Unsupported media type for REST POST
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: 2.3433,
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.
Answer
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.
