The JAX-RS : Client API is unable to handle response content type "text/plain".
The proxy client throws a ClientWebApplicationException
when the service call is made:
org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.ClientWebApplicationException: .No message body
reader has been found for class : class
com.sears.forgotpassword.ForgotPassword, ContentType : text/plain.

RESPONSE CONTENT TYPE: text/plain
RESPONSE CONTENT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<ForgotPassword>
<StatusData>
<ResponseCode>0</ResponseCode>
<RespMessage><![CDATA[Action is successful.Please check your
email account for instructions on how to choose your new
password.]]></RespMessage>
</StatusData>
<ServiceHeaders>

</ServiceHeaders>
</ForgotPassword>
Here are the detailed steps you need to follow in order to reproduce the bug:
1. Define a REST client service class that points to a RESTful web service
that returns content type "text/plain"
CLASS: import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.POST;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.QueryParam;
import com.sears.forgotpassword.ForgotPassword;
public interface SHCAPIProfileService {
@Path("/shcapi/ForgotPassword") @GET
public ForgotPassword forgotPassword(@QueryParam("email") String
email,
@QueryParam("appID") String
appID,
@QueryParam("authID") String
authID,
@QueryParam("store") String
store,
@QueryParam("catalogId") String
catalogId,
@QueryParam("langId") String
langId);
}
2. Add the service class to your Spring configuration file as a CXF JAX-RS
client bean. Configure the bean to accept content type
"text/plain":
<jaxrs:client id="shcapiProfileService"
address="https://webservices.sears.com:";
serviceClass="com.sears.mobilegateway.service.SHCAPIProfileService"
inheritHeaders="true">
<jaxrs:headers>
<entry key="Accept" value="text/plain"/>
<entry key="Accept" value="text/xml"/>
</jaxrs:headers>
</jaxrs:client>
3. Use a Spring ApplicationContext to reference an instance of the client
service bean in your code:
ApplicationContext applicationContext = new
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("spring-business-context.xml");
SHCAPIProfileService shcapiProfileService =
(SHCAPIProfileService)applicationContext.getBean("shcapiProfileService");
4. Call the "forgotPassword" service method on the service class:
ForgotPassword responseObj = shcapiProfileService.forgotPassword(LOGIN_ID,
APP_ID, AUTH_ID, STORE, CATALOG_ID, LANG_ID);
5. The following ClientWebApplicationException is thrown when JAXB tries to
unmarshall the response content into the "ForgotPassword" Java object:
org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.ClientWebApplicationException: .No message body
reader has been found for class : class
com.sears.forgotpassword.ForgotPassword, ContentType : text/plain.

org.apache.cxf.jaxrs.client.ClientProxyImpl.handleResponse(ClientProxyImpl.java:527)

at $Proxy16.forgotPassword(Unknown Source)
at
com.sears.mobilegateway.test.SHCAPIProfileServiceTest.testForgotPassword(SHCAPIProfileServiceTest.java:231)
NOTE: This exception should not occur since we configured the service class to
accept content type "text/plain" in step 2.
I tried work arounds such as customizing the proxy by running the
following code before making the client service call:
WebClient.client(shcapiProfileService).accept("text/plain");
However these had no effect. The same error occurs.
