Default HttpMessageConverter

[BobbyF]

I am currently working on upgrading my application to use SI 2 (using 2M7) from 1.0.4. Application has been enabled to HTTP using HttpRequestHandlingMessagingGateway. I am testing it with HttpClient by setting parameters on PostMethod (they all contain string values). What I am puzzled by is, what is the default HttpMessageConverter being used? Content submitted is being processed as a byte array and converted to LinkedMultiValueMap - at least it seems like it. If I don't provide any converters, the request body is being processed and works just fine. But, if I provide ByteArrayHttpMessageConverter, the message headers are being returned as LinkedMultiValueMap and does not contain the parameters posted.

Could somebody possibly have an answer for this?

Thank you in advance.

This one I figured it out, it is because I did not set content type for my http post. Once I set that value, things made sense.
