Request method of type post not recognized by Spring Rest Api - spring

Question

This Code work fine :
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/api/post")
public class PostController {
#Autowired
private PostService postService;
public PostService getPostService() {
return postService;
}
public void setPostService(PostService postService) {
this.postService = postService;
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/userPost", method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public String userPost(String username) {
try {
List<Validation> validations = new ArrayList<Validation>();
ValidationHandeler.rejectIfEmptyOrWhitespace(validations, username, "username is requierd");
if (validations.isEmpty()) {
List<Post> followers = getPostService().findUserPost(username);
return new Message(followers, MessageSuccesStatusEnum.SUCCESS).toString();
}
return new Message(validations, MessageSuccesStatusEnum.FAILED).toString();
} catch (Exception ex) {
return new Message("Error retriving follower list : " + ex.toString(), MessageSuccesStatusEnum.FAILED)
.toString();
}
}
and this is the output :
{"result":"0","info":["username is requierd"]}
but when ever I change the RequestMethod type to post it give me the following output :
{"timestamp":1492948640973,"status":404,"error":"Not Found","message":"No message available","path":"/api/post/userPost"}
does any body know how to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Looks like you are using GET instead of POST as a request method.
#RequestMapping(value = "/userPost", method = RequestMethod.GET)
