copied!<p>I'm trying to make a POST call to a local ReST service that sends back a simple XML response.</p> <p>I'm getting back this error:</p> <pre><code>java.io.IOException: Unsupported Media Type at com.eric.RawTestPOST.httpPost(RawTestPOST.java:42) at com.eric.RawTestPOST.main(RawTestPOST.java:66) </code></pre> <p>I'm following this example:<a href="http://rest.elkstein.org/2008/02/using-rest-in-java.html" rel="nofollow">Link</a></p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>public class RawTestPOST { public static String httpPost(String urlStr, String method, String parameter, String parameterValue) throws Exception { URL url = new URL(urlStr); HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); conn.setRequestMethod("POST"); conn.setDoOutput(true); conn.setDoInput(true); conn.setUseCaches(false); conn.setAllowUserInteraction(false); conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); // Create the form content OutputStream out = conn.getOutputStream(); Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(out, "UTF-8"); /* for (int i = 0; i < string.length; i++) { */ writer.write(method); writer.write("?"); writer.write(parameter); writer.write("="); writer.write(URLEncoder.encode(parameterValue, "UTF-8")); writer.write("&"); /* } */ writer.close(); out.close(); if (conn.getResponseCode() != 200) { throw new IOException(conn.getResponseMessage()); } // Buffer the result into a string BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn .getInputStream())); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); String line; while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) { sb.append(line); } rd.close(); conn.disconnect(); return sb.toString(); } public static void main(String[] args) { String url = "http://localhost:9082/ServicesWSRest/"; String method = "getResponse"; String parameter = "empID"; String parameterValue = "954"; try { System.out.println(RawTestPOST.httpPost(url, method, parameter, parameterValue)); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (Exception e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } } } </code></pre> <p>The parameters are not imprtant. The XML response just returns the parameters sent in.</p> <p>I can get it to work with a GET request.</p> <p>Let me know if y'all need anymore information.</p> <p>Thanks, E</p>
