2x array POST request using Rest Assured based on the following JSON

Question

please help me to create the body request from the following output:

{
  "categoryIds": [
    [
      "4654-456465-4564",
      "4654-456465-9512"
    ]
  ],
  "lastUpdate": "1231",
  "controlStructureId": "4654-456465-4564",
  "controntrolId": "4654-456465-4564",
  "vehicleId": "4654-456465-4564"
}

My code:

 Map<String,Object> jsonBodyUsingMap = new HashMap<String,Object>();
        jsonBodyUsingMap.put("lastUpdate", "1231");
        jsonBodyUsingMap.put("controlStructureId", "4654-456465-4564");
        jsonBodyUsingMap.put("controntrolId", "4654-456465-4564");
        jsonBodyUsingMap.put("vehicleId", "4654-456465-4564");

But I have no idea with categoryIds, please help

This will solve your problem. So just put as ArrayList within another ArrayList and it'll be converted to an array by whatever JSON converter you're using:

    Map<String,Object> jsonBodyUsingMap = new HashMap<String,Object>();
    jsonBodyUsingMap.put("lastUpdate", "1231");
    jsonBodyUsingMap.put("controlStructureId", "4654-456465-4564");
    jsonBodyUsingMap.put("controntrolId", "4654-456465-4564");
    jsonBodyUsingMap.put("vehicleId", "4654-456465-4564");

    List<Object> categories = new ArrayList<>();
    List<String> subcategories = new ArrayList<>();
    subcategories.add("4654-456465-4564");
    subcategories.add("4654-456465-9512");
    categories.add(subcategories);
    jsonBodyUsingMap.put("categoryIds", categories);

The result of this will be:

{
   "categoryIds":[
      [
         "4654-456465-4564",
         "4654-456465-9512"
      ]
   ],
   "controlStructureId":"4654-456465-4564",
   "controntrolId":"4654-456465-4564",
   "lastUpdate":"1231",
   "vehicleId":"4654-456465-4564"
}
