MessageBodyProviderNotFoundException: MessageBodyWriter not found for media type=application/json, type=class java.lang.Long

Question

Faced issue while configuring Moxy Json Feature from Jackson feature to Springboot + Jersey Application.

Changes done -

In ResourceConfig Extended Class -

//register(JacksonJsonProvider.class); #Commented
register(MoxyJsonFeature.class);

Added the following in Pom.xml file -

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.glassfish.jersey.media</groupId>
   <artifactId>jersey-media-moxy</artifactId>
   <version>2.23.2</version>
</dependency>

API

@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/")
@Api(value = "xyz")
public class XyzController {
    @GET
    @Path(Urls.XYZ)
    @ApiOperation(value = "xyz", notes = "xyz", nickname = "xyz")
    public Long xyz(@Valid @BeanParam final FetchParams fetchParams) {
        return testService.xyz(fetchParams);
    }
}

Exception faced for api -

Answer 1

Issue solved for me when using proper @Produces annotation.

In this case, it used to be @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON). Changing it to @Produces(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN) solved the issue.

Since the output is Long, it is going through BasicTypesMessageProvider writer model which serializes only for "text/plain".

@Produces({"text/plain"})
@Consumes({"text/plain"})
@Singleton
final class BasicTypesMessageProvider extends AbstractMessageReaderWriterProvider<Object> {...}
