Grails fails to parse request when content type is specified during post

Using wget I make two posts to the same url with xml in the body. The first works. The second has the content type specified and it does not work. Why is this and how do I get grails to parse the request even when the content type is specified?

first wget:

wget http://localhost:8080/myApp/myMoeView/save --post-file=xmltest.xml

Grails logs (notice the "parsed params"):

2014-02-27 18:44:05,465 [http-bio-8080-exec-9] INFO  httplogger.DefaultHttpLogger  - << #3425 POST http://localhost:8080/myApp/mrMoeView/save

2014-02-27 18:44:05,491 [http-bio-8080-exec-9] INFO  httplogger.DefaultHttpLogger  - << #3425 dispatched to mrMoeView/save with parsed params ['<?xml version':'{"1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><mrMoeView><absoluteTolerance>1.004</absoluteTolerance><endTime>0</endTime><id>4187</id><lastModified>2014-01-07 00:00:00.000 PST</lastModified><modelRealizationId>1193</modelRealizationId><mrMoeId>4187</mrMoeId><mrMoeName>Default MOE from Model 2140</mrMoeName><relativeTolerance>1e-4</relativeTolerance><startTime>0</startTime></mrMoeView>

second wget:

wget http://localhost:8080/myApp/mrMoeView/save --post-file=xmltest.xml --header="Content-Type:application/xml"

Grails logs (notice no parsed params, and the body has all the xml):

2014-02-27 18:46:27,291 [http-bio-8080-exec-5] INFO  httplogger.DefaultHttpLogger  - << #3427 POST http://localhost:8080/processdb/mrMoeView/save

Grails version 2.3.5

UPDATE

UrlMapping:

class UrlMappings {

static mappings = {
    "/$controller/$action?/$id?"(parseRequest:true){
        constraints {
            // apply constraints here
        }
    }

    "/"(view:"/index")
    "500"(view:'/error')
}
}

With content type specified content will be received as part of request body instead of parsed params.

Body can be accessed as request.XML in action. Going through the comments, we found out the usage of a older way to bindData. With Grails 2.3.*, the request payload can be directly bound to a domain object provided the body has a valid id as :

def save(MyDomain abc){
    //use abc.name
}

If a valid id is not present in request body then domain object will be null inside the action.

@Data binding.
