How to call a REST Service from Java using POST?
I use the Apache HttpClient/PostMethod APIs and am able to successfully call
the REST services so long I pass the parameters as part of the URL (use
JAX-WS). However, I have a large content to send and therefore, need to make
it part of the POST Request Body. I can't seem to find another way to pass
the payload other than stick it in the URL which, ofcourse, fails owing to
the 4K limitation (apparently). Any thoughts?

So do you send the content as the request body? Do you have an example of
this?

Re: How to call a REST Service from Java using POST?
Posted by Julio Oliveira <ju...@gmail.com>.
You can use a Bean to send and to return values.I use Rest Post to send a
String (XML format) and convert it at the other side.
I use XStream to convert from JavaBean object to xml String and xml to
JavaBean in only one line of code.
My test say that the problem is the JVM memmory only, i return an ArrayList
to JavaBean of 2000 records by 49 properties without problem.

I'm not the REST-expert, but I expect that there's some way indeed to
use POST. I was just reacting to realizing that your 4-k-ish limit had
to do with data encoded onto a URL.

oh oh.. what does that mean? sorry but if you wouldn't mind elaborating..
basically, I use CXF quite heavily and am implementing RESTful services
using that for a number of different applications (deployed in various
containers). In 1 case, I have to pass a huge XML payload (about 6K) to a
REST service. I suppose there must be some way to do this, right?
Ran into a @FormParam option but doesn't like the current (even the latest)
versions of CXF support that. Given that, what are my options? Certainly,
not using CXF is one but a rather difficult one. If this is infact a
limitation, why is it the case?

You certainly can't have an unbounded URL. This isn't just CXF.
