415 Unsupported Media Type in API to setup pilot profile for a registered user (/api/pilot)

[lenikhilsingh]

The data format for API : /api/pilot, as suggested in this docs seems wrong, Because i get the error: 415 Unsupported Media Type error.

Also, i looked up the code for addPilot here:

	@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST, consumes = MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_VALUE, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public ResponseEntity<?> addPilot(
@RequestParam(value = "trainingCertificateDocument", required = false) MultipartFile trainingCertificateDocument,
@RequestParam(value = "pilotPayload") String pilotPayload
) {
try {

Pilot pilot = objectMapper.readValue(pilotPayload, Pilot.class);

validator.validate(pilot);

pilot.setTrainingCertificate(trainingCertificateDocument);
pilot.setTrainingCertificateDocName(resolveFileName(trainingCertificateDocument));

UserPrincipal userPrincipal = UserPrincipal.securityContext();

pilot.setResourceOwnerId(userPrincipal.getId());
pilot.setName(userPrincipal.getUsername());
pilot.setEmail(userPrincipal.getEmail());
Pilot savedPilotInstance = pilotService.createNewPilot(pilot);
return new ResponseEntity<>(savedPilotInstance, HttpStatus.CREATED);
} catch (PilotProfileAlreadyExist e) {
return new ResponseEntity<>(new Errors(e.getMessage()), HttpStatus.CONFLICT);

} catch (IOException e) {
return new ResponseEntity<>(new Errors("Bad Request"), HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
}
}

And, as you can see, this API expects two values trainingCertificateDocument and pilotPayload both of which are not present in the example data format for this particular API.

Kindly, comment if i am missing something.
