Getting a list of mobility service providers that can transport a traveller from a pickup location to a drop location (Java)
In this use case, the user searches for mobility service providers that offer their service from a pickup location to a drop location
Code snippets
Client calls the BAP server to trigger search:
@PostMapping("/mobility/search_by_pickup_drop_location")
public ResponseEntity searchByPickupDropLocation(
@RequestHeader HttpHeaders headers,
@RequestBody ClientSearchRequest request) {
var response = bapApplicationService.generateSearchRequest(request, headers);
return ResponseEntity.ok(response);
}
BAP server generates the protocol request body

public Response generateSearchRequest(ClientSearchRequest request, HttpHeaders headers) {
var messageId = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
// Check and create transaction id if not passed
var txnId = StringUtils.hasText(request.getTransactionId())
? request.getTransactionId()
: UUID.randomUUID().toString();
// Construct the request similar to the example given above
var context = Context.builder().domain(request.getDomain())

var searchRequest = SearchRequest.builder()
.context(context)
.message(SearchMessage.builder()
.intent(intentBuilder.build()).build()).build();
return invokeSearch(searchRequest, headers);
}
}
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);
//Call BPP Search api
var searchResponse = apiClient.post(url[0] + Context.ActionEnum.search,
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
