How to send json using @RequestBody without using domain object

Question

I am building project REST project with Spring Boot and i come across an issue of sending JSON from client to server. My Scenerio is i want to send json like this using postman REST client:

{
"test":"success"
}

And want to get this json using this method:

@RequestMapping(value = "/user", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public Map<String, Object> postData(@RequestBody Map map){
        log.info("in test Connection method");
        return map;
    }

I am using above method but it is giving exception.

If it is not possible to process json data with @RequestBody with POST request then is there any other way to get json data with POST request and process that json data?

Add the stacktrace please.

I have just tested it here and it works fine.

You have to specify the Content-Type header in your POST request though, and set it to application/json. You can easily do this in Postman in the Headers tab.`

Without it you will most likely get an Internal Server Error (500) saying

Content type 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8' not supported
