[java] Http Post With Body

You can use HttpClient and HttpPost to send a json string as body:

public void post(String completeUrl, String body) {
    HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
    HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(completeUrl);
    httpPost.setHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
    try {
        StringEntity stringEntity = new StringEntity(body);
        httpPost.getRequestLine();
        httpPost.setEntity(stringEntity);

        httpClient.execute(httpPost);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e);
    }
}

Json body example:

{
  "param1": "value 1",
  "param2": 123,
  "testStudentArray": [
    {
      "name": "Test Name 1",
      "gpa": 3.5
    },
    {
      "name": "Test Name 2",
      "gpa": 3.8
    }
  ]
}
