Jersey client exception: A message body writer was not found

Question

I am using Jersey client to hit a PHP web service for image uploading functionality. I am getting the following exception:

Caused by: com.sun.jersey.api.clie         


        

Answer 1

Register the MultiPartWriter provider when creating the Client:

ClientConfig cc = new DefaultClientConfig();
Client client;

cc.getClasses().add(MultiPartWriter.class);
client = Client.create(cc);

If using Maven, these are the dependencies you need in your pom.xml:

    com.sun.jersey
    jersey-client
    1.17.1


    com.sun.jersey.contribs
    jersey-multipart
    1.17.1
