It depends on what your resource can consume. You can post plain text or json or xml request too.

The below sample allows you to post an XML request to your resource.

@Path("/customers")
public class Customers {
 @POST
 @Path("add")
 @ConsumeMime(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
 public Response addCusomter(Customer customer) {
     //process the customer pojo in memory or db
 }
}


You can send in a customer XML in the HTTPClient post operation as
   File input = new File("customer.xml");
   PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://localhost:8080/customers/add";);
   post.addRequestHeader("Accept" , "application/xml");
   RequestEntity entity = new FileRequestEntity(input, "application/xml");
   post.setRequestEntity(entity);
httpclient.executeMethod(post);

Hi all

I just start with CXF and i have a little problem with the post method.
Here's my code:

- myClass.java
@Path("test")
public class myClass{
        @POST
        @Path("/newtest")
        public String myMethod(String myParam){
              return myParam;
        }
}
To test my webservice, i execute this code:

public static void main(String args[]) {
     PostMethod post = new PostMethod("http://localhost:8080/test/newtest";);
     HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient();
     try {
            int result = httpclient.executeMethod(post);
     }finally {
            post.releaseConnection();
     }
}
My question is how do I specify the parameter "myParam" in the main method?

Thanks for your help
