Jersey not able to map json request to class

问题:

I m able to run Jersey with Json output and able to get "GET" requests with JSon mapping without any problems.

I was also having some JSON methods which were "POST" methods and they are mapping to Java classes like in this method -

@POST
@Consumes({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON})
@Produces({MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN})
@Path("/post")
public String postPerson(Person pers) 

For your reference I m following the guide here or here

On giving a valid post request on these, they all started to throw the below error -

My maven dependencies, pom.xml is file at the end of the question -

exception

The Person class -

  @JsonInclude(Include.NON_EMPTY)
public class Person {    
private String firstName;
private String lastName;
public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
}
public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
}
public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
}
public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
}
}

The data I m sending using postman(Chrome extension) is in like -

From the looks of the postman screenshot, it looks like you are sending over form-data, when you are actually wanting json (unless this is a new way you can input post data into POSTMAN. I just tried and could only input form-data this way).

Go to postman, click on the body tab, click the raw radio button, then choose application/json from the dropdown menu on the right. From there, input your body as json, which would look something like:

{"firstName": "Bill", "lastName": "Loney"}
