Delete requestmapping is throwing me this error 405 Http method Get is not supported by this URL

Question

Below is my method to delete and return a string, simple and straightforward

@RequestMapping(value = "/deletetest", method = RequestMethod.DELETE) @ResponseBody public String DeleteUser() { return "something"; }

But I go Get method not supported, which is weird since i state that my method = RequestMethod.DELETE

Any insight?

If you set an endpoint to RequestMethod.DELETE the endpoint will only accept a HTTP DELETE request. Your browser issues a GET request.

You could use Postman or a similar tool to issue a DELETE request.
