Following is the code of my example :

@Path("/loginPoint")
@Service
public class UserService {

@Resource(name= "commanUserService")
private CommanUserService commanUserService;

@POST
@Path("/login")
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Response login(LoginRequest request){
    System.out.println("Hello In web Services >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ");
    LoginResponse  response = commanUserService.getUserloginInformation(request);
    return Response.status(Status.OK).entity(response).build();
 }
}

LoginRequest.java file code :

@XmlRootElement(name="loginRequest")
public class LoginRequest {
private String userName;
private String password;

@XmlElement("userName")
public String getUserName() {
    return userName;
}
public void setUserName(String userName) {
    this.userName = userName;
}

@XmlElement("password")
public String getPassword() {
    return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
    this.password = password;
 }
}

I suppose that problem is in mapping JSON request parameters with LoginRequest entity, but i am not sure.

Answer 1

The issue was a mismatch between Jackson versions.

Answer 2

When using jackson-core-asl dependency with jackson-mapper-asl becareful on choosing same version.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
        <version>${jackson.version}</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
        <artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
        <version>${jackson.version}</version>
    </dependency>
