Instead of posting it as raw data, in postman you've form-data beside raw data, you can post your formData through it.

@ghaluprabha instead of using Form-data use **X-www-form-urluncoded**.. Hope that solves your problem. – Zakir Hussain Aug 02 '19 at 06:58

show your controller method, try add @RequestBody Entity or @RequestBody Map map.
