HTTP Status 405 - Method Not Allowed Error for Rest API


Am asking this question after doing some research. I did followed the solutions given for this kind of error but did not work for me. Any suggestions as where am going wrong in the below code.I am creating a REST API but when I request the url it is giving me the 405 error.Below is the URI am requesting.

    http://localhost:8080/Project/services/start/version

Below is the code snippet.

@Path("/start")

public class StartService {
@GET
@Path("/version")
@Produces({"text/plain","application/xml","application/json"})
public String getVersion() {
    String ver="";

    try{


          Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
          Process pr = rt.exec("C:\\server\\dgr -v" );

          BufferedReader stdInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(pr.getInputStream()));
          BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(stdInput);
         // String ver ="";
          StringBuffer verOutput = new StringBuffer();
                while((ver =  input.readLine()) != null){
                    verOutput.append(ver + "\n");
                    System.out.println(ver);
                }


        }catch (Throwable t)  
          {  
            t.printStackTrace();  
          }  


        finally {  

        }
    return ver;  }

}

Solution

  • @Produces({"text/plain","application/xml","application/json"})
    

    change this to

    @Produces("text/plain")
    

    This is because the headers/content-type being sent to the API must match what it is expecting, or else it will return HTTP 405.
