I am using Apache Commons HttpClient PostMethod 3.1.
In the PostMethod class there are also three methods for setting POST method's request body:
setRequestBody(InputStream body)
setRequestBody(String body)
setRequestBody(NameValuePair[] parametersBody);
NameValuePair API
First two methods are deprecated. Does anybody knows why? Because if I want to put an XML to request body, NameValuePair does not help me.
Does anybody knows an workaround or a solution?
The javadoc says:
Deprecated. use setRequestEntity(RequestEntity)
RequestEntity has a lot of implementors, namely:
ByteArrayRequestEntity, FileRequestEntity, InputStreamRequestEntity, MultipartRequestEntity, StringRequestEntity
Use the one that suits you:
String, use the StringRequestEntityFileRequestEntityand so on.
StringRequestEntity not found in Suggestion.Yes, so for example,
post.setRequestEntity( new StringRequestEntity( xml ) );
instead of
post.setRequestBody( xml );
StringRequestEntity(String) is deprecated now too. Instead you'll have to use: post.setRequestEntity(new StringRequestEntity(xml, "text/xml", "ISO-8859-1"));
