android media_type_image,android - Retrofit image upload returns 415 Unsupported Media Type - Stack ...

I have a REST Resource using JBoss & RestEasy as follows

@Path(ServiceURL.MEDIA)

public class ImageUploadService {

@POST

@Consumes({APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM})

public Response upload(@QueryParam("contenttype") String contentType, InputStream input, @Context HttpServletRequest request) throws IOException {

...

}

}

and a Retrofit interface in an Android project as follows:

public interface ImageUploadService {

@Multipart

@POST(ServiceURL.BASE + ServiceURL.MEDIA)

public Response upload(@Query("contenttype") String contentType, @Part("image") TypedByteArray input);

}

which is invoked via

ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();

bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG, 0, bos);

byte[] bitmapData = bos.toByteArray();

RestAdapter ra = new RestAdapter.Builder()

.setEndpoint(hostURL)

.setClient(new MediaClient())

.build();

ImageUploadService imageUploadService = ra.create(ImageUploadService.class);

TypedByteArray typedByteArray = new TypedByteArray(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM, bitmapData);

imageUploadService.upload("image/png", typedByteArray);

and the MediaClient is

public class MediaClient extends OkClient {

@Override

protected HttpURLConnection openConnection(Request request) throws IOException {

HttpURLConnection connection = super.openConnection(request);

connection.setRequestMethod(request.getMethod());

connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM);

return connection;

}

}

However the service returns a 415 Unsupported Media Type and the method body of the service resource is not invoked, implying RestEasy is rejecting the request.

Any ideas?
