HTTP Status 405 - Request method POST not supported Spring MVC

Question

Im getting this error  HTTP Status 405 - Request method  POST  not supported   What I am trying to do is make a form with a drop down box that get populated based on the other value selected in another drop down box  For example when I select a name in the customerName box the onChange function in the  jsp page should be run and the page submitted then loaded again with the corresponding values in the customerCountry box   however I m getting this HTTP Status 405 error  I have searched the internet for a solution but haven t been able to find anything that helped  Here is the relevant parts of my code      part of jsp page    lt html gt       lt head gt           lt meta http-equiv  Content-Type  content  text html  charset UTF-8  gt           lt title gt Insert title here lt

I was getting similar problem for other reason (url pattern test-response not added in csrf token) I resolved it by allowing my URL pattern in following property in config/local.properties:

csrf.allowed.url.patterns = /[^/]+(/[^?])+(sop-response)$,/[^/]+(/[^?])+(merchant_callback)$,/[^/]+(/[^?])+(hop-response)$

modified to

csrf.allowed.url.patterns = /[^/]+(/[^?])+(sop-response)$,/[^/]+(/[^?])+(merchant_callback)$,/[^/]+(/[^?])+(hop-response)$,/[^/]+(/[^?])+(test-response)$

You might need to change the line    RequestMapping value     add   method   RequestMethod GET    to   RequestMapping value     add   method    RequestMethod GET RequestMethod POST

Check if you are returning a  ResponseBody or a  ResponseStatus  I had a similar problem  My Controller looked like that    RequestMapping value   user   method   RequestMethod POST  public String updateUser  RequestBody User user       return userService updateUser user  getId        When calling with a POST request I always got the following error   HTTP Status 405 - Request method  POST  not supported  After a while I figured out that the method was actually called  but because there is no  ResponseBody and no  ResponseStatus Spring MVC raises the error   To fix this simply add a  ResponseBody    RequestMapping value   user   method   RequestMethod POST  public  ResponseBody String updateUser  RequestBody User user       return userService updateUser user  getId        or a  ResponseStatus to your method    RequestMapping value   user   method   RequestMethod POST   ResponseStatus value HttpStatus OK  public String updateUser  RequestBody User user       return userService updateUser user  getId

The problem is that your controller expect a parameter hasId false or hasId true  but you are not passing that  Your hidden field has the id hasId but is passed as hasCustomerName  so no mapping matches   Either change the path of the hidden field to hasId or the mapping parameter to expect hasCustomerName true or hasCustomerName false

I found the problem that was causing the HTTP error    In the setFalse   function that is triggered by the Save button my code was trying to submit the form that contained the button            function setFalse                document getElementById  hasId   value   false               document deliveryForm submit                document submitForm submit      when I remove the document submitForm submit    it works           function setFalse                document getElementById  hasId   value   false               document deliveryForm submit      Roger Lindsj   Thank you for spotting my error where I wasn t passing on the right parameter

I am not sure if this helps but I had the same problem   You are using springSecurityFilterChain with CSRF protection  That means you have to send a token when you send a form via POST request  Try to add the next input to your form    lt input type  hidden  name     csrf parameterName   value     csrf token    gt
