Feign recognized GET method as POST - spring

I have a service defined as follow
class Echo {
private String message; // getters and setters omitted
}
#RequestMapping("/app")
interface Resource {
#RequestMapping(method = GET)
Echo echo(#ModelAttribute Echo msg);
}
#RestController
class ResourceImpl implements Resource {
#Override
Echo echo(Echo msg) { return msg; }
}
and his client on a different application
#FeignClient(name = "app", url = "http://localhost:8080")
interface Client extends Resource {}
However, when I call resource method
#Autowired
private Resource client;
#Test
public void test() {
Echo echo = new Echo();
echo.setMessage("hello");
client.echo(echo);
}
I got a confusing error message
feign.FeignException: status 405 reading ClientLocal#echo(Echo);
content: {"timestamp":1512686240485,"status":405,"error":"Method Not
Allowed","exception":"org.springframework.web.HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException","message":"Request
method 'POST' not supported","path":"/app"}
What I did wrong here?

Found the same issue and for me the reason of POST with GET mixing by Feign is usage of Object as request param
was with same error as yours:
#GetMapping("/followers/{userId}/id")
Page<String> getFollowersIds(#PathVariable String userId, Pageable pageable);
added #RequstParam for 2 argument fixed it, like:
#GetMapping("/followers/{userId}/id")
Page<String> getFollowersIds(#PathVariable String userId, #RequestParam Pageable pageable);

Redirect to URL in Spring MVC (REST API) with params

I have an endpoint in RestController. When request would be processed , there must performed redirecting to another URL and There need to pass one parameters in redirect URL.
#RestController
#RequiredArgsConstructor
#Slf4j
public class RestControllerImpl {
#Value("${uri-root}")
private String uriRoot;
private final Service service;
#PostMapping("/api")
public RedirectView performRequest(#RequestBody Transaction dto) {
service.perform(dto);
String referenceToken = "sldflh#2lhf*shdjkla"
String urlRedirect = uriRoot + "?token=" + referenceToken;
return new RedirectView(urlRedirect);
}
}
The code above doesn't work for me.
I was looking for information on stackoverflow, but it suggests either using ModelAndView or RedirectAttributes attributes. But I need endpoint to accept a Post request that would bring data that will be processed in the service layer.
It is not possible to complete this task. Could someone explain how this can work and how such a task can be accomplished ?
It worked.
#RestController
#RequiredArgsConstructor
#Slf4j
public class RestControllerImpl {
#Value("${uri-root}")
private String uriRoot;
private final Service service;
#PostMapping("/api")
public ResponseEntity createClient(#RequestBody Transaction dto) throws URISyntaxException {
service.perform(dto);
String referenceToken = "sldflh#2lhf*shdjkla"
String urlRedirect = uriRoot + "?token=" + referenceToken;
return ResponseEntity.created(new URI(urlRedirect)).build();
}
}

Spring Web - 405 method not allowed

I recently tried to program a simple api in spring.
When I try it with postman, the only two working endpoints are the fetchAllMovie and the createMovie. The others (with request parameter) give a response:
{
"timestamp": "2021-11-30T14:38:34.396+00:00",
"status": 405,
"error": "Method Not Allowed",
"path": "/api/movies"
}
Here's a snippet:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/api/movies")
public class MovieController {
#Autowired
private MovieService movieService;
#Autowired
private MovieRepository movieRepository;
#Autowired
private MovieMapper movieMapper;
#GetMapping
public List<Movie> fetchAllMovie() {
return movieService.getAllMovie();
}
#PostMapping
public MovieDto createMovie(#RequestBody MovieCreationDto movieCreationDto) {
Movie movie = movieMapper.creationDtoToModel(movieCreationDto);
return movieMapper.modelToDto(movieRepository.save(movie));
}
#GetMapping("/{movieId}")
public MovieDto fetchMovieById(#PathVariable("movieId") String movieId) throws MovieNotFoundException {
Movie movie = movieRepository.findById(movieId).orElseThrow(MovieNotFoundException::new);
return movieMapper.modelToDto(movie);
}
}
So if I send a GET request like http://localhost:8080/api/movies?movieId=619fa9d9b0c30252474b9a01 I get the error, but if I send a GET or POST request like http://localhost:8080/api/movies i can get all of the data from the data base or I can POST in it. (Of course with the proper request body)
Note it: Not only the GET req not working. Anything with request parameter gives me this error.
The #PathVariable is used to send parameter in path, like this: http://localhost:8080/api/movies/619fa9d9b0c30252474b9a01
If you want to send it using URL you specified, you need to use annotation #RequestParam
If you are using the #PathVariable as the input parameter, then you should call the endpoint in the following way:
http://localhost:8080/api/movies/619fa9d9b0c30252474b9a01
If you would like to use the #RequestParameter then call the api like this:
http://localhost:8080/api/movies?movieId=619fa9d9b0c30252474b9a01

Junit testing- java.lang.AssertionError: Status Expected:<200> but was:<403>

I know this kind of questions has been asked before and I tried many of the answers given in there and none is doing good, So can someone please help me out in this for getting proper solution
Its my Controller class
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/admin")
public class ABController {
#PutMapping("/train/{trainId}/{status}")
public ResponseEntity updateTrainstatus(#PathVariable String trainId, #PathVariable String status) {
return feignClient.updateTrainstatus(trainId, status);
}
}
Its my test controller class
private final String UPDATE_TRAIN_URI = "/admin/train?trainId=train100&status=approved";
#Test
public void testJsonController() throws Exception {
String trainId = "train100";
String status = "approved";
MockHttpServletRequestBuilder builder = MockMvcRequestBuilders.put(UPDATE_TRAIN_URI)
.contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE).accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON).characterEncoding("UTF-8");
this.mockMvc.perform(builder).andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.status().isOk())
.andExpect(MockMvcResultMatchers.content().string("Train status"))
.andDo(MockMvcResultHandlers.print());
}
Probably your project has a configured spring security. Than the controller requires some authentication - for instance a jwt token in a request header. In test your request does not have a valid value than You receive a 403 forbidden status

Empty Exception Body in Spring MVC Test

I am having trouble while trying to make MockMvc to include the exception message in the response body. I have a controller as follows:
#RequestMapping("/user/new")
public AbstractResponse create(#Valid NewUserParameters params, BindingResult bindingResult) {
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) throw BadRequestException.of(bindingResult);
// ...
}
where BadRequestException looks sth like this:
#ResponseStatus(value = HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, reason = "bad request")
public class BadRequestException extends IllegalArgumentException {
public BadRequestException(String cause) { super(cause); }
public static BadRequestException of(BindingResult bindingResult) { /* ... */ }
}
And I run the following test against /user/new controller:
#Test
public void testUserNew() throws Exception {
getMockMvc().perform(post("/user/new")
.param("username", username)
.param("password", password))
.andDo(print())
.andExpect(status().isOk());
}
which prints the following output:
Resolved Exception:
Type = controller.exception.BadRequestException
ModelAndView:
View name = null
View = null
Model = null
FlashMap:
MockHttpServletResponse:
Status = 400
Error message = bad request
Headers = {X-Content-Type-Options=[nosniff], X-XSS-Protection=[1; mode=block], Cache-Control=[no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate], Pragma=[no-cache], Expires=[0], X-Frame-Options=[DENY]}
Content type = null
Body =
Forwarded URL = null
Redirected URL = null
Cookies = []
Does anybody have an idea on why is Body missing in the print() output?
Edit: I am not using any custom exception handlers and the code works as expected when I run the server. That is, running the application and making the same request to the server returns back
{"timestamp":1423076185822,
"status":400,
"error":"Bad Request",
"exception":"controller.exception.BadRequestException",
"message":"binding failed for field(s): password, username, username",
"path":"/user/new"}
as expected. Hence, there is a problem with the MockMvc I suppose. It somehow misses to capture the message field of the exception, whereas the default exception handler of the regular application server works as expected.
After opening a ticket for the issue, I was told that the error message in the body is taken care of by Spring Boot which configures error mappings at the Servlet container level and since Spring MVC Test runs with a mock Servlet request/response, there is no such error mapping. Further, they recommended me to create at least one #WebIntegrationTest and stick to Spring MVC Test for my controller logic.
Eventually, I decided to go with my own custom exception handler and stick to MockMvc for the rest as before.
#ControllerAdvice
public class CustomExceptionHandler {
#ExceptionHandler(Throwable.class)
public #ResponseBody
ExceptionResponse handle(HttpServletResponse response, Throwable throwable) {
HttpStatus status = Optional
.ofNullable(AnnotationUtils.getAnnotation(throwable.getClass(), ResponseStatus.class))
.map(ResponseStatus::value)
.orElse(HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
response.setStatus(status.value());
return new ExceptionResponse(throwable.getMessage());
}
}
#Data
public class ExceptionResponse extends AbstractResponse {
private final long timestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
private final String message;
#JsonCreator
public ExceptionResponse(String message) {
checkNotNull(message, "message == NULL");
this.message = message;
}
}
This likely means that you either didn't handle the exception or you've really left the body empty. To handle the exception either add an error handler in the controller
#ExceptionHandler
public #ResponseBody String handle(BadRequestException e) {
return "I'm the body";
}
or user the global error handler if you're on 3.2 or above
#ControllerAdvice
public class GlobalExceptionHandler {
#ExceptionHandler
public #ResponseBody String handleBadRequestException(BadRequestException ex) {
return "I'm the body";
}
}
with this the body will be populate, you should populate it with your error message
Updated solution:
If you don't want to do a full integration test but still want to make sure the message is as expected, you can still do the following:
String errorMessage = getMockMvc()
.perform(post("/user/new"))
...
.andReturn().getResolvedException().getMessage();
assertThat(errorMessage, is("This is the error message!");

Spring Boot Rest Controller how to return different HTTP status codes?

I am using Spring Boot for a simple REST API and would like to return a correct HTTP statuscode if something fails.
#RequestMapping(value="/rawdata/", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
#ResponseBody
#ResponseStatus( HttpStatus.OK )
public RestModel create(#RequestBody String data) {
// code ommitted..
// how do i return a correct status code if something fails?
}
Being new to Spring and Spring Boot, the basic question is how do i return different status codes when something is ok or fails?
There are several options you can use. Quite good way is to use exceptions and class for handling called #ControllerAdvice:
#ControllerAdvice
class GlobalControllerExceptionHandler {
#ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.CONFLICT) // 409
#ExceptionHandler(DataIntegrityViolationException.class)
public void handleConflict() {
// Nothing to do
}
}
Also you can pass HttpServletResponse to controller method and just set response code:
public RestModel create(#RequestBody String data, HttpServletResponse response) {
// response committed...
response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_ACCEPTED);
}
Please refer to the this great blog post for details: Exception Handling in Spring MVC
NOTE
In Spring MVC using #ResponseBody annotation is redundant - it's already included in #RestController annotation.
One of the way to do this is you can use ResponseEntity as a return object.
#RequestMapping(value="/rawdata/", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
public ResponseEntity<?> create(#RequestBody String data) {
if(everything_fine) {
return new ResponseEntity<>(RestModel, HttpStatus.OK);
} else {
return new ResponseEntity<>(null, HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
}
}
A nice way is to use Spring's ResponseStatusException
Rather than returning a ResponseEntityor similar you simply throw the ResponseStatusException from the controller with an HttpStatus and cause, for example:
throw new ResponseStatusException(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST, "Cause description here");
This results in a response to the client containing the HTTP status:
{
"timestamp": "2020-07-09T04:43:04.695+0000",
"status": 400,
"error": "Bad Request",
"message": "Cause description here",
"path": "/test-api/v1/search"
}
Note: HttpStatus provides many different status codes for your convenience.
In case you want to return a custom defined status code, you can use the ResponseEntity as here:
#RequestMapping(value="/rawdata/", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
public ResponseEntity<?> create(#RequestBody String data) {
int customHttpStatusValue = 499;
Foo foo = bar();
return ResponseEntity.status(customHttpStatusValue).body(foo);
}
The CustomHttpStatusValue could be any integer within or outside of standard HTTP Status Codes.
Try this code:
#RequestMapping(value = "/validate", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = "application/json")
public ResponseEntity<ErrorBean> validateUser(#QueryParam("jsonInput") final String jsonInput) {
int numberHTTPDesired = 400;
ErrorBean responseBean = new ErrorBean();
responseBean.setError("ERROR");
responseBean.setMensaje("Error in validation!");
return new ResponseEntity<ErrorBean>(responseBean, HttpStatus.valueOf(numberHTTPDesired));
}
There are different ways to return status code,
1 : RestController class should extends BaseRest class, in BaseRest class we can handle exception and return expected error codes.
for example :
#RestController
#RequestMapping
class RestController extends BaseRest{
}
#ControllerAdvice
public class BaseRest {
#ExceptionHandler({Exception.class,...})
#ResponseStatus(value=HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR)
public ErrorModel genericError(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response, Exception exception) {
ErrorModel error = new ErrorModel();
resource.addError("error code", exception.getLocalizedMessage());
return error;
}
I think the easiest way is to make return type of your method as
ResponseEntity<WHATEVER YOU WANT TO RETURN>
and for sending any status code, just add return statement as
return ResponseEntity.status(HTTP STATUS).build();
For example, if you want to return a list of books,
public ResponseEntity<List<books>> getBooks(){
List<books> list = this.bookService.getAllBooks();
if(list.size() <= 0)
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND).build();
else
return ResponseEntity.of(Optional.of(list));
}
