Re: [Resteasy-developers] Using DELETE method with posted data?

[Bill B. <bb...@re...>]

JAX-RS 2.0 client API does not have a delete() method that accepts an 
entity.  Tomcat might just be eating payloads from delete.  Resteasy 
runtime doesn't care what kind of HTTP method it is.  It will try to 
extract content if it exists.

I suggest switching it to a POST and, if you have to, a different URL 
for your delete operation.  Its not clear to me if DELETE was ever meant 
to have content.  HTTP 1.1 spec isn't very clear on this.
