Jersey Exception : SEVERE: A message body reader for Java class

To make it work you only need two things. Check if you are missing:

First of all, you need @XmlRootElement annotation for your object class/entity.

You need to add dependency for jersey-json if you are missing.For your reference I added this dependency into my pom.xml.

<dependency>    <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>    <artifactId>jersey-json</artifactId>    <version>1.17.1</version></dependency>

java json rest jersey

I was able to fix the issue by adding the maven dependency for jersey-json.

java json rest jersey

just put this

    <init-param>        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature</param-name>        <param-value>true</param-value>    </init-param>
