Error 405 while using PUT method on Postman

I am using Postman and having trouble with using PUT method to update information.

I have following controller:

@RequestMapping("api/v1/person")
@RestController
public class PersonController {
    private final PersonService personService;

    @Autowired
    public PersonController(PersonService personService) {
        this.personService = personService;
    }
  

    @PutMapping
    public void updatePerson(@PathVariable("id") UUID id, @RequestBody Person personToUpdate){
        personService.updatePerson(id, personToUpdate);
    }
}

public int updatePerson(UUID id, Person newPerson){
        return personDao.updatePersonById(id, newPerson);
    }

Here is procedure that I update the Person information:

    @Override
    public int updatePersonById(UUID id, Person update) {
        return selectPersonById(id)
                .map(person -> {
                    int indexOfPersonToUpdate = DB.indexOf(person);
                    if (indexOfPersonToUpdate >= 0){
                        DB.set(indexOfPersonToUpdate,new Person(id, update.getName()));
                        return 1;
                    }
                    return 0;
                })
                .orElse(0);
    }

Here is my calls from the PostMan. I tried POST, GET and DELETE and they all work fine, but when I used PUT to update data then I got this error:

Does anyone know what my problem is?

I tried to double check the URL as well as search a few sites for a solution but those didn't work for me

Solution

  • Update your controller like this

    @PutMapping("/{id}")
public void updatePerson(@PathVariable("id") UUID id, @RequestBody Person personToUpdate){
    personService.updatePerson(id, personToUpdate);
}
