The following snippet shows one approach to sending an HTTP POST to a service endpoint. The complete code is available in the
com.activevos.examples.xmlbinding.SimpleXmlServiceRequest
class provided to you in the examples folder.
public class SimpleXmlServiceRequest { /** * Class to hold service response data. */ static class ServiceResponse { static final int SUCCESS = 0; static final int FAULTED = 1; static final int ERROR = 2; /** Code indicating if the service invoke was a success, fault or other error.*/ int responseCode; /** Response xml data */ String responseData; } /** * Invokes XML service using POST method returns service response. */ public static ServiceResponse invokeService(URL aXmlServiceUrl, String aXmlPayload, String aUsername, String aPassword) throws IOException { HttpURLConnection httpConnection = null; BufferedReader reader = null; OutputStreamWriter writer = null; try { // create connection URLConnection c = aXmlServiceUrl.openConnection(); httpConnection = (HttpURLConnection)c; httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml"); httpConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(aXmlPayload.length())); // Set credentials (if secured using BASIC auth). if (aUsername != null && aPassword != null) { // code to set the authorization header (e.g. BASIC) } httpConnection.setDoOutput(true); httpConnection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true); // send the payload writer = new OutputStreamWriter(httpConnection.getOutputStream()); writer.write(aXmlPayload); writer.flush(); // read response if ( httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK || httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_ACCEPTED ) { reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpConnection.getInputStream())); } else { reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(httpConnection.getErrorStream())); } // read response StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); String line = null; while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line); } ServiceResponse response = new ServiceResponse(); response.responseData = sb.toString(); if ( httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK || httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_ACCEPTED ) { // Success! response.responseCode = ServiceResponse.SUCCESS; } else if (httpConnection.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_INTERNAL_ERROR && httpConnection.getContentType().toLowerCase().startsWith("text/xml") ) { // Faulted!

E.g.: close writer, reader and disconnect http connection. } } public static void main(String[] args) { // Create sample request. In this example, the sample request is created using // a string.
