Hi All, I am struggling in rest API where i need to post an XML in body with header and get the response, can anyone post an example of how to do it? - rest

Question

String reqURL = baseUrl + data_oauth.get(PropLoad.getTestXmlData("URL"));
Template template = new Template();
String updatedUrl = template.getUpdatedURL(reqURL);
Map<String, String> headers = Template.getRequestData(data_oauth,PropLoad.getTestXmlData("HEADER"));
headers.entrySet().toString();
String updatedAuthor = template.getAuthorizationHeader(headers, methodDesc);
headers.put("Authorization", updatedAuthor);
String xmlRequest = Template.generateStringFromResource(data_oauth,"xmlbody");
Response response = webCredentials_rest.postCallWithHeaderAndBodyParamForXml(headers, xmlRequest, updatedUrl);
// am getting Unmarshalled as in response, can any help me on posting an POST request with XML body in it

Answer 1

You can send it like this:
URL url = new URL(urlString);
URLConnection connenction = url.openConnection();
OutputStream output = connenction.getOutputStream();
InputStream input = new FileInputStream(xmlFile);
byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
int len;
while ((len = input .read(buffer)) >= 0) {
out.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
input .close();
output.close();
And read the response like this:
StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connenction.getInputStream()));
String readLine = reader.readLine();
while (readLine != null) {
stringBuilder.append(readLine);
readLine = br.readLine();
}
