How to pass text as input in a POST request body with Jax-RS

Use MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN in the @Consumes annotation and then you have access to the text content as string

 @POST @Path("organisation") @Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN) @ApiOperation(value = "Create bookmark from text") @ApiResponses({ @ApiResponse(code = 201, message = "Bookmark successfully created.", response = Bookmark.class), @ApiResponse(code = 403, message = "Forbidden") }) public Response createBookmark(@ApiParam("Bookmark") String boookmark, @Context UriInfo uriInfo) throws JAXBException { Bookmark created = bookmarkService.createBookmarkFromString(bookmark); UriBuilder builder = uriInfo.getAbsolutePathBuilder(); builder.path(created.getUuid().toString()); return Response.created(builder.build()).build(); }
