RestTemplate interface does not allow RequestBody with DELETE request.
To achieve this functionality, I am using exchange method but it does not work.
Can someone help me? I have tried with same with PUT action and it works fine.

Here's what I doing:

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) ;
headers.set("Accept", "application/json");
Object obj = new DemoObject();
HttpEntity<Object> entity = new HttpEntity<Object>(obj, headers);
ResponseEntity<?> response = exchange(URL, HttpMethod.DELETE, entity , null);

On the server side, using Spring MVC, method signature is following:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.DELETE , value = "/api/system/{id}")
public void removeSystem(@PathVariable("id") String id, @RequestBody DemoObject obj)
{
...
}

On the server side, it throws the exception:
