pritidesai opened a new issue #276: Action creation with .jar fails with "The request content was malformed"
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk-wskdeploy/issues/276
 
 
   **1: Create a Java file called `Hello.Java` from [here](https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/openwhisk/openwhisk_actions.html#openwhisk_actions_java)**
   
   ```
   import com.google.gson.JsonObject;
   public class Hello {
       public static JsonObject main(JsonObject args) {
           String name = "stranger";
           if (args.has("name"))
               name = args.getAsJsonPrimitive("name").getAsString();
           JsonObject response = new JsonObject();
           response.addProperty("greeting", "Hello " + name + "!");
           return response;
       }
   }
   ```
   
   **2: Compile `Hello.java` into a JAR file `hello.jar` as follows:**
   
   ```
   javac Hello.java
   jar cvf hello.jar Hello.class
   ```
   
   **3: Create `manifest.yaml` with:**
   
   ```
   package:
       name: helloworldjar
       actions:
           helloworld:
               location: src/hello.jar
               runtime: java
               main: Hello
   ```
   
   **4: Deployment fails with:**
   
   ```
   Response body received:
   {
     "error": "The request content was malformed:\n'main' must be a string defined in 'exec' for 'java' actions",
     "code": 4001042
   }
