Spring Web - 405 method not allowed-CodePudding

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.

CodePudding user response：

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

CodePudding user response：

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
