JAVA: POST with credentials to REST endpoint

I used postman to do the following:

If I use postman to do post XML

Ok, so the above works in that order...How do I replicate this in Java?

I need to be able to POST to the login and then POST my XML to the API

I have tried this:

POST to login

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED);
HttpEntity<String> request = new HttpEntity<String>(message, headers);
ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.postForEntity("http://localhost:8082/login?username=john&password=abcd", request, String.class);


POST to Rest API

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML);
HttpEntity<String> request = new HttpEntity<String>(message, headers);
ResponseEntity<String> response = restTemplate.postForEntity("http://localhost:8082/api/method", request, String.class);


But it seems as though they are separate requests. Still the login does not work either. Any help would be great thanks.

I don't mind using Apache HTTP client...
