mediatype.text_html,java - request MediaType "application/json" but received "text/html" - Stack Ove...

I have the following get request to a RESTful web service:

List entries = client.target("http://localhost:8080/MMServer/webresources/shopping/getEntries")

.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

.get()

.readEntity(new GenericType>() {});

and the corresponding resource

@GET

@Path("getEntries")

@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)

public List getShoppingBundle() {

List shoppingEntries = new ArrayList<>();

List shoppingList = super.findAll();

ShoppingEntry entry;

for (Shopping s: shoppingList) {

entry = new ShoppingEntry();

entry.setName(s.getIdperson().getFirstname());

entry.setDate(s.getDate());

entry.setAmount(s.getAmount());

entry.setStore(s.getStore());

shoppingEntries.add(entry);

}

return shoppingEntries;

}

The problem: Sometimes the program runs without error and everything is alright. But most of the time i get the following exception:

org.glassfish.jersey.message.internal.MessageBodyProviderNotFoundException: MessageBodyReader not found for media type=text/html, type=interface java.util.List, genericType=java.util.List.

which says: "type=text/html" what should be the cause. How can this happen?

My dependencies are:

org.glassfish.jersey.core

jersey-client

2.26

org.glassfish.jersey.inject

jersey-hk2
