how to stop encoding of XML characters in httpparams

[sudheera]

Hi,

we have to send xmlmessage in httpparams for REST application.

we are getting the xmlmessage in arstasks.comments and sending in httpparams like below.

json:

{
"accountIdPath": "accountName",
"call": [
{
"name": "Access-Role",
"connection": "userAuth",
"url": "https://host/deleteEntitlements",
"httpMethod": "DELETEWITHBODY",
"httpParams":"{\"sso\":\"${user.username}\",\"appName\":\"A 2.0\",\"firstName\":\"${user.firstname}\",\"lastName\":\"${user.lastname}\",\"email\":\"${user.email}\",\"xmlMessage\": \"<Roles>${arsTasks.comments}</Roles>\"}",
"httpHeaders": {
"Authorization": "${access_token}",
"Content-type": "application/json"
},
"httpContentType": "application/json",
"successResponses": {
"statusCode": [
200
]
},
"unsuccessResponses": {
"statusCode": [
400,
403,
500
]
}
}
]
}

arsTasks.comments getting form enhanced query execution like below:

<Role><AppRole>TreasuryApprover</AppRole><Site>All</Site></Role><Role><AppRole>Requestor</AppRole><Site>Gas Power HQ non project related TFIs</Site></Role>

but in logs, when calling the webservice saviynt is encoding the xml tags like below, and target API is not accepting the format: < to &lt; and >&gt;

quartzScheduler_Worker-10-qr5gw-DEBUG-Calling Webservice Url - https://qa-aloc.example.com/aloc-services/deleteEntitlements with httpParams - [sso:123456789, appName:ALOC 2.0, TestFirstName, TestLastName:Test012, email:test.email@domain.com, xmlMessage:<Roles>&lt;Role&gt;&lt;AppRole&gt;TreasuryApprover&lt;/AppRole&gt;&lt;Site&gt;All&lt;/Site&gt;&lt;/Role&gt;&lt;Role&gt;&lt;AppRole&gt;Requestor&lt;/AppRole&gt;&lt;Site&gt;Gas Power HQ non project related TFIs&lt;/Site&gt;&lt;/Role&gt;</Roles>]

How to stop this special char encoding in xmlmessage when calling webservise?

@sudheera change content type to text/xml

Instead of below

Content-type": "application/json"
