java - How to post complex XML using rest assured -

using rest-assured can perform get, post , other methods. in example below sending post api returns json response.

@test public void reservearide() {     given().         header("authorization", "abcdefgh-123456").         param("rideid", "gffgr-3423-gsdgh").         param("guestcount", 2).     when().         post("http://somewebsite/reserveride").     then().         contenttype(contenttype.json).         body("result.message", equalto("success")); } 

but need create post request complex xml body. body example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <request protocol="3.0" version="xxx" session="xxx"> <info1 param1="xxx" version="xxx" size="xxx" notes="xxx"/> <info2 param1="xxx" version="xxx" size="xxx" notes="xxx"/> </request> 

how can this? thank in advance

i keep bodies in resources directory, , read them string using following method:

public static string generatestringfromresource(string path) throws ioexception {      return new string(files.readallbytes(paths.get(path)));  } 

then in request can say

string myrequest = generatestringfromresource("path/to/xml.xml")          given()             .contenttype("application/xml")             .body(myrequest)         .when()             .put("my.url/endpoint/")         .then()             statuscode(200)
