How to submit JSON data as request body in Apache CXF jax-rs (REST)

I am using Apache-CXF for creating REST web services and trying to submit a form.

Server: This is my method, which is expected to get json data.

@POST @Path("/addCustomer/") @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) //{"Customer":{"name":"Some Name","id":6}} public Customer addCustomer(Customer customer){ logger.debug(customer); return customer; }

Client: I am using firefox REST plugin for submitting request: Using REST client, I have posted following json as request body: {"Customer":{"name":"Arnav Awasthi","id":6}}

But I am getting "415: Unsupported Media Type".
