First, we need to create an XML file that we want to update.

Let's assume we have

an XML file named "example.xml" with the following contents:

<root>
<element1>value1</element1>
<element2>value2</element2>
</root>
Next, we can use the Java DOM parser to read and update the XML file. Here's an
example code snippet that updates the value of "element1" to "newvalue1":

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

public class UpdateXML {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
// Load the XML file
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse("example.xml");

// Get the element we want to update

Element element1 = (Element) doc.getElementsByTagName("element1").item(0);

// Update the value of the element

element1.setTextContent("newvalue1");

// Write the updated XML to a new file

TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult("updated.xml");
transformer.transform(source, result);
}
}
This code loads the XML file, finds the "element1" element, updates its value, and
then writes the updated XML to a new file named "updated.xml".

Finally, we can use the RestAssured library to send the updated XML file in the
request body of an API. Here's an example code snippet that sends the updated XML
to an API:

import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.response.Response;
import io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification;

public class SendXML {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Set up the RestAssured request specification
RequestSpecification request = RestAssured.given()
.baseUri("https://example.com")
.contentType("application/xml")
 .body(new File("updated.xml"));

// Send the request and get the response

Response response = request.post("/api");

// Print the response body

System.out.println(response.getBody().asString());
}
}

This code sets up the RestAssured request specification with the base URI, content
type, and request body. It then sends a POST request to the "/api" endpoint and
prints the response body.
