I am trying to send a request to the following resource, but I get a HTTP 405 method not allowed.

@Path("/areas")
@Api(tags = "Managin aareas")
@Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON })
public interface AreaResource
{

    @GET
    @ApiOperation(value = "Gets all the areas")
    Response getareas(@Context UriInfo uriInfo);

    @GET
    @Path("/{"+Constants.ID+"}")
    @ApiOperation(value = "Finds an area by id")
    Response getAreaById(@PathParam(Constants.ID) String id);

    @POST
    @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    @ApiOperation(value = "Creates a new Area")
    Response createArea(Area area);
}

I have moved @Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON) to be on top of only createArea but I still get a 405 method not allowed error. What might the problem?

Thanks!

how are you calling it? – Scary Wombat Jul 04 '17 at 04:22
Since you're sending a JSON object which might cross the length of the GET request, send it as POST instead of GET. – Aakash Verma Jul 04 '17 at 04:33
@ScaryWombat, the possible duplicate thing doesn't really solve my problem. I am not sure where I am wrong. – sarah Jul 04 '17 at 05:09
Sarah, the curl is doing a GET, but your code is limited to a POST – Scary Wombat Jul 04 '17 at 06:31
@ScaryWombat, but I have added the `@GET` Annotation on top. Will that not work? – sarah Jul 04 '17 at 06:47
