Send xml code to server using java?

Question

So, I'm curious. How would one go about sending XML, such as,

<request>
<playerID>Name</playerID>
</request>

to a server, using Java.

Is there a predefined method that exists within the Java API, or something of that sort? Does sending the above code directly differ from sending it inside of an external XML document?

I'm at a loss. I really hope this question is clear enough!

Unless your bottleneck really is your bandwidth, I suggest you just send it as plain text similar to ordinary HTTP.

Is there a predefined method that exists within the Java API, or something of that sort?

Not in the standard Java API.

Does sending the above code directly differ from sending it inside of an external XML document?

Not sure what you mean here. Care to clarify?

To clarify, I could send the XML as "Code in a string" or, as code in an external XML document.

Can't see how sending it in an external xml document would gain anything.
