Thanks Mike,

I did just try that content type but the post still failed.

Snippet from log:

Content-Length: 14 

Cookie: $Version=0; JSESSIONID=6608F4420AC8259390F7C8429EB0FC37.jvm1; 
$Path=/restful;
 

 

senddoc(): entered 

status=test123 

recvresp(): entered 

HTTP/1.1 200 OK 

Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 

Content-Type: application/json
