jaxrs client parameter No message body writer has been found for class

[Sergio Morales]

I have a jaxrs client that needs to consume with POST request a service.

Method client: 

public FavoritesResponse getFavorites(String userid) {

    WebClient webClient = WebClient.create("myserver/myservice")
            .path(service)
            .type(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_TYPE);

    setTimeouts(webClient, connectionTimeout, receiveTimeout);

    FavoritesRequest request = new FavoritesRequest();
    request.setUserid(userid);

    Response wsResponse = webClient.post(request);

    FavoritesResponse favoritesResponse = new FavoritesResponse();
    favoritesResponse.setStatus(String.valueOf(wsResponse.getStatus()));
    return favoritesResponse;
}

Looks like the parameter is not properly understood by jaxson...

this is the class that is used as payload:

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.XmlRootElement;
import java.io.Serializable;

@XmlRootElement
public class FavoritesRequest implements Serializable {

    private String userid;

    public FavoritesRequest() {
    }

    public String getUserid() {
        return userid;
    }

    public void setUserid(String userid) {
        this.userid = userid;
    }
}
