Need Help with HttpPut

[Kishen Singh Punjabi]

Here's my code which works

 HttpClient httpClient = null;
			HttpResponse response = null;
			HttpPut httpPut = null;
			StatusLine statusLine = null;
			try { 
				httpPut = new HttpPut("http://localhost:8080/Test_app/details?customerId=122&productId=pp");
				
				HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
				int timeOut = 0;
				HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, timeOut);	
				httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);
				
			        response = httpClient.execute(httpPut);

But I want to set the query params like below and it not working. Parameters are going to the servlet. Please help

HttpClient httpClient = null;
			HttpResponse response = null;
			HttpPut httpPut = null;
			StatusLine statusLine = null;
			try { 
				httpPut = new HttpPut("http://localhost:8080/Test_app/details");
				
				List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
				nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("customerId", URLEncoder.encode("123456","UTF-8")));
				nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("productId", URLEncoder.encode("pp12","UTF-8")));
				httpPut.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

				HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
				int timeOut = 0;
				HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, timeOut);	
				httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);
				
			        response = httpClient.execute(httpPut);
		            

Also how do I send an xml in request body for the same PUT request.

Thanks for the help!!

What does "is not working" mean? What happens, and how is that different from what you were expecting?

You would send the XML as another named parameter.

Actually the parameters are null in the servlet when I use the below code

HttpClient httpClient = null;
			HttpResponse response = null;
			HttpPut httpPut = null;
			StatusLine statusLine = null;
			try { 
				httpPut = new HttpPut("http://localhost:8080/Test_app/details");
				
				List<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
				nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("customerId", URLEncoder.encode("123456","UTF-8")));
				nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("productId", URLEncoder.encode("pp12","UTF-8")));
				httpPut.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));

				HttpParams httpParams = new BasicHttpParams();
				int timeOut = 0;
				HttpConnectionParams.setConnectionTimeout(httpParams, timeOut);	
				httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(httpParams);
				
			        response = httpClient.execute(httpPut);
		            

Any help..

If this was my problem I would use TCPMON or SOAPui on the client side to see exactly what your client request contains.

Thanks Willaim. Is this the expected behavior of HttpPut API to not send the parameters using BasicNamevaluePair ..?

I have never used HttpPut, why ask me - what does the published API say?

Have you actually tried my suggestion to look at what is being sent?

[Kishen Singh Punjabi]

Yes Bill, I have tried to check the param values at the client side and found them to be null.

The API for version 4.3 here say that this constructor for DefaultHttpClient is deprecated.

Which version of the toolkit are you using?
