WARN : org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - Request method 'GET' not supported

Question

i get this exception when starting the server : HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'GET' not supported

my controller is :

@Controller
public class HomeController {

    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HomeController.class);

    @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String home(Locale locale, Model model) {
        logger.info("Welcome home! The client locale is {}.", locale);

        return "login";
    }

}

i really don't know what is the problem, since i am a very new to spring, could not even figure out what the problem is.

could somebody guide me to fix this

Have you checked if string `login` is referring correctly in `faces-navigation.xml` to the page you want to navigate ? — dShringi, Mar 19 '13 at 06:34
`faces-navigation.xml` is JSF stuff. There is no JSF tag but spring-mvc. — dgregory, Mar 19 '13 at 06:38
Yes, It is always good to explain when down voting the question or answer. — Joe, Mar 19 '13 at 11:49

RequestMapping is wrong.

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)

It will take only POST request and return 405 StatusCode any request not POST.

So, It should be

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)

decrease spring mvc's log level to debug or trace and let us know what's come out. – dgregory Mar 19 '13 at 06:41

Try this

change

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.POST)

to

@RequestMapping(value = "/login", method = RequestMethod.GET)

(In your previous post I noticed that you have login-page=login)
