REST POST controller saying: Could not read JSON: No content to map due to end-of-input

I'm doing an integration test against a REST controller POST handler. Well, I'm trying to.

It gives me the HttpMessageNotReadableException exception: Could not read JSON: No content to map due to end-of-input

Here is my controller:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("admin")
public class AdminController {

    private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AdminController.class);

    private static final String TEMPLATE = "Hello, %s!";

    @Autowired 
    private AdminService adminService;

    @Autowired
    private AdminRepository adminRepository;

    @RequestMapping(value = "crud", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "application/json; charset=utf-8")
    @ResponseBody
    public ResponseEntity<Admin> add(@RequestBody Admin admin, UriComponentsBuilder builder) {
        AdminCreatedEvent adminCreatedEvent = adminService.add(new CreateAdminEvent(admin.toEventAdmin()));
        Admin createdAdmin = Admin.fromEventAdmin(adminCreatedEvent.getEventAdmin());
        HttpHeaders responseHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
        responseHeaders.add("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=utf-8");
        responseHeaders.setLocation(builder.path("/admin/{id}").buildAndExpand(adminCreatedEvent.getAdminId()).toUri());
        return new ResponseEntity<Admin>(createdAdmin, responseHeaders, HttpStatus.CREATED);
    }

    @ExceptionHandler(HttpMessageNotReadableException.class)
    @ResponseBody
    public String handleException(HttpMessageNotReadableException e) {
        return e.getMessage();
    }

}

The base test class:

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@WebAppConfiguration
@ContextConfiguration( classes = { ApplicationConfiguration.class, WebSecurityConfig.class, WebConfiguration.class, WebTestConfiguration.class })
@Transactional
public abstract class AbstractControllerTest {

    @Autowired
    private WebApplicationContext webApplicationContext;

    @Autowired
    private FilterChainProxy springSecurityFilterChain;

    protected MockHttpSession session;

    protected MockHttpServletRequest request;

    protected MockMvc mockMvc;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        this.mockMvc = MockMvcBuilders.webAppContextSetup(this.webApplicationContext).addFilters(this.springSecurityFilterChain).build();
    }

}

The integration test:

@Test
public void testAdd() throws Exception {
    HttpHeaders httpHeaders = Common.createAuthenticationHeaders("stephane" + ":" + "mypassword");
    this.mockMvc.perform(
        post("/admin/crud").headers(httpHeaders)
        .param("firstname", "Stephane")
        .param("lastname", "Eybert")
        .param("login", "stephane")
        .param("password", "toto")
    ).andDo(print())
    .andExpect(
        status().isOk()
    ).andReturn();
}

What the console log has to say:

Any clue?

In my opinion the problem is with content format. Your endpoint expect that data will be sent as application/json but in test you send it as application/x-www-form-urlencoded (it doesn't matter that you set proper content type header in request). Try to send admin object in json format (as a body of a request):

{
 "firstname" : "Stephane",
 "lastname" : "Eybert",
 "login" : "stephane",
 "password" : "toto"
}

BTW the /admin/crud does not fallow REST resource addressing rules, you should change it to /admin. The crud (CREATE, READ, UPDATE, DELETE) will map to HTTP methods (POST, GET, PUT, DELETE)
