RESTEasy & JAXB: "BadRequestException: Could not find message body for type ..."

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I have a JAXB-annotated class as a resource.
  • We're getting an error about not being able to find the appropriate message body reader

    org.jboss.resteasy.spi.BadRequestException: Could not find message body reader for type: class com.mstr.outbound.CallItem of content type: application/xml
    at org.jboss.resteasy.core.MessageBodyParameterInjector$1.createReaderNotFound(MessageBodyParameterInjector.java:73)

    at org.jboss.resteasy.core.MessageBodyParameterInjector.inject(MessageBodyParameterInjector
    
  • We have a POST method wheren we want the body to be an xml representation of a single argument.

            @POST
         @Path("{subId}/{siteId}/immediate")
         @Produces("application/xml")
         @Consumes("application/xml")
         public ExampleResource resourceCall(CallItem callItem, @HeaderParam(value = "X-forwarded-for") String remoteIP,
                   @QueryParam("apiKey") String token, @PathParam("siteId") String siteId) throws RemoteException, ValidationException
         {
