Internal Server Error on unsupported content-type - spring

Question

I've built a REST endpoint which consumes and produces application/json using Spring and Apache CXF 2.5.
#POST
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response search(MyPostedObject obj) {
...
}
With config:
<jaxrs:server id="myEndPoint" address="/myendpoint" >
<jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<ref bean="myrestservice" />
</jaxrs:serviceBeans>
<jaxrs:providers>
<bean class="org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJsonProvider"/>
</jaxrs:providers>
</jaxrs:server>
When I send a request (with a REST client app) using an unsupported content-type such as application/xml, I get an internal server error. I would expect a 405 since the endpoint does not support any other content-type. Why would I be getting this exception?

Answer 1

I believe I found the answer. I am using version 2.5.11 of Apache CXF, and it appears that it may not be fully compliant with javax.ws.rs-api 2.0. Instead I switched to jsr311-api and everything works as excepted now.
