doPost not getting called by embedded Jetty, when using Context collection - servlets

Question

I am using Jetty 6 in embedded mode. I have a number of servlets in a ContextHandlerCollection. Beyond this problem, the servlets work fine on their different URLs.
ContextHandlerCollection contexts = new ContextHandlerCollection();
server.setHandler(contexts);
HandlerContainer mainhandler = contexts;
Context qxrpc = new Context(contexts,"/api",Context.SESSIONS);
ServletHolder rpcServHolder = new ServletHolder(new FrzRpcServlet());
rpcServHolder.setInitParameter("referrerCheck", "public");
// allows cross-domain calls
qxrpc.addServlet( rpcServHolder, "*.qxrpc");
Context statscontext =new Context(contexts,"/stats",Context.SESSIONS);
ServletHolder statsHolder = new ServletHolder(new FrzStatsServlet());
statsHolder.setInitParameter("restrictToLocalhost", "false");
// allows cross-domain calls
statscontext.addServlet(statsHolder, "/*");
Context hellocontext = new Context(contexts,"/hello", Context.SESSIONS);
hellocontext.addServlet(new ServletHolder(new HelloServlet("HELLO TEST: ")),
"/*");
Context zdbcontext = new Context(contexts,"/zdb", Context.ALL);
ServletHolder zdbHolder = new ServletHolder(new FrzZdbServlet());
statsHolder.setInitParameter("restrictToLocalhost", "false");
// allows cross-domain calls
zdbcontext.addServlet(zdbHolder, "/*");
Context root = new Context(mainhandler,"/",Context.SESSIONS);
root.setResourceBase(docroot);
root.addServlet(DefaultServlet.class, "/");
I know the POST request is coming across to my server. Here is some ngrep output:

Unsuccessful POST - reports 200 OK - but never gets to servlet

.
What I can't figure out is why the doPost() is not getting called, while the doGet() is. The servlet in question is the FrzZdbServlet.
Found a number of threads on Google, but the Jetty folks only point back to examples, which in turn only implement do doGet() for the Context examples. As in here
Also, I am posting from GWT code, and I am using content-type application/json. Could this be the issue? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Answer 1

My Context apparently did not accept POSTs with content-type: application/json. Removing this on my client code fixed it. If anyone else has input appreciate it.
