HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException after upgrading to Spring 3.2

Question

After upgrading my Spring MVC application to Spring 3.2 I\'m getting the following exception when accessing some of my URLs:

org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTyp         


        

Answer 1

I have a similar issue where rest call to the controller is having path variable which contains .au in path value. Spring is reading .au as file extention due to spring Content Negotiation

REST GET call is http://localhost:8080/api/forgot-password/kk@kudeta.com.au due to .au in path variable Spring is throwing org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotAcceptableException

We have resolved it by turning off content based negotiation

@Configuration
public class ContentNegotiationConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter{
    @Override
    public void configureContentNegotiation(final 
     ContentNegotiationConfigurer configurer) {
        // Turn off suffix-based content negotiation
        configurer.favorPathExtension(false);
    }

}
