the request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect when sending post requests
Solution 1
syntactically incorrect means problem with the json,please replace the single quote with double.
{"dependentId" : "1003",
"firstName" : "Vishu",
"lastName" : "poodari",
"birthDate" : "1970/04/15"
}
also check the json keys should match with your Dependent class attribute names, and the data should be convertible by the parser.
Solution 2
Error *The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect"** in most of the case means that jackson is not able to desalinize(convert json string to object) because default constructor is missing.
In your case there is missing default constructor, you have parameterized constructor which override default and jackson is not able create object
public Dependent(@JsonProperty("dependentId") String dependentId, @JsonProperty("firstName") String firstName, @JsonProperty("lastName")String lastName,
@JsonProperty("birthDate") String birthDate) { this.dependentId = dependentId;
this.firstName = firstName;
this.lastName = lastName;
this.birthDate = birthDate;
}
Add also default constructor into your class and everything will be working
public Dependent() {
}

Vishwa almost 4 years
The method in myController looks like this
@RequestMapping(value="/{processId}/dependents", method=RequestMethod.POST,consumes="application/json") @ResponseBody public Dependents postdependent(@ModelAttribute ProcessContext process,@RequestBody Dependent dependent) { return process.getDependents().addDependent(dependent); }
My gets and delete work perfectly. But whenever I do a post I am getting the request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect. JSON for post request:
"{ 'dependentId' : '1003', 'firstName' : 'Vishu', 'lastName' : 'poodari', 'birthDate' : '1970/04/15' }"
Please I tried all combinations by using single quotes, doubles quotes everything.
I am using rest-shell for doing the operations.
Please find my Dependent Class
public class Dependent { private String dependentId; private String firstName; private String lastName; private String birthDate; @JsonCreator public Dependent(@JsonProperty("dependentId") String dependentId, @JsonProperty("firstName") String firstName, @JsonProperty("lastName")String lastName, @JsonProperty("birthDate") String birthDate) { this.dependentId = dependentId; this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; this.birthDate = birthDate; } public String getDependentId() { return dependentId; } public void setDependentId(String dependentId) { this.dependentId = dependentId; } public String getFirstName() { return firstName; } public void setFirstName(String firstName) { this.firstName = firstName; } public String getLastName() { return lastName; } public void setLastName(String lastName) { this.lastName = lastName; } public String getBirthDate() { return birthDate; } public void setBirthDate(String birthDate) { this.birthDate = birthDate; } }

Vishwa about 10 yearsThanks for the response. I corrected my json and when i changed the log level to debug, it showed i am missing empty constructor. Now it works, Thanks all.

abosancic over 7 yearsThis error is occurring because default constructor missing in class add default constructor and everything will be working public Dependent() { }
