415 - Unsupported Media Type in HelloWorld example

[Stefan]

I downloaded Grails 2.1.0. I did everything exactly as said on 

http://code.google.com/p/grails-jaxrs/wiki/GettingStarted

As stated in section Use the REST API I try to send POST request to create a new user.

POST /hello/api/person HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/xml
Host: localhost:8080
Content-Length: 82

<person>
  <firstName>Sam</firstName>
  <lastName>Hill</lastName>
</person>

I get an HTTP Status 415 - Unsupported Media Type error. What am I doing wrong??

Hi Stefan,

does it work with Grails 2.0.x for you?

Hi Martin

I just tried with Grails 2.0.4. I get the same 415 Tomcat error.

I'm using ~$ lwp-request -m POST http://localhost:8080/hello/api/person < post.txt

I tried to send the request using the Postman plugin for Google Chrome. There I get a 500 - Internal Server Error error (attachment).

Hi Stefan,

try to specify the content type with lwp-request -c 'application/xml' ... If this doesn't work, I'll take a closer look when I'm back from vacation.

Cheers,
Martin

I got it now. I just put the XML/JSON part as content.

~$ lwp-request -c 'application/json' -m POST http://localhost:8080/hello/api/person < post.txt

where post.txt only contains

<person>
  <firstName>Sam</firstName>
  <lastName>Hill</lastName>
</person>

I had the header too -> 500 - Internal Server Error

POST /hello/api/person HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/xml
Accept: application/xml
Host: localhost:8080
Content-Length: 82

<person>
  <firstName>Sam</firstName>
  <lastName>Hill</lastName>
</person>

Thx for your help!

Hi Martin

Thx for your response. If I specify application/xml I get the same error as with the Postman plugin. I'm having this behavior on an Ubuntu 11.10 and on my OS X (Snow Leopard). Can I give you more information that might help you?

Cheers,

Stefan
