REST API plugin - use body instead of query string for parameters

Question

I use this as a link to create a REST only configuration on Struts2:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WW/REST+Plugin

I have one model, a receipt with several test fields: name, body.

Currently, to create a receipt, I am sending a request this way:

POST /receipt/?body=new_body&title=new_title

and he creates me a receipt with a new body and heading.

This does not work:

POST /receipt/
{
  "body": "new_body",
  "title": "new title"
}

Here is the code:

struts.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC
    "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts Configuration 2.3//EN"
    "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.3.dtd">

    <constant name="struts.convention.default.parent.package" value="receipto"/>
    <constant name="struts.convention.package.locators" value="controllers,actions"/>
</struts>

ReceiptController.java:

public class ReceiptController implements ModelDriven<Object> {

    private ReceiptManager receiptManager = new ReceiptManager();
    private String id;
    private Receipt model = new Receipt();
    private Collection list;

    public Object getModel()
    {
        return (list==null ? model : list);
    }

    public HttpHeaders create()
    {
        receiptManager.save(model);
        return new DefaultHttpHeaders("create");
    }


    public HttpHeaders show()
    {
        model = receiptManager.find(id);
        return new DefaultHttpHeaders("show");
    }

    public HttpHeaders update()
    {
        receiptManager.save(model);
        return new DefaultHttpHeaders("update");
    }

    public HttpHeaders destroy()
    {
        model = receiptManager.destroy(id);
        return new DefaultHttpHeaders("destroy");
    }

    public HttpHeaders index()
    {
        list = receiptManager.list();
        return new DefaultHttpHeaders("index").disableCaching();
    }

    public String getId()
    {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(String id)
    {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

Is it supposed to work the way I want, or is it just how the plugin works?
