webservice @POST返回415不支持的媒体类型

Question

I made webservice on jboss-as-7, which works ok with @GET method, but when I tried to add @POST, I'm getting "415 Unsupported Media Type". After a lot of code tweaking on client & server side, now I'm just using REST client for testing. Am I missing here something?

webservice:

@Stateless
@LocalBean
@Path("/RESTService")
public class ReservationsResource {

    @EJB
    private ReservationsSB reservationsSB;

    @GET
    @Produces("application/xml")
    @Path("/reservation/{id}")
    public Reservations getReservation(@PathParam("id") int id) {
        return reservationsSB.getReservation(id);
    }

    @POST
    @Consumes("application/xml")
    @Path("/reservation/delete")
    public Response deleteReservation(Reservations r){
        edited = null;
        reservationsSB.deleteReservation(r);

        return Response.status(201).entity(r).build();
    }

entity:

@Entity
@XmlRootElement
@Table(name="reservations")
public class Reservations {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private int id;

    @Column
    private String date;
    private String owner;
    private int active;

    @ManyToOne
    private Tables table;

    public Reservations(String date, String owner, Tables table, int active) {
        super();
        this.date = date;
        this.owner = owner;
        this.table = table;
        this.active = active;
    }
        ...
}

REST client request: url: http://localhost:8080/BarBar/RESTService/reservation/delete body(same as is returned by getReservation()):

<reservations>
<active>1</active>
<date>2014-01-14 21:00:00.0</date>
<id>23</id>
<owner>dqf</owner>
<table>
<capacity>6</capacity>
<id>30</id>
<name>table 4</name>
</table>
</reservations>

Make sure to set your Content-Type and Accept headers to application/xml . Also, this isn't necessarily critical, but consider setting your method to @DELETE to use the appropriate REST semantics.
