POST request with JSON data to tRESTClient component

[Anonymous]

How can I create POST request with JSON data using tRESTClient component? I can only successfully send XML Document. Should I put JSON data inside XML element? It seems that is the only way to send JSON data. I am using talend 5.5.1.

For the component tRestClient, you don't need to put both body and string in the same time. If you want to put a xml, you use body, if not, you put just in string. There is not the option 'Convert Response To DOM Document' in the version 5.5.1? I use the version 6. Could you put a screenshot of 'Advanced settings' for your component tRestClient?

You need to, otherwise it won't compile.
You can see that there is now 'Convert Response To DOM Document' option.

Can you update your talend to 5.5.2? There is this option from the version 5.5.2.

This is not strictly true. While you need to connect from one component to the tRestClient supplying a "string" and "body" column, they do not both need to actually be populated with anything. 
If you simply supply a correct formatted JSON String to the "string" column and leave the "body" column empty, the service you are calling will receive the JSON. It will be converted to XML and will be received via the body Document column (you will need to create this), but it will be received.

I cannot crete this kind of job.
Can you tell me how to set components to achieve this?
Right now I have consumer job with:
tfixedflow--tXMLmap--tRESTClient
And service with 
tRESTRequest--tXMLmap--RESTResponse
If I do like you said I get null inside 'string'.

I assume you mean that you receive null inside "string" in the service. The service will not receive a "string" value, it will receive a "body" document. The JSON will be translated to a XML document.

It doesnt work.
If on the client side I leave body empty and put JSON inside string and
on the service side if I try to get JSON from the body I get an runtime error.
But this works:
If I put JSON inside XML and inside body and If I set tRESTClient that accepts JSON, I get JSON on the service side from body.
