title: Setting up a Restful POST request using xml
body: <p>I'm working on setting up a RESTful request for the application I'm working on and I wanted to use xml as the request in the uri instead of allowing the client to supply the parameters in the URI itself.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm looking to have the URI like so: someurl/service/request</p>
  
  <p>instead of:  someurl/service/request?id={id}&amp;name={name}</p>
  
  <p>I have been searching the web to see what the convention should be when creating the POST request.  Can anyone kind of help point me in the right direction on how I should set up this POST request allowing the client to use xml?  </p>
  
  <p>Not sure if it is relevant but I'm setting up the server side code in JAVA using the SPRING 3.0 framework.  Please let me know if I need to supply more details.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help!!</p>
