java.net.ProtocolException: DELETE does not support writing

I do not believe that HTTP DELETE takes input - I believe it acts like a GET variant.The implementation provided by HTTP Client seems to support this conjecture as well.If you are looking to provide a delete with a body, you /might/ want to consider using a POST to a location that accepts a body.But in answer to your question, no, delete does not accept a body. You can add query parameters but not a body.
