Resteasy service expecting 2 json objects - php

Question

I have a service that expects 2 objects... Authentication and Client.
Both are mapped correctly.
I am trying to consume them as Json, but I'm having a hard time doing that.
If I specify just one parameter it works fine, but how can I call this service passing 2 parameters? Always give me some exception.
Here is my rest service:
#POST
#Path("login")
#Consumes("application/json")
public void login(Authentication auth, Client c)
{
// doing something
}
And here is my PHP consumer:
$post[] = $authentication->toJson();
$post[] = $client->toJson();
$resp = curl_post("http://localhost:8080/login", array(),
array(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-Type: application/json'),
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $post));
I tried some variations on what to put on CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS too but couldn't get it to work.

The problem you are probably having, is that you are declaring $post as a numbered array, which probably contains the array keys you are mapping. Basically, this is what you are giving it:
Array(
1 => Array(
'authentication' => 'some data here'
),
2 => Array(
'client' => 'some more data here'
)
)
When in reality, you should be creating the $post var like so:
Array(
'authentication' => 'some data here',
'client' => 'some more data here'
)
Try changing your code to something more like this (not optimal, but should get the job done):
$authentication = $authentication->toJson();
$client = $client->toJson();
$post = array_merge($authentication, $client);
$resp = curl_post("http://localhost:8080/login", array(),
array(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array('Content-Type: application/json'),
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $post));
