JAXRS client can't find message body writer

Question

I have a jaxrs client configured like this:

Answer 1

If you are using Jackson JSON library you need to add these xml tags to your application context.

<jaxrs:providers>
<bean id="jacksonProvider" class="org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJsonProvider" />
</jaxrs:providers>

If you are using any other library add that bean to the providers tag. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

This answers point me in the right direction, yet i had to add on two parts to make it work on web.xml

 <init-param>
        <param-name>jaxrs.providers</param-name>
        <param-value>
            org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider
            (writeXsiType=false)
        </param-value>
    </init-param>

And on the client call:

List<Object> providers = new ArrayList<>();
    // add custom providers if any
    providers.add(new JacksonJaxbJsonProvider());
    WebClient client = WebClient.create(ENDPOINT_ADDRESS,providers);

Answer 3

If you are consuming using javax.ws.rs.client.Client, please register the provider using client.register(new JacksonJsonProvider());
