I am actually new to REST WS but really I don't get this 415 Unsupported Media Type.
I am testing my REST with Poster on Firefox and the GET works fine for me, also the POST (when it's a application/xml) but when I try application/json it doesn't not reach the WS at all, the server rejects it.
This is my URL: http:// localhost:8081/RestDemo/services/customers/add
This is JSON I'm sending: {"name": "test1", "address" :"test2"}
This is XML I'm sending:
<customer>
<name>test1</name>
<address>test2</address>
</customer>
and this is my Resource class:
@Produces("application/xml")
@Path("customers")
@Singleton
@XmlRootElement(name = "customers")
public class CustomerResource {
private TreeMap<Integer, Customer> customerMap = new TreeMap<Integer, Customer>();
public CustomerResource() {
// hardcode a single customer into the database for demonstration
// purposes
Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.setName("Harold Abernathy");
customer.setAddress("Sheffield, UK");
addCustomer(customer);
}
@GET
@XmlElement(name = "customer")
public List<Customer> getCustomers() {
List<Customer> customers = new ArrayList<Customer>();
customers.addAll(customerMap.values());
return customers;
}
@GET
@Path("/{id}")
@Produces("application/json")
public String getCustomer(@PathParam("id") int cId) {
Customer customer = customerMap.get(cId);
return "{\"name\": \" " + customer.getName() + " \", \"address\": \"" + customer.getAddress() + "\"}";
}
@POST
@Path("/add")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_XML, MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
public String addCustomer(Customer customer) {
//insert
int id = customerMap.size();
customer.setId(id);
customerMap.put(id, customer);
//get inserted
Customer result = customerMap.get(id);
return "{\"id\": \" " + result.getId() + " \", \"name\": \" " + result.getName() + " \", \"address\": \"" + result.getAddress() + "\"}";
}
}
EDIT 1:
This is my Customer class:
@XmlRootElement
public class Customer implements Serializable {
private int id;
private String name;
private String address;
public Customer() {
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getAddress() {
return address;
}
public void setAddress(String address) {
this.address = address;
}
}
Customerclass look like? What JAXB annotations do you use on it? – Artois
