Hi Oleg,
Two things need to be considered to make your code work:
* Please have a closer look at the syntax of the ADD command. The "TO" keyword is required to indicate that you are also specifying a database path. This is how it should be: add to /kgw <book id="1" />
* If you enclose a command string with XML snippets, it needs to be encoded (otherwise, XML will really be interpreted as XML, even before the command will be interpreteed in a second step):
OLD: <text><![CDATA[ add to /kgw <book id=\"1\" /> ]]></text>
Correct (1st variant): <text> add to /kgw <book id="1" /> </text>
Correct (2nd variant): <text><![CDATA[ add to /kgw <book id=\"1\" /> ]]></text>
If you want to add XML via REST, it is probably easier, and faster, to use the PUT method [1,2]. It allows you to both create new databases and add/update its resources (and there will be no need to encode your XML stream).
Hope this helps, Christian
