java - Sending application/xml POST message to REST API doesn't work -

this post method jax-rs annotations:

@post @consumes(mediatype.application_xml) @produces(mediatype.text_plain) public response storeuser(user user) {     boolean wasstored = jpauserstore.storeuser(user);     if (wasstored) {       return response.ok("user stored.").build();    } else {       return response.status(status.bad_request).build();       }  } 

and class user jaxb annotations:

@xmlrootelement @xmlaccessortype(xmlaccesstype.field) public user {    @xmlelement(name = "name")   protected string name;    @xmlelement(name = "address")   protected string address;    public void setname(string name) {      this.name = name;   }    public string getname() {      return this.name;   }    public void setaddress(string address) {      this.address = address;   }    public string getaddress() {      return this.address;   }  } 

the rest web service runs on jetty. when send request message (using restclient firefox plugin) content type "application/xml" , body

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <user>     <name>max</name>     <address>main street 12</address>  </user> 

to appropriate resource 400 bad request returned. according log method jpauserstore.storeuser(...) not executed.

what reason, why method annotated @post not executed , ok returned?

by default root element user class user, need use @xmlrootelement(name="user") match xml document.
