java)

In this use case, the user searches for nearby mobility service providers around the traveller’s pickup location

Search

Code snippets

Client calls the BAP server to trigger search:

    @PostMapping("/mobility/search_by_pickup_location")
    public ResponseEntity searchByPickupLocation(
            @RequestHeader HttpHeaders headers,
            @RequestBody ClientSearchRequest request) {
        var response = bapApplicationService.generateSearchRequest(request, headers);
        return ResponseEntity.ok(response);
    }

BAP server generates the protocol request body

BAP server calls protocol search to the network

    public Response invokeSearch(SearchRequest request, HttpHeaders headers) {

        // Call to look up function which returns the the public key and BPP/BG Endpoint to be called
        var url = lookUp(headers);

                constructRequestHeaders(),
                request,
                Response.class);

        if (responseEntity.getBody() == null || responseEntity.getBody().getError() != null ||
                "NACK".equals(responseEntity.getBody().getMessage().getAck().getStatus())) {
            // Return custom error to the client
            return null;
        }
        return searchResponse.getBody();
    }

BAP receives protocol on_search
