Why SpringMVC Request method 'GET' not supported?

I trying @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.POST) but is error

Code is

 @Controller
 public class HelloWordController {
 private Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(HelloWordController.class);

 @RequestMapping(value = "/test", method = RequestMethod.POST)
 public String welcome() {
  logger.info("Spring params is welcome");
  return "/WEB-INF/jsp/welcome";
 }

}

web.xml is

<servlet>
<description>This is Spring MVC DispatcherServlet</description>
<servlet-name>SpringMVC DispatchServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
  <description>SpringContext</description>
  <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
  <param-value>classpath*:springmvc.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

  <servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SpringMVC DispatchServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

and springmvc.xml is

index.jsp is

<form action="<%=request.getContextPath() %>/test" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="submit"> 
</form>

I input submit botton brower is error

HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'GET' not supported type Status report

method = POST will work if you 'post' a form to the url /test.

if you type a url in address bar of a browser and hit enter, it's always a GET request, so you had to specify POST request.

Google for HTTP GET and HTTP POST (there are several others like PUT DELETE). They all have their own meaning.

Change

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

To

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

I solved this error by including a get and post request in my controller: method={RequestMethod.POST, RequestMethod.GET}

Apparently some POST requests looks like a "GET" to the server (like Heroku...)

So I use this strategy and it works for me:

@RequestMapping(value = "/salvar", method = { RequestMethod.GET, RequestMethod.POST })
