java post request json
Here is what you need to do:
Get the Apache HttpClient, this would enable you to make the required request
Create an HttpPost request with it and add the header application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Create a StringEntity that you will pass JSON to it
Execute the call
The code roughly looks like (you will still need to debug it and make it work):
// @Deprecated HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
try {
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("http://yoururl");
StringEntity params = new StringEntity("details={\"name\":\"xyz\",\"age\":\"20\"} ");
request.addHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.setEntity(params);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(request);
} catch (Exception ex) {
} finally {
// @Deprecated httpClient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
}
