415--Unsupported Media Type in Spring - spring

Question

I am getting unsupported mediatype error.
My User Profile class looks like this
Class UserProfile{
private int age;
private String name,
private String currenecy;
}
And this is the method in controller
#RequestMapping(value = "/Create", method=RequestMethod.POST,consumes=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public ResponseEntity<UserProfileResponse> createUserProfile(#RequestBody UserProfile userProfile)
{
UserProfileResponse userProfileResponse = new UserProfileResponse();
int id = createUserProfileData(userProfile)
userProfileResponse.setId(id);
return new ResponseEntity<UserProfileResponse>(userProfileResponse,HTTPStatus.OK);
}
I am trying to send the request through POSTMAN but getting
Error 415--Unsupported Media Type
My Request in POstman looks like this
Content-Type:application/json
Accept:application/json
Method is : POST
{
"age":28,
"name":"Sam",
"currency": "INR"
}
Suggest me what I am missing?

Answer 1

Don't forget to select "JSON" format, filled in arbitrary JSON string in the textarea.
Also use either Accept or Content-type at a time.
If that doesn't work then can you check like below by removing consumes and adding headers manually.
#RequestMapping(value = "/Create", method=RequestMethod.POST, headers = "Accept=application/json",produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)

Answer 2

I could see the response coming back with your code. I am deliberately returning the same object just to test the connectivity. Following is my code:
#RequestMapping(value = "/create", method= RequestMethod.POST,consumes= MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public ResponseEntity<UserProfile> createUserProfile(#RequestBody UserProfile userProfile)
{
System.out.println("Got request");
return new ResponseEntity<>(userProfile, HttpStatus.OK);
}
Used getter and setter in UserProfile
public class UserProfile {
private int age;
private String name;
private String currenecy;
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getCurrenecy() {
return currenecy;
}
public void setCurrenecy(String currenecy) {
this.currenecy = currenecy;
}
}

Finally after after spending some time.. I figured out why it was not working.
In my java based spring configuration file I missed "#EnableWebMvc".
After adding it, my problem got resolved.
#Configuration
**#EnableWebMvc** // This annotation was missing.
#ComponentScan(basePackages="com.hemant.*")
public class TestConfiguration {}
