Hello,
I am new to REST , and I am trying to figure out why it gives me a return status code of 406.
Please help me to shed some light into this.

I have create a web dynamic project called RestSimpleApp. It contains three sample programs in three different packages as follow :




I was able to view the result of my order through the web browser as http://localhost:8080/RestSimpleApp/rest/orders. However, I got the return reponse status of 406 when I tried to call it from a client program which I have created in another web dynamic project as follow




I am awared that I may miss some important things but I could not figure out, so please help me if you can.

Thanks so much in advance,

Tom

What's the Accept header on the request? 406 usually means that you've asked for a media type that isn't possible to generate.

It looks look your service is limited to XML and JSON.

Thanks so much Bear. It worked when I change my request to MediaType.APPLICATION_XML or MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON. I remember now to pay attention to the accept header of the request.
