using Rest with POST XML

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I have a job that is a REST service in which I use XML to pass data to and it returns XML. The data is posted to it using POST.
So in the job I mapped for the incoming an field named id
However I do not know how to pass the data to it. I did a POST (content type application/xml ) with an xml like this:
123
But the job in talend fills in null for the id. I am not exacly sure what the problem is, is my POST data structure not correct? or is it not possible to use the tRESTREquest directly like this with an incoming XML and should another component extract the XML fields from the RestRequest?

Hi,
I've created a short tutorial how to use the tRESTRequest in combination with POST XML below:
1. Create flow as shown in the RESTRequestExampleREST_POST_XML screenshot
--> The body is set to "Document", this will hold the XML payload
2. In the tXML component (see xmlMapExampleREST_POST_XML screenshot), define the schema schema for the body, in this case I used a simple schema:
<ROOT>
<ID></ID>
</ROOT>
3. Map the xml fields to your target schema, in this case "messageContent" of type String
4. The messageContent is printed using the tLogRow (using TablePrint)
5. The tRESTResponse is default (returns 200 OK)

Now, start the job and run the command below to test:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: application/xml" -d "<ROOT><ID>123</ID></ROOT>" http://127.0.0.1:8090/myRESTService/publishId
As a result, you have the tLogRow component printing the value of <ID>:
| tLogRow_1 |
|=------------=|
|messageContent|
|=------------=|
|123 |
'--------------'
That's all.
