Description

It's seems that Spring doesn't understand it as a RequestBody when using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
A quick workaround is to override the bodyParams.mustache and remove the @RequestBody in it, for my case it was enough
(by the way, this override possibility is just a fantastic idea)
There is no specific generation problem, neither start one, but when I call the API I get a 415 - Unsupported Media Type

I tried to correct this thing to PR but I can't figure how, on what param should I lean to set up this @RequestBody (or ot) ?

Research direction

Start with the Spring generator's bodyParams.mustache and reproduce the provided OpenAPI example using application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Check how the generated @RequestBody parameter is handled, then verify the generated Spring application no longer returns 415 Unsupported Media Type for this request.
