The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource - submit button to make a search

Question

I am trying to search through a table in the database and return the values on button click. This is the form that contains the search button

<div class="form-group">    
                          <form action="searchT">
                              <label class=" control-label col-sm-2">No</label>
                              <div class="col-sm-4"> <input class="form-control" type='text' name='searchName' id='searchName'/> </div>
                              <div class="col-sm-4"><input class="btn btn-success" type='submit' value='Validate'/></div>
                          </form>
                         </div>

This is the controller

@RequestMapping("searchT")
    public ModelAndView searchTOE(@RequestParam("searchName") String searchName) {  
        logger.info("Searching the T: "+searchName);
        List<TOE> tinList = TOEService.getAllTins(searchName);
        return new ModelAndView("serviceDescription", "tList", tList);      
    }

This is the error response when I click the submit button

type Status report

message Request method 'POST' not supported

description The specified HTTP method is not allowed for the requested resource.

Please what could be wrong?

you make a post request through your form and then in the controller you expect a get request.

Try something like this in the front end and tell me if this worked for you change

<form action="searchT" >

to

<form action="searchT" method="get">

if you put a breakpoint does it go through this line logger.info("Searching the T: "+searchName); – Periklis Douvitsas Jul 08 '16 at 11:11
I am deploying it to tomcat as a war file. – Blaze Jul 08 '16 at 11:17
can you test is locally? – Periklis Douvitsas Jul 08 '16 at 11:19
In the logs do you see now "Searching the T: " and the value that you enter in the input box? – Periklis Douvitsas Jul 08 '16 at 11:22
Except the change that I just suggested (changing the form action to get) did you make any other changes? – Periklis Douvitsas Jul 08 '16 at 11:25
Yeah. is not from ur changes – Blaze Jul 08 '16 at 11:31
So, If my answer solved the problem that you have asked can you mark it as solved and start another question with the errors that you are facing now? – Periklis Douvitsas Jul 08 '16 at 11:37
I was about trying your answer before this error came up. – Blaze Jul 08 '16 at 11:39
Can you revert the changes that you have made (up to the point that you have asked this question) and let me know if this works? – Periklis Douvitsas Jul 08 '16 at 11:41
I have done that and still the code is failing. I just want to raise a new ticket and come back to this solution – Blaze Jul 08 '16 at 11:49
