Http Status 500 returned on Spring MVC Using REST Templates and JSON Response Format

Question

My Project Consist Of Four Tables as Following :

1. Questions - Question_id, Question Text
2. User - User_ID, Name
3. Question_Answer - UserID, Question_ID, Answer
4. QuestionType - QuestionID, Tag

I have to Generate questions based on Multiple Tags

Or Simply return List of all Questions (when no Tags are Provided)

Or insert answers Provided by The Users into The Question_Answer Table.

The Controller class SpringServiceController.java (generates result in JSON format)is as Follows :

package com.bargadss.SpringService.Controller;

import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.bargadss.SpringService.DAO.QuestionService;
import com.bargadss.SpringService.Domain.*;


@RestController

@RequestMapping("/service/question/")
public class SpringServiceController {
  QuestionService questionService=new QuestionService();

 @RequestMapping(value = "/{tag1},{tag2},{tag3}", method =  RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=application/json")
 public List<Questions> getQuestions(@PathVariable("tag1") String tag1, @PathVariable("tag2") String tag2, @PathVariable("tag3") String tag3) {
  List<Questions> Qobj=questionService.getQuestionByTag(tag1, tag2, tag3);
  return Qobj;
 }

 @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=application/json")
 public List<Questions> getAllQuestions() {  
  List<Questions> Qobj=questionService.getAllQuestion();
  return Qobj;   
 }

 @RequestMapping(value="/insert/{user_id}/{question_id}/{answer}",method = RequestMethod.POST,headers="Accept=application/json")
  public List<Questions> addQuestions(@PathVariable int user_id,@PathVariable int question_id,@PathVariable String answer) throws ParseException { 
      Question_Answer qtnAns = new Question_Answer();
      qtnAns.setUser_id(user_id);
      qtnAns.setQuestion_id(question_id);
      qtnAns.setAnswer(answer);
      questionService.insertAnswer(qtnAns.getUser_id(), qtnAns.getQuestion_id(), qtnAns.getAnswer());
      return questionService.getAllQuestion();        
  }        
  }

The ListQuestionController.java uses Spring REST temaplate ( generates JSP page ) is as follows:

package com.bargadss.SpringService.Controller;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

import com.bargadss.SpringService.Domain.*;

@Controller
public class ListQuestionController {

 @RequestMapping("/listQuestion/{tag1},{tag2},{tag3}")
    public ModelAndView listQuestions(@PathVariable("tag1") String Tag1, @PathVariable("tag2") String Tag2, @PathVariable("tag3") String Tag3) { 
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
        String url="http://localhost:8080/FetchQuestions/service/question/{tag1},{tag2},{tag3}";
        List<LinkedHashMap> Qobj=restTemplate.getForObject(url, List.class,Tag1,Tag2,Tag3);
        return new ModelAndView("listQuestion", "questions", Qobj);
    }

 @RequestMapping("/listAllQuestion/")
    public ModelAndView listAllQuestion() { 
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
        String url="http://localhost:8080/FetchQuestions/service/question/";
        List<LinkedHashMap> Qobj=restTemplate.getForObject(url, List.class);
        return new ModelAndView("listQuestion", "questions", Qobj);
    }

 @RequestMapping("/insertQuestionAnswer/{user_id}/{qtn_id}/{answer}")
    public ModelAndView insertQuestionAnswer(@PathVariable("user_id") String user_ID,
           @PathVariable("qtn_id") String qtn_ID, @PathVariable("answer") String answer) { 
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
        String url="http://localhost:8080/FetchQuestions/service/question/insert/{user_id}/{qtn_id}/{answer}";
        List<LinkedHashMap> Qobj=restTemplate.getForObject(url, List.class,user_ID,qtn_ID,answer);
        return new ModelAndView("listQuestion", "questions", Qobj);
    }

  }

The QuestionService.java Class performs the DAO activity as Follows :

package com.bargadss.SpringService.DAO;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.sql.Statement;
import java.text.ParseException;

import java.util.List;
import com.bargadss.SpringService.Domain.*;
import com.bargadss.SpringService.Utility.DBUtility;


public class QuestionService {

private Connection connection;

 public QuestionService() {
  connection = DBUtility.getConnection();
 }

 public void insertAnswer(int userId,int qtnId,String answer){
    //Question_Answer objQA = new Question_Answer();
    PreparedStatement preparedStatement = null;
    try{

         preparedStatement.setInt(1, userId);
         preparedStatement.setInt(2, qtnId);
         preparedStatement.setString(3, answer);
         int result = preparedStatement.executeUpdate();
         if(result == 0)
            System.out.println("INSERTION OF DATA FAILED");
    } catch (SQLException e){
         e.printStackTrace();

       }
    return qtns;
 }

On Execution of The Project (Apache Tomcat 7.0.12) with The Following URL it generates HTTP STATUS 500

http://localhost:8080/FetchQuestions/insertQuestionAnswer/3/9/True

Also When I Execute The Following URL it generates HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'GET' not supported

http://localhost:8080/FetchQuestions/service/question/insert/3/9/True

What Am I Doing Wrong ? Am I Missing Something ?

The Stack Trace For HTTP Status 500 is As Follows :

Answer 1

Also When I Execute The Following URL it generates HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'GET' not supported

Change the request method of SpringServiceController.SpringServiceController method from POST to GET . And it should solve your problem.

@RequestMapping(value="/insert/{user_id}/{question_id}/{answer}",method = RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=application/json")
