Java, JS : Tomcat refusing to call this method, unsupported media type

Question

I am working on a Spring-MVC application in which for this single method I am getting an error as Unsupported media type. None of the other methods have this problem. Any help would be nice. Thank you-.

Java Code :

@RequestMapping(value = "/setnotificationlevels")
    public
    @ResponseBody
    boolean setNotificationLevels(@RequestParam("groupid") long groupid, @RequestBody GroupMembers member) {
        System.out.println("Set notification levels is called. ");
        return this.groupMembersService.setNotificationLevels(member, groupid);
    }

JS code :

setEmailNotifications : function (groupid, settings){
            return $.ajax({
                url: "/setnotificationlevels?groupid=" + groupid,
                type: 'POST',
                cache:false,
                data : JSON.stringify(settings),
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8"
            });
        },

Error log :

description The server refused this request because the request entity is in a format not supported by the requested resource for the requested method.

Thank you.

Is your `member` parameter correctly set? See also [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19468572/spring-mvc-why-not-able-to-use-requestbody-and-requestparam-together) — barbsan, May 10 '17 at 11:26
I mean that 4th example from this link is similar to your case. Accepted answer there explains that data in `@RequestBody` is lost when you have both `@RequestBody` and `@RequestParam` specified. — barbsan, May 10 '17 at 12:15

tell your java code that its a post or get http methd:

@RequestMapping(value = url, method = RequestMethod.POST) public@ResponseBody StringOrAnyResponseObject fName(@RequestBody final Object o) {}

and in your js: in any function return $http.post(url,parameterMap);

What about request param? – We are Borg May 10 '17 at 11:33
u can put it in map and send it along and recieve in requestbody. – Vimal Didnt May 10 '17 at 11:35
Can you tell me how I can do that ? Thanks. – We are Borg May 10 '17 at 11:36
why do u need requestparam seperately? – Vimal Didnt May 10 '17 at 11:37
I don't, but I don't know how to put it inside a map, I don't know much abt JS. – We are Borg May 10 '17 at 11:38
in js: replace parameterMap with {'variableName1':data, 'variableName2':data} and in java replace Object o with Map object in side method u can get data=object.get('key'); – Vimal Didnt May 10 '17 at 11:38
Yes, this worked, but I dont understand why it didnt work with both of them in a single method – We are Borg May 10 '17 at 11:58
it will work u just have to tell js: which parameter is body which is params – Vimal Didnt May 10 '17 at 12:03

Try to add consumes = "application/json;charset=UTF-8" to @RequestMapping annotation.

its by default, no need to add the consumes since the default deserializer is Jackson – Amer Qarabsa May 10 '17 at 11:18
