@RequestMapping("/user")
public class UserController {

    @PostMapping(value = "/",
            consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8_VALUE,
            produces = {MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE})
    public ResponseEntity<InternalUser> saveInternalUser(@RequestBody InternalUserDTO dto){

       InternalUser user =  internalUserService.saveInternalUser(dto);
        return new ResponseEntity<>(user, HttpStatus.CREATED);
    }

https://stackoverflow.com/a/43065261/11369236

Some answers suggest to use

          consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON,

but spring gives errors:

attribute must be constant

What can i do?

Use body > raw to send your JSON data for the API request

{
    "name": "John Doe"
    "email": "[email protected]"
}

You have to add Content-type: application/json;charset=utf-8 header to your request.

By default (if Content-type header is absent) content type of POST request body is application/x-www-form-urlencoded. In @RequestMapping by consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_UTF8_VALUE mentioned that json in UTF-8 encoding expected in request body. Thats why spring throws an exception.
