Mule ESB - How to call a API via HTTP POST method

问题:

Its me again.

I am trying to create a flow that will post a a job opening to a job portal. They expose their API via a Post method. I am not sure how to pass the values to the HTTP end-point. This is just a testing sample with hard coded values in it. when it works will I have the flow pick-up the values from a database.

        </flow>
    </mule>

I get this back from the site so it seems the values are not being sent via the HTTP end-point.

ERROR:
- Field &#39;apikey&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;integrationkey&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;consultantemail&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;title&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;reference&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;jobtypeid&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;closingdate&#39;, is a required field.
- Field &#39;sectorids&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;location&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;description&#39;, is required.
- Field &#39;applicationmethodid&#39;, is required.

I have tried a "Message to HTTP Response" transformer as well but still no luck.

Thanks for the help.

Regards.

回答1:

Using properties with http outbound endpoint will set them as http headers. Instead you need a payload of type Map to set them as POST variables.

Like this:

<set-payload value="#[['xxx':'yyy']]"/>
