Java – use Multimap instead of map to send parameters of rest assured call

I'm declaring a variable

static Multimap<String,Object> multiList = ArrayListMultimap.create();

And add image

multiList.put(**key1**,value1)
    multiList.put(**key1**,value1)
    multiList.put(**key2**,value3)

Now, my request is like

Response response = RestAssured.given().header("Cookie",SessionDetailsCedar.CSESSIONID).and().header("X-CSRFToken",SessionDetailsCedar.CSRF).and().header("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8").and().header("Connection","keep-alive").formParameters(<b>multiList</b>).when().post(<b>Some URL</b>);

My problem is that when I want to use Multimap, formparameters (map) only uses map as a parameter

Solution

Multimap cannot be converted to map because it corresponds to the definition of map In this case, I think you should use another method of rest, formparam method, as shown in the following example:

RestAssured.
    given().
            contentType("application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=ISO-8859-1").
            formParam("key1",value1).
            formParam("key1",value2).
            formParam("key2",value3).
    when().
            post("Some URL");
