spring config server not refreshing properties - spring

Question

I have a spring boot app that uses the config server to load its properties. The properties exist in the src.main/resources/config directory of the config server project.
When I hit the restful endpoint the properties are loaded fine intially then when I change the properties it still displays the old properties value. How do I call the refresh endpoint as when I call the URL? Do I call it on config-service or hello-service? Even though from the logs it looks to have mapped them it still throws this 405 error
config-server
http://localhost:8889/refresh
or hello-service
http://localhost:9001/refresh
I always get the following
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

There was an unexpected error (type=Method Not Allowed, status=405).
Request method 'GET' not supported
In the config-server at src/main/resources/config I have the following file
hello-service.properties
#very-so-much=testing
very-so-much=testing second time
second-time=checking again
In my hello-service I have the folloiwng
application.class
#Bean
#RefreshScope
CustomerProps customerProps( #Value("${very-so-much}") String exclamations, #Value("${second-time}") String test) {
CustomerProps p = new CustomerProps();
//p.setText(exclamations);
p.setText(test);
return p;
}
Controller class
// #Value("${very-so-much}")
// private String prop;
//
// #Value("${second-time}")
// private String anotheerProp;
#Autowired
public GreetingController(CustomerRepository repository, GridFsTemplate gridFileSystem, CustomerProps props) {
this.repository = repository;
this.fs = gridFileSystem;
this.props = props;
}
#RequestMapping("/greeting")
public Greeting greeting(#RequestParam(value="name", defaultValue="World") String name) {
name = props.getText();
return new Greeting(counter.incrementAndGet(),
String.format(template, name));
}
The start up logs for config-server show the endpoints below

Thanks

Answer 1

As this is a POST request and thus running a curl command as below
curl -d {} http://localhost:9001/refresh
did refresh my properties.

Answer 2

For Spring 2
Url - http://localhost:<portNo>/actuator/refresh
Request Method Type - POST
