HTTP POST with request body

Question

For this request, I am trying to set the entity, however when I do request.setEntity , it says required type HttpEntity , on upcasting it to HttpEntity as request.setEntity((HttpEntity) entity) it still gives me exception.

final HttpPost request = new HttpPost(url);
    String json = "{\n"
        + "      \"id\": \"1\",\n"
        + "      \"method\": \"GET\",\n"
        + "      \"url\": \"https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/xyz/members\"\n"
        + "    }";
    StringEntity entity = new StringEntity(json);
    request.setEntity(entity);

Answer 1

I was using "com.signalfx.shaded.apache.http.entity.StringEntity" instead of "import org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity" which was causing the issue.
