Spring MVC-Request method 'POST' not supported: org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound handleHttpRequestMethodNotSupported

Question

I am getting the following warning: Request method 'POST' not supported.

Controller method:

@Controller
public class UserServiceController {

@RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.POST)
@Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, rollbackFor = Exception.class)
public String login(@RequestParam Map<String,String> requestParams) throws Exception{
    System.out.println(requestParams.values());
    loginService.userAuthentication(requestParams.get("loginuname"), requestParams.get("loginpassword"));

    System.out.println("Before return");
    return "static/profile.html";
}
}

Dispatcher-servlet.xml

<mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/WEB-INF/static/" />

index.html

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function submitForm(){
    document.login.submit();
}
</script>
<div id="login" class="login">   
<form action="http://localhost:8080/SampleApp/login" name="login" method="post">
      <input type="text" value = "Email" name="loginuname" id="loginuname" class="loginbasetxt">

      <input type="text" value="Password" name="loginpassword" id="loginpassword" class="loginbasetxt">
      <img src="static/img/tb-login-button.png" onclick="submitForm()"/>
</form>  
</div>

However, if i would change the method=RequestMethod.GET and correspondingly at login page then it would work.

Please note, problem is at return "static/profile.html";

FYI location of profile.html is WEB-INF/static/

Thanks!!

Get that warning where? And are you submitting the login information as request parameters in the POST or as a form? — chrylis -cautiouslyoptimistic-

are you sure your form's URL is correct and action attribute is action="POST"? — isah

Please post the http form, the request that is sended, as well as the annotations next to the class keyword of your controller class. — Ralph

When you POST a form to an HTTP server, the form's contents aren't sent as query parameters; instead, the form is (usually) uploaded as an entity of type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Instead of using @RequestParam in your method, define a Java class that has fields corresponding to the form fields, and use @ModelAttribute FormClass form.

you should try this:

return "forward:/static/profile.html";
