My java class is like below,

@POST
@Path("/createMime")
@Consumes({ MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED })
public String createMime(CategoryType categoryType) throws MyRestException {

        logger.info("Processing /createMime");
        //same code here
        return userDAO.category(categoryType);
    }

How do I solve this issue? The below image shows my request sent through Rest client

Solution

  • I could fix this issue by adding the following to my request headers.

    Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    I got the response as below,

    Status Code: 200 OK
Content-Length: 59
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
