Hi Mark, if you are asking how to make a POST request then I would
have a look at the the java.net.URL and java.net.HttpURLConnection
classes.
Here is the gist of it:
URL u = new URL("http://your.remote.api...";);
HttpURLConnection http = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection(); //
create an HTTP connection
http.setDoOutput(true); //
declare that you want to write to the connection
http.setRequestMethod("POST");
OutputStream os = http.getOutputStream();
os.write(....); //
write whatever you want to the post body
os.close();
http.connect(); //
actually make the connection to your server
InputStream is = http.getInputStream();
is.read(...); //
process the response
is.close();
Although I am not doing that in my example, don't forget to close
streams in a finally clause and to handle the exceptions.
