[FIXED] Getting 415 Unsupported Media Type in spring boot

Issue

Method in controller

    @RequestMapping(value = "/reactEmployee", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = "application/json")
    public String addEmployeereact(@RequestBody EmployeeEntity employeeEntity)
    {
        employeeManager.addEmployee(employeeEntity);
        return "redirect:/";
    }

Json input from Postman Json input and 415 error in Postman

Solution

After looking at github link I found that jackson needs to be specified in pom.xml

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
            <version>2.10.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-annotations -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-annotations</artifactId>
            <version>2.10.1</version>
        </dependency>
        <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.fasterxml.jackson.core/jackson-core -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
            <artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.10.1</version>
        </dependency>
