'"Required request body is missing: public org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity<?>

I am learning Spring-Boot features and going through them also with Postman. But when i run the code i get 400 Bad Request Error on Postman like this: "Required request body is missing: public org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity". Have i missed an attribute or the coding is all the way wrong?

 @RestController
 @RequestMapping("/api/board")
 @CrossOrigin
public class ProjectTaskController {

@Autowired
private ProjectTaskService projectTaskService;

@PostMapping("")
public ResponseEntity<?> addPTToBoard( @Valid @RequestBody ProjectTask projectTask, BindingResult result){
    if(result.hasErrors()) {
        Map<String, String> errorMap= new HashMap<>();

        for(FieldError error: result.getFieldErrors()) {
            errorMap.put(error.getField(), error.getDefaultMessage());
        }
         return new ResponseEntity<Map<String, String>>(errorMap, HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST);
    }

    ProjectTask newPT= projectTaskService.saveOrUpdateProjectTask(projectTask);
    return new ResponseEntity<ProjectTask>(newPT, HttpStatus.CREATED);
}

The projectTask code, it has getters and setters also.

@Entity
public class ProjectTask {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private long id;

@NotBlank(message = "summary cannot be blank")
private String summary;
private String acceptanceCriteria;
private String status;

public ProjectTask() {

}

Postman request Here

Redi here's a sample request : 

curl -X POST \
  'http://>>>> your endpoint url' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
"summary" : "sample summary",
"acceptanceCriteria" : "blabla",
"status" : "fake status"
}'

Since it is a @PostMapping you need to make a postman POST request like this: enter image description here

make sure to select raw and content type of application/json along with a json object for the body of the request

That's right..! Yeah you are sending a bad request. You have to send request payload in POST request.

Solution : While sending the POST request please send with body like this in your case.

{
"summary":"any",
"acceptance":"any",
"status":"any"
}
