When issuing an HTTP DELETE request, the request URI should completely identify the resource to delete. However, is it allowable to add extra meta-data as part of the entity
Might be the below GitHUb url will help you, to get the answer. Actually, Application Server like Tomcat, Weblogic denying the HTTP.DELETE call with request payload. So keeping these all things in mind, I have added example in github,please have a look into that
