Post XML Payload to other application in java

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to post an xml file as a string to another url using a HttpURLConnection,OutputStream classes. My code will look like below:
String xmldata = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"
+ "<cust><firstNmTxt>"
+ firstNmTxt
+ "</firstNmTxt><midInitTxt>"
+ lastNmTxt
+ "</midInitTxt><lastNmTxt>"
+ lastNmTxt
+ "</lastNmTxt>"
+ "<addrLine1Txt>"
+ addrLine1Txt
+ "</addrLine1Txt><addrLine2Txt>"
     + addrLine2Txt
+ "</addrLine2Txt><cityNm>"
     + cityNm
     + "</cityNm><postlStCd>"
     + postlStCd
     + "</postlStCd><zipCd>"
     + zipCd
     + "</zipCd><phoneNum>
     + phoneNum
     + "</phoneNum><emlAddrTxt>"
     + emlAddr
     + "</emlAddrTxt></cust>";
HttpURLConnection con = null;
OutputStreamWriter output = null;
try
URL portalUrl = new URL("http://sampleurl/PayloadsServlet");
con = (HttpURLConnection) portalUrl.openConnection();
con.setDoOutput(true);
con.setRequestMethod("POST");
     System.out.println("Requested Method IS : " + con.getRequestMethod() + " AND Requested URL IS:" + con.getURL());
con.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "text/xml");
con.connect();
output = new OutputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream());
output.write(xmldata);
     System.out.println("CONTENT:" + output.toString());
//Clean-up resources
output.close();
String line;
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(con.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
     System.out.println("Response From Application URL:" + line +"\n");
catch (Exception e)
// Handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
// Log exception          
finally
if (output != null)
output.close();
if (con != null)
con.disconnect();
The issue with this code is when I am printing the response from the URL, I couldn't see the data I am sending( i.e.xml payload) But I could see the the output of the URL page I have given to connect.
Do I need to commit the "output" after writing it to the URL's Outputstream?
Please anybody help me with this. I am in hurry.
Thanks in Advance,
NB

This can't be done.
Windows Token are unique to each process.  To pass a token from one process to another in Windows, you need to call DuplicateHandle() which requires process handles in each process.
