Pass request parameter to delete request in rest

I am using resteasy. Here is a code to delete a resource.

@DELETE
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/{id:\\d+}")
public Response removeResource(@PathParam("id") int id){
    .........................
    .. code to delete resource and return Response object ..
    .........................
}

This code is working fine. But when I try to pass some parameter to delete request. I am getting UnsupportedMediaException

@DELETE
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("/{id:\\d+}")
public Response removeResource(@PathParam("id") int id, Map<String, Object> source){
    .........................
    .. code to delete resource and return Response object ..
    .........................
}

I need to send some parameter for some reason. Moreover when I just replace delete request with put request i.e. replacing @DELETE with @PUT, the code works fine.

Is there any way to pass parameter to delete request.

And at front end I was using angularjs's $resource to send DELETE request

var r = $Resource(/rest/resources/1);    // for debugging purpose I made id 1
r.remove({"key1":"data1", "key2", "data2"});

Edit :

You have requested that the Content-Type be "application/json" AngularJS defaults to text/plain.

If you have a new enough version of AngularJS(1.1.3) you can customise the resource object to include the Content-Type you requested. You should be able to modify your resource definition to include the Content-Type for a delete request

var r = $Resource(/rest/resources/1, {},
   remove:{
      method:"DELETE",
      isArray:false,
      headers:{'Content-Type':'application/json; charset=UTF-8'} 
   }
);
