java - Error: org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException: Content type 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8' not supported

Question

I'm newbie in Spring Data. I keep getting the error: org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException: Content type 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8' not supported I've tried to change consumes inside @RequestMapping annotation to text/plain but unfortunately it didn't help.*

Any ideas?

Thanks,

My Code looks like this:

package com.budget.processing.application;


import com.budget.business.service.Budget;
import com.budget.business.service.BudgetItem;
import com.budget.business.service.BudgetService;
import com.budget.processing.dto.BudgetDTO;
import com.budget.processing.dto.BudgetPerConsumerDTO;
import com.utils.Constants;
import com.common.utils.config.exception.GeneralException;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.joda.time.YearMonth;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Propagation;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;


@Controller("budgetManager")
@RequestMapping(value = "budget", produces  = Constants.RESPONSE_APP_JSON)
@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED)
public class BudgetManager {

private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(BudgetManager.class);


@Autowired
private BudgetService budgetService;


@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public
@ResponseBody
Collection<BudgetDTO> getBudgetMonthlyAllConsumers() throws GeneralException {

    List<Budget> budgetList = budgetService.getBudgetForAllConsumers();
    List<BudgetDTO> bugetDtos = new ArrayList<>();
    for (Budget budget : budgetList) {
        BudgetDTO budgetDTO = generateBudgetDto(budget);
        bugetDtos.add(budgetDTO);
    }
    return bugetDtos;
}


@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PUT, consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public
@ResponseBody
Collection<BudgetDTO> updateConsumerBudget(@RequestParam(value = "budgetPerDate", required = false)

                          ArrayList<BudgetPerConsumerDTO> budgetPerDate) throws GeneralException, ParseException {

    List<BudgetItem> budgetItemList = new ArrayList<>();
    List<Budget> budgets = new ArrayList<>();
    if (budgetPerDate != null) {
        for (BudgetPerConsumerDTO budgetPerConsumerDTO : budgetPerDate) {
            budgetItemList.add(budgetService.createBudgetItemForConsumer(budgetPerConsumerDTO.getId(), new YearMonth(budgetPerConsumerDTO.getDate()), budgetPerConsumerDTO.getBudget()));
        }
    }

    budgets = budgetService.getBudgetForAllConsumers();
    List<BudgetDTO> budgetDTOList = new ArrayList<>();
    for (Budget budget : budgets) {
        BudgetDTO budgetDto = generateBudgetDto(budget);
        budgetDTOList.add(budgetDto);
    }
    return budgetDTOList;

}

}

Here is the exception I get:

Answer 1

Building on what is mentioned in the comments, the simplest solution would be:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PUT, consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
@ResponseBody
public Collection<BudgetDTO> updateConsumerBudget(@RequestBody SomeDto someDto) throws GeneralException, ParseException {

    //whatever

}

class SomeDto {

   private List<WhateverBudgerPerDateDTO> budgetPerDate;


  //getters setters
}

The solution assumes that the HTTP request you are creating actually has

Content-Type:application/json instead of text/plain
