I have a very simple endpoint using Jersey. My URL is static, it doesn’t require any request parameters. It looks like this: 

@GET
@Path("/mydata")
@Produces(javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)  
public String getData()  {
  return "{'name': 'value'}";
}

However, whenever I request this URL, I always receive a HTTP Status code of 405 – Method Not Allowed.

The weird thing is, that if I change the @Path annotation and define a path variable e.g. @Path("/chart/{blah}") it works fine.

Does anyone have an idea why I have to define a path variable to get this to work? I don’t need a path variable and it seems silly to add one just to get a 200 response.

    Thanks for the suggestions. It ended up being me stupidly entering an incorrect url-pattern for my jersey SpringServlet. It was / instead of /* 

    <servlet>
   <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>Chart Service</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
