Error calling one Spring boot rest API from another rest API - spring

Question

I wrote one spring boot api having method Post which i can able to call directly.
But when I try to call the same with another spring boot rest api I am getting the below error. [I know the error is all about the my URL is wrong] but as i mentioned I am able to call that same post method directly but not from the second api.
Internal Server Error with message 404 and status 500
Main Spring rest API
#PostMapping("/callForSecondAPI")
public ResponseEntity<List<Attributes>> findByIdAndGroup(#RequestBody Attributes attribute) {
String id = attribute.getId();
String group = attribute.Group();
List<Attributes> selectedRecords = attributesService.findByIdAndGroup(id, group);
return ResponseEntity.ok(selectedRecords);
}
Second Spring rest API which is coming the first API
#PostMapping("/attributes")
public ResponseEntity<Attributes[]> findByIdAndGroup(#RequestBody Attributes attribute) {
String id = attribute.getId();
String group = attribute.Group();
HashMap<String, String> attr = new HashMap<>();
attr.put("id", id);
attr.put("group", group);
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Content-Type", "application/json");
HttpEntity<Attributes> requestEntity = new HttpEntity<Attributes>(attribute, headers);
ResponseEntity<Attributes[]> responseEntity = restTemplate.postForEntity("http://localhost:2342/api/v1/department/callForSecondAPI", requestEntity
, Attributes[].class, attr);
return ResponseEntity.ok(responseEntity.getBody());
}
I google a lot and followed a lot for tutorial, played with all the RestTemplate methods but nothing worked out.
When i debug the second API, I went into RestTemplate class and when it make the final call it failed and went into catch block of doInvoke method and throw InvocationTargetException it is on the HandlerMethod class of spring.

Can some one tell me what i am doing wrong or how to debug so that I can get to know the right place where i need to fix particular problem.

Answer 1

404 Http errors are when the caller is unable to find the relevant resource at the server.
So your B server is unable to find the relevant URI in service A
I suggest to run in debug mode and check exactly where B is trying to call. Copy this URL to a Postman or other HTTP client program to re-check yourself.
