I have just started learning Java Spring Boot for REST API development. With below code, GET method is working fine but POST doesn't.
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/users")
public class UsersController {
@Autowired
private UserRepository userRepository;
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public List<User> getAll() {
return userRepository.findAll();
}
@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String saveUser() {
return "Saved";
}
}
Tested POST method in Postman app using Content-Type
as application/json
Error,
{
"timestamp": 1497116929266,
"status": 405,
"error": "Method Not Allowed",
"exception": "org.springframework.web.HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException",
"message": "Request method 'POST' not supported",
"path": "/api/users/"
}
In the log I can see,
s.w.s.m.m.a.RequestMappingHandlerMapping : Mapped "{[/api/users],methods=[POST]}" onto public java.lang.String com.betasquirrel.controller.UsersController.saveUser()
s.w.s.m.m.a.RequestMappingHandlerMapping : Mapped "{[/api/users],methods=[GET]}" onto public java.util.List<com.betasquirrel.model.User> com.betasquirrel.controller.UsersController.getAll()
