How to send HTTP post request using spring

Question

What configuration do i need to send HTTP post request through spring. I am using java application , it's not a web project. Can i use spring to send HTTP post request? I google it but most almost all examples are using spring MVC. Can i use just spring to send HTTP post request ?

I found this bean on net but I don't know what to do after it. I am using spring3.2 and this post i think is of year 2008...

<bean id="httpClient" class="org.springbyexample.httpclient.HttpClientTemplate">
    <property name="defaultUri">
        <value><![CDATA[http://localhost:8093/test]]></value>
    </property>
</bean>

Any suggestions?

try using jersy jersey.java.net

if Spring is not obligatory, than use Apache HTTP client

your solution is REST or SOAP api

If you are using Spring 3.0+, it will be better to use RestTemplate for sending HTTP requests. Once you wire the RestTemplate (API), you can use different methods in it to send different types of HTTP requests.

You don't need Spring just to issue a HTTP post, see this post: Using java.net.URLConnection to fire and handle HTTP requests

And yes you can use Spring in a non-web application / command line application. Just create an instance of ApplicationContext (eg: ClassPathApplicationContext with path to your beans xml configuration injected)
