Hello There,

I want to do a http post using an object.

So I have method like this :
@POST
@Consumes("application/xml")
@Path("/update/update1")
public Response update(DomainClass scheduledTask) {

now with unit testing I am successfully able to do the update:

String newTask = "<DomainClass >"
+ "<field1>test.jar</field1>"
+ "</DomainClass >";

URL postUrl = new URL("http://server//update/update1");


HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) postUrl
.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setReadTimeout(5000);
connection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/xml");
OutputStream os = connection.getOutputStream();
os.write(newTask.getBytes());

I want to send the same object thru jsp any ideas how to do that ? converting form fields to xml string is way to go... but are there existing tools for that? I am looking here what people do usually?

This doesn't seem like anything that JSP would be used or useful for.

Than what is suggested approach... how will you send an xml ?What techs would you use ? Now I can write whole code to convert form data into xml string but I want to use some existing framework to do this .So how would you approach this ?

Can you explain higher level functionality what you are trying to achieve? There may be some other way to do the same thing.

A simple and efficient approach would use File Transfer Protoccol (FTP) to send an XML-based file. An alternative would be to send the data as a message via messaging system.

You could even use code which looked a lot like what you wrote to upload the XML via HTTP POST, if that's the requirement. However the statement that JSP isn't the right place to put such code is still correct.

File size is an important aspect to consider. XML-based data files greater than 1 GB typically are best sent via FTP. A small XML document can be sent effectively via HTTP or JMS-based message.

Thanks for inputs guys. I think metadata exchange on both layers () is the way to go . Still trying to figure out how to do this.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
