POST Request with XML inputs

Hi All,

How can i send POST method (request) with xml inputs (as like below),

<participant>
<description>sample</description>
<system>sample</system>
<id>test</id>
<timezone>ACT</timezone>
</participant>

and its application type (Accept type) should be application/xml;
Tried with all the type such as (HEADER, QUERY, TEMPLATE and PLAIN) but no luck.

Thanks,
Hari

    what is happening currently when the request is POST'ed with http headers by including application type. Are you sure, no other http headers are required or missing?

    Rao,

    Thanks for replay,

    Getting this exception while POST the request - "org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException: Could not unmarshal to[class com.server.domain.Participant]: null; nested exception is javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException - with linked exception: [org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Premature end of file.]"

    I've included Authentication header with preemptive type and i'm sure that no other headers are needed for this request.

    Able to POST the request successfully without any issues using RestClient firefox plugin.

    Thanks,
    Hari

    I believe this is a similar problem I am experiencing when sending a JSON object in a POST. Only occurs in SoapUI. Works with all other tools

    Sorry for the delay Hari.

    Have you noticed Raw request sent by soapui and compare with post request you doing thru ff plugin. Any thing differs?
