Question

i hav created a jsp page from which i m taking some values and on submit it should pass the parameters to the java class using rest.

< form id=”payment” method=”post” action=”addtogroup”>

< ol style=”padding: 0;”>

< li>< label for=”groupId”>Group id:< /label>

< input type=”text” id=”groupId” name=”groupId”/>

< br />

< li>< label for=”vendorId”>Profile Id :< /label>

< input type=”text” id=”vendorId” name=”vendorId”/>

< li>
< input type=”submit” value=”Submit”/>

< br />
< /ol>
< /form>

and the java code is:

@RequestMapping(value = “/addtogroup/{groupId}/{vendorId}”,method = RequestMethod.POST)

public String addtoGroup(@ModelAttribute("groupId") String groupId,@ModelAttribute("vendorId") String profileId){       
    Authentication auth = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
     String username = auth.getName();
     System.out.println("group id is="+groupId);
     System.out.println("profileId  is="+profileId);
     System.out.println("username  is="+username);
     grpDao.addToGroup(groupId,profileId,username);

    return "addtogroup";
}

when i type [http://localhost:8080/biznex/rest/addtogroup/2/13] in the address bar directly the code is executed.
but when i click submit button in the jsp i get page not found error.
plz help me out.

< form id="payment" method="post" action="addtogroup"> This statement means submit the FORM data using POST method to the url “currentpath”/”addtogroup”

However, your RESTFUL Server side component expects the url in the form of /addtogoup/{groupid}/{vendorid} in a GET method

I would suggest you to have a JavaScript method which converts your form fields to the URI path- using jQuery or plain JavaScript
