Alternatively you must create POJO class for you Id parameter with getters and setters:

String createRequestUrl="YOUR_LINK WHERE_YOU GET answer FROM";
RestTemplate template=new RestTemplate();
your_POJO_object.setYour_Pojo_Object(Id);
ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
MultiValueMap<String, String> orderRequestHeaders=new 
LinkedMultiValueMap<String,String>();
orderRequestHeaders.add("Content-Type", "application/json");
orderRequestHeaders.add("Accept", "application/json");
String orderCreateRequest=objectMapper.writeValueAsString(YOUR POJO object.class);
HttpEntity<String> orderRequest=new HttpEntity<String>(orderCreateRequest, orderRequestHeaders);
String response=template.postForObject(createRequestUrl, orderRequest, String.class);

What you want to acheive is a bit unclear to me.

By writing "MyId" to the response before letting "PathofServet" process the request, you're breaking the json format in the response.

Have you an exemple of what the servlet "PathofServlet", expects as request and send as response ? And what you would like your servlet to response ?
