SpringMVC 400 Bad request JSON data

I have some problem with sending request to spring mvc controller. I have got entity:

public class Person {
    private String name;
    private int age;
    private String city;
    //..getters setters

}

and SpringMvc controller:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/companies")
public class FirmaController {
    @RequestMapping(value = "/addPerson", method = RequestMethod.POST, headers = {"Content-type=application/json"})
    public String addPerson(@RequestBody Person person) {
        return "person";
    }
}

When i would like to send request to server with curl:

curl -i -X POST -HContent-Type:application/json  -HAccept:application/json http://localhost:8080/api/companies/addPerson -d "{ 'name': 'Gerry', 'age': 20, 'city': 'Sydney' }"

i have got a HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
Cache-Control: must-revalidate,no-cache,no-store
Content-Length: 1392
Server: Jetty(8.1.10.v20130312)

What I do wrong?

This one is correct:

curl -i -X POST -HContent-Type:application/json  
 -HAccept:application/json
 http://localhost:8080/api/companies/addPerson 
 -d '{ "name": "Gerry", "age": 20, "city": "Sydney" }'

The data you send is not valid JSON. Strings have to be wrapped in double quotes " not single quotes ' like in your example.

If you don't have an old version of Spring you should use consumes = "application/json" instead of headers=....
