Error Java Jersey com.sun.jersey.spi.inject.Errors$ErrorMessagesException at com.sun.jersey.spi.inject.Errors.processErrorMessages(Errors.java:170)

Question

I have two methods in java class which is defined as jersey resource containing the below methods

@Path("base_endpoint")
public class ComplaintSupportResource{

    @Post
    @Path("/endPoint")
    @Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
    @Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
    public Response complaintRegister(ComplaintDTO caliamtDTO) {
        ComplaintResponseDTO response =complaintService.registerComplaint(caliamtDTO);
        return Response.ok(response).build();
    }
}

Here is the dto class :

@XmlRootElement public class ComplaintDTO {

private String memberName;
private String email;
private String mobileNO;
private String complaintId;
private String claimNo;
private String complaintDetails;
private String policyNo;



public String getComplaintId() {
    return complaintId;
}
public void setComplaintId(String complaintId) {
    this.complaintId = complaintId;
}
public String getClaimNo() {
    return claimNo;
}
public void setClaimNo(String claimNo) {
    this.claimNo = claimNo;
}
public String getComplaintDetails() {
    return complaintDetails;
}
public void setComplaintDetails(String complaintDetails) {
    this.complaintDetails = complaintDetails;
}
public String getPolicyNo() {
    return policyNo;
}
public void setPolicyNo(String policyNo) {
    this.policyNo = policyNo;
}
public String getMemberName() {
    return memberName;
}
public void setMemberName(String memberName) {
    this.memberName = memberName;
}
public String getEmail() {
    return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
    this.email = email;
}
public String getMobileNO() {
    return mobileNO;
}
public void setMobileNO(String mobileNO) {
    this.mobileNO = mobileNO;
}
}

I am getting the below exception. I am not sure what i am doing wrong.

    SEVERE: A sub-resource locator, public javax.ws.rs.core.Response com.xxx.xxx.xxxComplaintSupportResource.complaintRegister(com.xxx.xxx.xxx.ComplaintDTO), can not have an entity parameter. Try to move the parameter to the corresponding resource method.

What is wrong with below implementation. I have other endpoints also implemented i the same are working fine.

Answer 1

The @Post annotation is not correct may be you are importing from some other library they Jerysey @POST annotation is different and make sure you are importing the javax.ws.rs.POST. change the @Post to @POST like :

   @Path("base_endpoint")
   public class ComplaintSupportResource{

    **@POST**
    @Path("/endPoint")
    @Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
    @Produces({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
    public Response complaintRegister(ComplaintDTO caliamtDTO) {
        ComplaintResponseDTO response =complaintService.registerComplaint(caliamtDTO);
        return Response.ok(response).build();
    }
}
