415 Unsupported Media Type For Xml Post Rest Api

I am trying to Request for REST POST API with XML string but I am getting following error response.

Solution 1:

Did you try without charset="utf-8"?

(I couldn't leave a comment due to my low reputation)

Solution 2:

In your request you are specifying the communication to be soap-xml

httpRequest.setHeader("Content-Type","application/soap-xml;charset=UTF-8");

Try to specify to use plain xml by removing the "soap" part.

Valid xml content types:

"text/xml" or "application/xml"

Soap calls are very specifically formatted xml and from the response, unless you trimmed the output to remove all of the soap xml, it appears to be a plain xml service.

Solution 3:

If you use @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML) in your REST service then use content type as follows

httpRequest.setHeader("Content-Type","application/xml;");

Check you application using browser REST clients such as Curl, Advanced rest clent, etc.
