How request.setRequestBody() work in rest mesaage

[Saroj Patel]

setRequestBody(String body)

Sets the body content to send to the web service provider when using PUT or POST HTTP methods.

When you set the body content using this method, variables in the body are not substituted for parameters from the REST message function record.

You must explicitly define all values within the REST message body.

Please explain me the last line because i haven't set any content body in my rest message still it is working . so what does last line say ..??

It means that the full body message you specifying will be set. Some of the functions allow for variable substitution marked with ${} syntax. setRequestBody() allows you to completely overwrite this and send a body you define.
