[ZOO-Discuss] Post-Buffer-Request with Java-Client

[Kristof Lange]

Hi list,

I wonder if it is possible to send a simple buffer-request to the wps 
server with my java post-client.
Something like this:

URL url = new URL(targetURL);
           URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
           conn.setDoOutput(true);
           OutputStreamWriter wr = new 
OutputStreamWriter(conn.getOutputStream());
           wr.write(payload);
     wr.flush()

where payload is this parsed xml-file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

       </wps:DataInputs>
       <wps:ResponseForm>
               <wps:ResponseDocument>
                       <ows:Identifier>BufferedPolygon</ows:Identifier>
               </wps:ResponseDocument>
       </wps:ResponseForm>
</wps:Execute>



this is the endpoint I am using: http://zoo-project.org/zoosoo/
Thanks for help
