Hi Everyone

I have been working on simple RESTFul Web Services lately, with jersey on Eclipse, Apache Tomcat Server v 6.0.32. I can get the GET Functions to work just fine. But when I try POST Methods, using the Post annotation and deploy it, I get the "method not allowed" msg. I can't seem to figure out why. Any idea on how I can get it to work?

Thank you

Can you share your java code and the raw HTTP request ?

Something as simple as this does not work.

Thank you

Not sure what is specifically wrong based on the code and request supplied, but it may be a configuration problem. I remember getting this error before when I did not have the docroot base URI configured right and the URI hierarchy was one level deeper than I expected when implementing a Restbucks sample application.

You might want to check where the base URI is configured in the project.

Can you add the @Consumes annotation too and try it. Something like the one shown below

Hi Nikhil,

I gave your suggestion a try, but the result is still the same. 405 Method Not Allowed.

Thank you

Try to use this way,

@POST
@Path("/create")
@Produces("text/plain")
public String sayHello(@QueryParam("username") String username)
{
return "Hello "+username;
}

and call the Uri by using Poster plugin of Mozilla or etc.

Hi Subodh ,

Took your advice. Added Poster add ons to the FireFox browser and pasted the url on the pop up window and clicked on POST . I now get a 403 Forbidden Error.

<html><head><title>Apache Tomcat/6.0.32 - Error report</title><style></style> </head><body><h1>HTTP Status 403 - Access to the requested resource has been denied</h1><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><p><b>type</b> Status report</p><p><b>message</b> <u>Access to the requested resource has been denied</u></p><p><b>description</b> <u>Access to the specified resource (Access to the requested resource has been denied) has been forbidden.</u></p><HR size="1" noshade="noshade"><h3>Apache Tomcat/6.0.32</h3></body></html>

Are you using transaction or any filter interceptor in your application. If not then please post your exact signature of method in resource layer, and how will you call it on your poster.
and if you are using transaction management with configuration then please check the methods type you allowed for it or if any interceptor then please check the interceptor configuration.
