I am new to RESTful services and jersey. I am trying to send a POST request (using postman) for this function.

```
@Path("/bikes")
public class BikesResource {

    @POST
    @Consumes ({MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML})
    public void createBike(Bike bike) {
        BikeDao.instance.getModel().put(bike.getBikeID(),bike);
    }

```

This is my Bike Class:

```
@XmlRootElement
public class Bike {
    private String bikeID;
    private String ownerName;
    private String color;
    private String gender;

    public Bike(){

    }
    public Bike(String bikeID, String ownerName, String color, String gender){
        this.bikeID = bikeID;
        this.ownerName = ownerName;
        this.color = color;
        this.gender = gender;
    }

    public String getBikeDetails(){
        return getBikeID() + ", " + getOwnerName() + ", " + getColour() + ", " + getGender();
    }
    public String getBikeID(){
        return bikeID;
    }
    public String getOwnerName(){
        return ownerName;
    }
    public String getColour(){
        return color;
    }
    public String getGender(){
        return gender;
    }
    public void setBikeID(String bikeID){
        this.bikeID = bikeID;
    }
    public void setOwnerName(String ownerName){
        this.ownerName = ownerName;
    }
    public void setColour(String colour){
        this.color = colour;
    }
    public void setGender(String gender){
        this.gender = gender;
    }
}

```

The postman request looks like this:

However I get 415 Unsupported Media type and I don't know why. I was thinking that maybe there is something wrong with my pom.xml, but I can't figure it out.

This is the pom.xml file
