Grails command object fails to wire properly for delete using Restangular - angularjs

Question

I am trying to create a RESTish service using grails. I have the following...
def delete(Question q){
def text = request.reader.text;
def slurper = new JsonSlurper();
def result = slurper.parseText(text)
println "Request body is ${text} but the parsed version has a text of ${q.text} whereas the slurper gives me ${result as JSON}"
render noteService.delete(result.key)
}
This gives me an output of...
Request body is {"text":"Test Text","desc":"Test Desc","voteCount":0,"key":0} but the parsed version has a text of null whereas the slurper gives me {"desc":"Test Desc","key":0,"text":"Test Text","voteCount":0}
Why is this not wiring properly? The command object looks as follows...
#Validateable
class Question {
Integer key
String text
String desc
Integer voteCount
}
Is the delete request a GET under the hood or something? Is it expecting some other format?
Update
The create (POST) request is wiring fine which leads me to believe it is something with the differance between the Restangular call and what grails is expecting (So I think my request type guess might be right). My restangular code is simply...
this.delete = function(index) {
var questionToUpdate = _this.questions[index];
questionToUpdate.remove();
}
Also appears to fail with update (put) as well
Grails version is 2.4.3

Answer 1

Problem was that request.reader.text turns of the parsing of command objects.
