java - HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'PUT' not supported

Question

I have the following controller:

@RestController
public class RestaurantController {
    @Autowired
    RestaurantService restaurantService;
    @RequestMapping(value = "/restaurant/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ResponseEntity<List<Restaurant>> listAllRestaurants() {
        System.out.println("Fetching all restaurants");
        List<Restaurant> restaurants = restaurantService.findAllRestaurants();
        if(restaurants.isEmpty()){
            return new ResponseEntity<List<Restaurant>>(HttpStatus.NO_CONTENT);//You many decide to return HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND
        }
        return new ResponseEntity<List<Restaurant>>(restaurants, HttpStatus.OK);
    }
    @RequestMapping(value = "/restaurant/{id}", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
    public ResponseEntity<Restaurant> updateRestaurant(@PathVariable("id") int id, @RequestBody Restaurant restaurant) {
        System.out.println("Updating Restaurant " + id);

        Restaurant currentRestaurant = restaurantService.findById(id);

        if (currentRestaurant==null) {
            System.out.println("Restaurant with id " + id + " not found");
            return new ResponseEntity<Restaurant>(HttpStatus.NOT_FOUND);
        }

        currentRestaurant.setName(restaurant.getName());
        currentRestaurant.setDescription(restaurant.getDescription());
        currentRestaurant.setIcon(restaurant.getIcon());

        restaurantService.updateRestaurant(currentRestaurant);
        return new ResponseEntity<Restaurant>(currentRestaurant, HttpStatus.OK);
    }
}

Here is my calls from the PostMan. First I am making the GET call to get all the restaurants and it works fine Second I am trying to update the object by I am getting the following error. At the Tomcat 8.0.32, I am getting the following log:

13-Feb-2016 16:55:09.442 WARNING [http-apr-8080-exec-9] org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound.handleHttpRequestMethodNotSupported Request method 'PUT' not supported

I don't understand this is how possible. And here is my dependencies:

Answer 1

I had the same error but for me it was caused by the fact that I had ommited the ID as URL parameter. I ommited it because the ID was present in the JSON body.

When I changed .../restaurant to ...restaurant/1, the error went away.
