Post xml content dynamically to URL using REST

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have requirement to pass the whole xml content to URL using Reciver REST adapter.

[former_member194786]

Have you set the parameter "Content-Type" with value "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" in REST channel?

Hi Sanjeev,

There is no option in REST reciver adapter to set the Content type. Could you please let me know if there is any way to configure this.

Hi Sunil,

You can provide this value in HTTP headers tab in REST adapter. Refer to the screenshot I have provided.

Thanks,

Sanjeev.

Hello Sunil,

You can try the below approach

Since you wish to pass the entire XML as part of URL,Get the entire XML in a field using "return as string" option in message mapping.

If you wish to have some particular fields of XML then you can follow the blog without any mapping changes.

HI Raghu,

I have done the same thing, But this URL accepts encoded data so I have encoded the data passed it a filed like u said. but while dynamically passing the field value to URL through xpath this data is not getting passed to URL.

Hi Sunil,

Can you give us the example??

Hello sunil,

Your getting any error,?Check with the configurations.Because that is a standard approach.

Hi Raghu,

while I pass the data as you said , I am geting the response as premature end of file.

Since this is an encoded URL , I have encoded the whole xml, while passing dynamically using xpath it is not  passing to the URL

[Former Member]

Hi Praveen,

it is a encoded URL, so I encoded the  xml and passing it dynamically to URL. Is there any restriction in REST to pass the data dynamically. I am able to pass the values to respective fields but not the entire encoded xml.

[former_member186851]

Hello Sunil,

Might be due to length.

How big is ur XML and can you post like how ur URL looks like

[Former Member]

Hi Raghu,

Pls find the xml which I am passing

Pls let me know if there is any other way to post this xml to URL dynamically.

Thanks,

[Former Member]

URL looks like below.

Hello Sunil,

May be you need to write Java beans.Because in rest i haven't seen any other option other than this.

And can u check with WS team like they want the whole XML in the URL only or is it OK if you can send some identifier from payload in URL and XML in the message body.

[Former Member]

Hi Raghu,

do u have any  example code.

Thanks,

Sunil V

[former_member186851]

No Sunil.

Even I searched for any blogs/documents/link didn't find any.

Did you check with WS team ?

[Former Member]

Yaa i checked Raghu, But the problem is we have to send multiple payment nodes, For single node i am able to pass the identifiers dynamically.

Thanks for ur effort

[former_member186851]

Np Sunil.

Yes.Single or multiple values its fine.Whole XML also should work when u use return as string.I doubt at length or may be encoding.

I will update u if I find any further solution on this.

Hi Sunil,

• Did you test the REST web service via POSTMAN by posting the whole XML in the URL??
• First test in POSTMAN if it works do the same thing in PI.
