Unsupported media type for REST POST

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22597316

Question

I have this VO

public class myVO {
    private final String latitude;
    private final String longtitude;
    private final String meterRadius;

    public myVO(String latitude, String longtitude, String meterRadius) {
        this.latitude = latitude;
        this.longtitude = longtitude;
        this.meterRadius = meterRadius;
    }

    public String getLatitude() {
        return latitude;
    }

    public String getLongtitude() {
        return longtitude;
    }

    public String getMeterRadius() {
        return meterRadius;
    }

}

And rest service

@Path("/listrs")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class MyResource {
    Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyResource.class);

    private final AtomicLong counter;

    public MyResource(String template, String defaultName) {
        //this.template = template;
        //this.defaultName = defaultName;
        this.counter = new AtomicLong();
    }

    @GET
    @Timed
    public List<ResultVO> getMyList() {
        List<ResultVO> list = new ArrayList<>();
        list.add(new ResultVO(counter.incrementAndGet(), "dummy text"));
        list.add(new ResultVO(counter.incrementAndGet(), "dummy text1"));
        return list;
    }

    @POST
    @Timed
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public List<ResultVO> getListByLoc(myVO loc) {
        logger.debug(loc.toString());
        return getMyList();
    }
}

Testing it using

curl -i -X POST -d '{"latitude": "2.3433", "longtitude": "23.2233", "meterRadius":"5"}' http://localhost:8080/listrs

Result I'm getting:

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: longtitude
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 23.2233,

Any idea what I am doing wrong? Im using dropwizard but I dont think it is relevant.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Add this with curl:

-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Another thing, you are possibly running this from windows pc. So wrap your json with double quote(") instead of single(')

-d "{\"latitude\": \"2.3433\", \"longtitude\": \"23.2233\", \"meterRadius\":\"5\"}"

Notice, I have escaped the inner quotes with \

Finally, use -v param with your curl. It will help you to see what curl is sending to the server.
