RESTAssured POST request

[vivek]

hi,

I am starting to use rest assured as it is very simple and suits my
requirement. I am trying to send a POST request, which has an XML as
the request body. I am unaware of how to do it using rest assured. Can
u provide a sample code snippet which does a POST service and has an
XML in the request body.

i have the xml saved in my system within the project as request.xml ,
can i send the same as part of the request body?

Hi vivek,

See http://code.google.com/p/rest-assured/wiki/Usage#Request_Body in the documentation.

body() can take a byte[] (or a String) => this way, you can pass whatever format you want as a simple content (you just have to read it by yourself first)

It depends. If you want to "upload" the file to the server you should use multi-part file uploading support (see usage guide) otherwise you must read the XML from the file and put it in the request body:

given().body(xml).when().post(..);
