Here's how to POST xml with Java

String urlText = "http://example.com/someservice.php";
String someXmlContent = "<root><node>Some text</node></root>";
try {
  HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) new URL(urlText).openConnection();
  c.setDoOutput(true);
  OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(c.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8");
  writer.write(someXmlContent);
  writer.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}
