Hello folks,

I'm trying to do a wfs post request via java to the geoserver. I just want to do a simple getFeature Requst. For testing I took the xml body from the demo page. (WFS_getFeature_1.0.xml). Error and Java Code following...

Error response:

Hi Sebastian,

The problem here is the use of the content type "x-www-form...". When GeoServer sees this content type it essentially treats the request as a GET pulling the kvp's from the body rather than the header.

So in this case it sees three key value pairs: body, username + password. The problem is that "body" is not recognized to be special... so it wont parse it as xml or anything.

Anyways, to get this to work i believe you will have to change the content type to "text/xml" or "application/xml". Now to send the username and password you need to use the "Authorization" header in the request. Something like this:

HttpURLConnection conn = ...;

String username = "...";
String password = "...";

byte b = Base64.encodeBase64(username + ":" + password);
String authHeader = "Basic " + new String(b);

conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", authHeader);

Hope that helps,

-Justin

Hum, I'd say wrong MIME type:

I changed the mime-type to application/xml but now I get a

Did you remove the url encoding of the xml? It looks like it is still being sent encoded.

      // Write output

      DataOutputStream printout = new DataOutputStream (conn.getOutputStream

Ok, so still a couple of things wrong:

1. The body of the request (ie data variable) must only be the xml, it cannot be key value pairs body, username, and password. So change:

String data = "username=admin&password=geoserver&body="+xml;

to

String data = xml;

2. GeoServer will not recognize username and password in this way. In my first reply I described how to do authentication in a POST, I provided a code example as well:

String username = "...";
String password = "...";

byte b = Base64.encodeBase64(username + ":" + password);
String authHeader = "Basic " + new String(b);

conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", authHeader);

Thank you!

I had a problem with the base64 encoding, so I just left the encoding away and wrote:

conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization","admin:geoserver");

Now it works :slight_smile:

Thanks again and regards,
Sebastian

I think the xml body isn't recognized, what attribute name do I need?

Did you remove the url encoding of the xml? It looks like it is still
being sent encoded.

Hmm... thats my code now:
--------------
        URL url = new URL ("http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wfs&quot;\);
        String xml = "<wfs:Transaction .... </wfs:Transaction>";
        String tmp = null;
                // Get connection
        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
        conn.setDoInput (true);
        conn.setDoOutput (true);
        conn.setUseCaches (false);
        conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/xml");
                        // Write output
        DataOutputStream printout = new DataOutputStream (conn.getOutputStream
());
        String data = "username=admin&password=geoserver&body="+xml;
        printout.writeBytes (data);
        printout.flush ();
        printout.close ();
                // Get response
        DataInputStream input = new DataInputStream (conn.getInputStream ());
                while (null != ((tmp = input.readLine())))
            System.out.println (tmp);

        input.close();
