400 Bad Request using RestTemplete and postForObject - spring

Question

i'm building two applications using Spring 3.The first one is meant to be rest API and the second is a client.The client must create a reservation. I'm getting 400 Bad Request error,please help.
The class Reservation in the client app:
package ma.ensias.agencecentrale.entities;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Collection;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.JoinTable;
import javax.persistence.ManyToMany;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnore;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonProperty;
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown=true)
#Entity
#Table(name="reservations")
public class Reservation implements Serializable{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long idReservation;
private String date;
#ManyToOne
#JoinColumn(name="id_utilisateur")
private Utilisateur utilisateur;
#JsonIgnore
#ManyToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinTable(name="passager_reservation", joinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_reservation"), inverseJoinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_passager"))
private Collection<Passager> passagers;
#JsonIgnore
#ManyToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinTable(name="vol_reservation", joinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_reservation"), inverseJoinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_vol"))
private Collection<Vol> vols;
// Contructor without fields
public Reservation() {
super();
}
// contructor with date attribute
public Reservation(String date) {
super();
this.date = date;
}
// ----------------------- Getters and setters-------------------------------
public String getDate() {
return date;
}
public void setDate(String date) {
this.date = date;
}
#JsonProperty(value="client")
public Utilisateur getUtilisateur() {
return utilisateur;
}
public void setUtilisateur(Utilisateur utilisateur) {
this.utilisateur = utilisateur;
}
public Collection<Vol> getVols() {
return vols;
}
public void setVols(Collection<Vol> vols) {
this.vols = vols;
}
public Long getIdReservation() {
return idReservation;
}
}
the rest Client :
//-------------------Create a Reservation--------------------------------------------------------
#RequestMapping("/ajouterReservation")
private static void ajouterReservation(Reservation reservation) {
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
Reservation addedRes = restTemplate.postForObject(REST_SERVICE_URI,reservation, Reservation.class);
}
And the class Reservation in provider app:
package ma.ensias.agencevoyage.entities;
import java.io.Serializable;
import java.util.Collection;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.JoinTable;
import javax.persistence.ManyToMany;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnore;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonIgnoreProperties;
import org.codehaus.jackson.annotate.JsonProperty;
#JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown=true)
#Entity
#Table(name="reservations")
public class Reservation implements Serializable{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long idReservation;
private String date;
#ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinColumn(name="id_client")
private Client client;
#JsonIgnore
#ManyToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinTable(name="passager_reservation", joinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_reservation"), inverseJoinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_passager"))
private Collection<Passager> passagers;
#JsonIgnore
#ManyToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinTable(name="vol_reservation", joinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_reservation"), inverseJoinColumns=#JoinColumn(name="id_vol"))
private Collection<Vol> vols;
// Contructor without fields
public Reservation() {
super();
}
// contructor with date attribute
public Reservation(String date) {
super();
this.date = date;
}
// ----------------------- Getters and setters-------------------------------
public String getDate() {
return date;
}
public void setDate(String date) {
this.date = date;
}
public Client getClient() {
return client;
}
public void setClient(Client client) {
this.client = client;
}
public Collection<Passager> getPassagers() {
return passagers;
}
public void setPassagers(Collection<Passager> passagers) {
this.passagers = passagers;
}
public Collection<Vol> getVols() {
return vols;
}
public void setVols(Collection<Vol> vols) {
this.vols = vols;
}
}
and the controller is :
//-------------------Create a Reservation--------------------------------------------------------
#RequestMapping(value = "/ajouterReservation", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes="application/json")
public ResponseEntity<String> ajouterReservation(#RequestBody Reservation reservation) {
metier.ajouterReservation(reservation);
return new ResponseEntity(HttpStatus.CREATED);
}
I also tested the provider using post man and it is working.
The error i'm getting is below :
GRAVE: Servlet.service() for servlet [appServlet] in context with path [/agencecentrale] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.web.client.HttpClientErrorException: 415 Type de Support Non Supporté] with root cause

Answer 1

Root cause : Problem is with content type set in the provider controller:
#RequestMapping(value = "/ajouterReservation", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes="application/json")
public ResponseEntity<String> ajouterReservation(#RequestBody Reservation reservation)
Solution 1: remove consumes="application/json" in the handler method
Solution 2 : Set the headers accordingly before making the rest call and make use of exchange method of RestTemplate like below :
RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
HttpHeaders headers=new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Content-Type", "application/json");
HttpEntity requestEntity=new HttpEntity(reservation, headers);
Reservation addedRes = restTemplate.exchange(REST_SERVICE_URI, HttpMethod.POST,requestEntity,Reservation.class);
