Tengo una aplicación con Spring 3.0.5.RELEASE tratando de obtener el contenido completo de una publicación usando @RequestBody. Se llama al método, pero la cadena pasada siempre está vacía. He comprobado, al colocar puntos de interrupción, que se llama al StringHttpMessageConverter, pero el HttpInputMessage interno está vacío.

He visto este problema con Jetty y Tomcat, así que descarto que sea un problema con el contenedor.

Aquí está mi controlador de muestra:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class SubscriptionController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "/requestbody", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView mycustomAction(@RequestBody String body) {

        // body is always empty
        Logger.getLogger(this.getClass()).debug("REQUEST BODY '" + body + "'");
        return new ModelAndView("empty");
    }
}

El contexto de mi aplicación se define de la siguiente manera:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

Estoy probando esto usando curl de la siguiente manera:

curl -d asd = 123 -d qwe = 456http: // localhost: 8080 / requestbody

Cualquier idea o ayuda es más que bienvenida!
