I am a bit confused about an error message in Jersey 1.4.
I am PUTting a XML into a method that is marked as @Consumes(<some
custom mime type>). The content variable is marked as XMLRootElement. As
I forgot to provide the Content-Type header with the PUT, it is clear
that Jersey complains about my fault, but what confuses me is the error
message's explanation. Below you can see the (correct) complaint, but
look down to the list of registered providers for ANY (*/*) content
type. It does contain XMLRootElementProvider. So I understand that even
with no mime provided, Jersey would be able to find that provider, but
it actually does not use it...?
Can someone shed some light on that? I understand what my fault is, I
just don't understand why Jersey lists XMLRootElementProvider for */*
but doesn't actually use it in this case.
