java - Is it possible to let Play Framework 1 handle a sent JSON in a post request? -

is possible let play framework 1 handle sent json in post request? developer connecting backend not send in key/value pairs ampersand separator, wants send in json. problem data null, i.e name null. possible achieve?

what have far:

controller

public static void mymethod(string name) {     logger.info(name); } 

routes file

post    /test        application.mymethod 

and send request header content-type: application/json , data in body { "name": "a name" }

i did not find auto binding did this:

mymodel mymodel = new gsonbuilder().create().fromjson(new inputstreamreader(request.body), mymodel.class); 

and worked perfectly!
