Hi Benson
Ideally @Consumes is specified, but it is not strictly required.
If it is not then providers will be asked in turn if they can
handle reading into a given object,
JAXBElementProvider will say yes if its class is XmlRootElement
annotated/etc.
In your case, it is a form submission, so given that no @Consumes is set,
all providers are checking the bean and just don't accept it.You can add a
@FormParam("") annotatation and it will fix it.
Adding @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED) should've fixed it
too, but it won't, unless you use MultivaluedMap as a method parameter.
Would make sense enhancing a form provider a bit - will look into it a bit
later
