Searching by pickup and drop location of a package and receiving list of delivery service options (Java)
In this use case, the user searches for delivery services by specifying some details about the package, where it needs to be picked up from and dropped. As a result, the user sees a list of available delivery options to choose from and some associated costs involved.
Code snippets
Client calls the BAP server to trigger search:
@PostMapping("/delivery/search_by_pickup_and_drop_location")
public ResponseEntity searchByPickupDrop(
@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

// 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);

"NACK".equals(responseEntity.getBody().getMessage().getAck().getStatus())) {
// Return custom error to the client
return null;
}
return searchResponse.getBody();
}
BAP receives protocol on_search
