Import the required classes and interfaces.

import net.rim.device.api.io.messaging.*;
import net.rim.device.api.io.URI;

Create a URI object to pass to the DestinationFactory class.
```
URI uri = new URI("http://www.example.com");
```
Create a FireAndForgetDestination object.
```
FireAndForgetDestination ffd = null;
```

Retrieve the FireAndForgetDestination object for your context, if one exists.

try
{
    ffd = (FireAndForgetDestination) DestinationFactory.getSenderDestination
                                          ("MyContext", uri);

If no FireAndForgetDestination exists, create one.

    if(ffd == null)
    {
        ffd = DestinationFactory.createFireAndForgetDestination
                          (new Context("MyContext"), uri);
    }

Create a ByteMessage object and populate it with information to send to a web service.

    ByteMessage myMsg = ffd.createByteMessage();
    myMsg.setStringPayload("I love my BlackBerry device!");

Cast your message as an HTTPMessage to set the HTTP method that you want to use.
```
    ((HttpMessage) myMsg).setMethod(HttpMessage.POST);
```
Send the message to the web service.
```
    ffd.sendNoResponse(myMsg);
```
Catch any errors that occur if the message could not be sent for some reason.
```
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        // Process the error
    }
```
