Question

I'm building a project using Spring MVC3.1,in my project I'm implementing the use of restful resources.for this purpose I have downloaded the "Simple Rest Client" extension of Google Chrome Web Browser.But whenever I'm trying to send data from client side I'm getting the error
"404 Not Found".below is my controller class named "BookRestController.java"
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/services")
public class BookRestController {
private InBookService inBookService;
public InBookService getInBookService() {
return inBookService;
}
#Autowired
public void setInBookService(InBookService inBookService) {
this.inBookService = inBookService;
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/book", method = RequestMethod.POST, headers = "Accept=application/xml,application/json")
public #ResponseBody String addUserBook(#RequestBody UserBook userBook) {
inBookService.saveBook(userBook);
return "true";
}
}
Can anyone give me any solution for this?????????

and I'm invoking the following url from Simple Rest Client:
http://localhost:8087/BookShopMaintanance-war/services/book
can anyone give me any suitable solution to this??????

Answer 1

Be sure that you are invoking the url < host>/< context>/< servlet_maping>/services/book. Are you using POST as method and including the header "Accept=application/xml,application/json" in your request?.
Other common problem is that the controller maybe not including in the .
In any case put the log level of Spring-mvc to debug it should show you enought info to resolve the problem.

Answer 2

Sorry about the previous response, try an OPTIONS request to the same url and see what does it returns.
It could be that the problem is related to the fact that you don't specify what the method produces.
#RequestMapping(value = "/book", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces={MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML_VALUE})
