How to POST in REST web service

[jayalakshmi jahagirdar]

Hi all,

I am trying to  make a REST call to get the response from Web Service. The code is as below and it works.

public static String makeRestCall(String service)  {

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

String baseURL = urlsrc;

try {

//set URL

URL url = new URL(baseURL + service);

//make connection

URLConnection urlc = url.openConnection();

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(urlc.getInputStream()));

String l = null;

while ((l=br.readLine())!=null) {

sb.append(l);

}

br.close();

} catch (Exception ex){

ex.getMessage();

}

return sb.toString();

}

But what are the changes that i need to make so that i can make  a POST call to Web service.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

What sort of content are you getting back?
Would a RequestBuilder be right thing for you?

On the server you can use httpclient:  http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/fundamentals.html#d5e169
