Grails "params" doesn't contain json payload for REST controllers

I'm writing REST API for my app.

Using JSON payload in the POST request: 

{
   availableAfter: "2014-03-16"
   canRead: true
   rightName: "dsa"
}

The problem is that, in the controller's params there are no values from payload. But, despite that, I can read them using properties[*] syntax, like this:

right.properties['rightName', 'canRead'] = params;
right.availableAfter = params.date('availableAfter', 'yyyy-MM-dd');

Properties 'rightName' and 'canRead' are set OK. 'availableAfter' is not(null even if taken with params.availableAfter).

Why is it differs?

UPDATE: Grails v 2.3.6

You have to use request.JSON to get a hold of your JSON-body. The params object doesn't contain it, unless you serialize your JSON object in the client and pass it as a parameter.
