Issue
**Hi everyone. I ran into a problem while developing a web application. The saveEmployee method does not work properly and throws the corresponding error. In the project I use Spring-boot + Thymeleaf. I think there is an error in these two files or a problem in the configuration. But so far I haven't found anything. **
myRestController.java
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/shop")
public class myRestController {
@Autowired
private EmployeeService employeeService;
@GetMapping("/allEmployees")
public String allEmployees(Model model) {
List<Employee> employees = employeeService.getAllEmployees();
model.addAttribute("employeesList", employees);
return "allEmployees";
}
@GetMapping("/allEmployees/{name}")
public String getEmployeeByName(@PathVariable String name, Model model) {
List<Employee> employees = employeeService.findAllByName(name);
model.addAttribute("employeesList", employees);
return "allEmployees";
}
@GetMapping("/newEmployee")
public String addEmployee(Model model) {
Employee employee = new Employee();
model.addAttribute("employee", employee);
return "addNewEmployee";
}
@RequestMapping()
public String saveEmployee(@ModelAttribute("employee") Employee employee){
employeeService.saveEmployee(employee);
return "index";
}
addNewEmployee.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" xmlns:th="http://www.thymeleaf.org">

</html>
Solution
In your myRestController.java, I am not seeing any @PostMapping defined. In addNewEmployee.html, it appears you are attempting to call shop/allEmployees with a POST rather than the GET method. If your intention is to pass a body or form to the shop/allEmployees endpoint, you may want to consider either changing your @GetMapping to a @PostMapping that accepts a @RequestBody or creating an entirely new @PostMapping that accepts a @RequestBody.
