Answer 1

You have to tell Spring what input content-type is supported by your service. You can do this with the "consumes" Annotation Element that corresponds to your request's "Content-Type" header.

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = {"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"})

It would be helpful if you posted your code.
