web request with request params and content body

Question

I've used Matlab's webwrite() to make calls to a REST API, providing the requset params. However, I need to now make a call where the Request Body must be specified. Is there a way to do this?

The REST API is defined by a Java Spring controller, e.g.:

@PostMapping(value = "post") public ResponseEntity<?> setMySTuff( @RequestParam(name = "myId") int myId, @RequestBody Collection<MyCustomObject> myObjList) {

THe data paramemter for webwrite seems intended for being a set of key/value request param pairs, and not a means of setting the request body.

If I remember correctly, @RequestParam is used for mapping values as query parameters, while @RequestBody defines the content of the response. If my assumptions are valid, the Matlab equivalent should be:

url = ['http://mywebsite.net/service/?myId=' num2str(5778)]; body = struct('Item1','Hello','Item2','World'); opts = weboptions('MediaType','application/json','RequestMethod','post'); response = webwrite(url,body,opts);
