不支持Springboot请求方法'POST'

Question

I have just started learning Java Spring Boot for REST API development. With below code, GET method is working fine but POST doesn't.

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/users")
public class UsersController {

    @Autowired
    private UserRepository userRepository;

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public List<User> getAll() {
        return userRepository.findAll();
    }

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String saveUser() {
        return "Saved";
    }

}

Tested POST method in Postman app using Content-Type as application/json

Error,

{
    "timestamp": 1497116929266,
    "status": 405,
    "error": "Method Not Allowed",
    "exception": "org.springframework.web.HttpRequestMethodNotSupportedException",
    "message": "Request method 'POST' not supported",
    "path": "/api/users/"
}

In the log I can see,

s.w.s.m.m.a.RequestMappingHandlerMapping : Mapped "{[/api/users],methods=[POST]}" onto public java.lang.String com.betasquirrel.controller.UsersController.saveUser()
s.w.s.m.m.a.RequestMappingHandlerMapping : Mapped "{[/api/users],methods=[GET]}" onto public java.util.List<com.betasquirrel.model.User> com.betasquirrel.controller.UsersController.getAll()

o.s.w.s.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping  : Mapped URL path [/**/favicon.ico] onto handler of type [class org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.ResourceHttpRequestHandler]

Java and springboot version for maven,

<parent>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.4.RELEASE</version>
    <relativePath/> 
</parent>

<properties>
     <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
     <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>
     <java.version>1.8</java.version>
</properties>

Finally, solved the problem by running the project using maven command.

Instead of running project using IDE's run button, just went to the terminal in IDE and executed command

mvn spring-boot:run

As it is a REST implementation, now I can access these,

GET /api/users/ or /api/users
POST /api/users/ or /api/users

Work like a charm!
