406 when trying to resolve xml

[John Eric Hamacher]

Hello:

My REST service looks like this:

	@RequestMapping(value="/get/{district}/{wsn}", method=RequestMethod.GET, headers={"Accept=text/xml"})
	public @ResponseBody LookupResult lookup(@PathVariable String wsn, @PathVariable String district) {
		System.err.println(wsn= " + wsn + "  district = " + district);
		LookupResult lr = new LookupResult(true);
		return lr;
	}

I send the following URL:

http://localhost::9081/contextroot/SIMS/get/2828/1234567890.xml

which has an Accept header of "text/xml"

My view resolver looks like:

<bean class= "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver"> <property name="mediaTypes"> <map> <entry key="xml" value="text/xml" /> </map> </property> <property name="defaultContentType" value="text/xml" /> </bean>

I get a 406 response. I've tried to make it as explicit as possible that I want XML returned. Does anybody spot a problem?

THanks
Eric

When I googled for the HTTP Accept header, the link I found (from Wikipedia) suggested it should look like "Accept: text/xml". Yours doesn't quite look like that.

Thanks, all I needed to do is use JAXB annotations in the object I wanted to convert.
