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.

Search

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

    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);

        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
