POST JSON in body request with Jersey

I have a dynamic web project in Java (deployed on a local application server Tomcat 7) which uses Jersey for creating REST APIs.

I do not use any build automation tools (so my libraries are added to the build path and the servlet is inserted in the web.xml file).

The libraries that I am using are:

asm-3.1.jar
gson-2.2.1.jar
jersey-client-1.0.3.jar
jersey-core-1.0.3.jar
jersey-json-1.18.jar
jersey-server-1.0.3.jar
jettison-1.1.jar
jsr311-api-1.0.jar
mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar

My web.xml is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
  <display-name>UserAccount</display-name>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>ServletAdaptor</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.server.impl.container.servlet.ServletAdaptor</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature</param-name>
            <param-value>true</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>ServletAdaptor</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

The application is interacting with a MySQL database. The scenario is the following: The database contains a user account table called users. The columns are id, name, username and password.

I have a POST method for verifying if an account (username + password) are valid. (username and password passed as header params) http://localhost:8080/UserAccount/rest/login/doLogin and the headers: username: x password: 1234

@POST
@Path("/doLogin")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) 
public String doLogin(@HeaderParam("username") String uname, @HeaderParam("password") String pwd){
    String response = "";
    if(checkCredentials(uname, pwd)){
        response = Utility.constructJSON("login",true);
    }else{
        response = Utility.constructJSON("login", false, "Incorrect Email or Password");
    }
return response;        
}

As you can see, the response will produce a JSON with true or false, based if the user account is valid or not. And up to now it works fine. It works fine also doing a GET and passing the params as query params (but that it's not the point).

Now I am trying to do a POST but this time passing the username and password in a JSON body:

{
    "username":"x",
    "password":"1234"
}

For this I have created a class called User.java:

@XmlRootElement()
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD)
public class User implements Serializable {
    /**
     * 
     */
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    @XmlElement(name="username")
    private String username;

    @XmlElement(name="password")
    private String password;

    public String getUsername() {
        return username;
    }

    public String getPassword() {
        return password;
    }

    public void setUsername(String username) {
        this.username = username;
    }

    public void setPassword(String password) {
        this.password = password;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return "username: " + username;
    }
}

And I have created a method:

    //pass the arguments as JSON body
@POST
// Path: http://localhost:8080/UserAccount/rest/login/asklogin
@Path("/askLogin")
// Produces JSON as response
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response askLogin(User user) {
    System.out.println("Inside POST askLogin");
    if(checkCredentials(user.getUsername(), user.getPassword())) {
        return Response.ok().build();
    } else {
        return Response.serverError().build();
    }
}

I am testing the API by using Advanced Rest Client from Google Chrome and REST Easy from Firefox.

I have also created a class which implements the MessageBodyReader as follows:

@Provider
public class UserBeanMessageBodyReader implements MessageBodyReader<User> {

    //used for MessageBodyReader
    @Override
    public boolean isReadable(Class<?> type, Type genericType, Annotation[] annotations,
            MediaType mediaType) {
        return type == User.class;
    }

    @Override
    public User readFrom(Class<User> type, Type genericType, Annotation[] annotations,
            MediaType mediaType, MultivaluedMap<String, String> httpHeaders,
            InputStream entityStream) throws IOException, WebApplicationException {
        try {
            JAXBContext jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(User.class);
            User user = (User) jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(entityStream);
            return user;
        } catch (JAXBException jaxbException) {
            jaxbException.printStackTrace();
            System.out.println("Error deserializing a User" + jaxbException);
        }
        return null;
    }
}

After debugging, the issue is coming here:

User user = (User) jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(entityStream);

and it goes on the catch statement.

The stacktrace is the following:

You should tell Jersey to use Gson for JSON handling. You can do this implementing the MessageBodyReader and MessageBodyWriter interfaces provided by Jersey. In this stackoverflow question you can find an example (see the accepted answer). If you want to add some context to it, take a look at the JSON section of the Jersey 1.x manual

EDIT : I may not be understanding your code, but where is the call to Gson in your UserBeanMessageBodyReader? Try chaging the reaedFrom method with something along the lines of

String result = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(entityStream))
                 .lines().collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
Gson gson = new GSon();
User myUser = gson.fromJson(result, User.class);

instead of using JAXBContext (which afaict understands only XML inputs).
