Update and Delete not working on Spring Boot Application

Question

I was trying to create a simple CRUD spring boot application after watching an online course. But the update and delete functions are not working. GET and POST is working, but PUT and DELETE is not working. I have inserted screenshots for the postman response at the end. I'm getting 200 OK response on postman but, why is it not working? Also, I'm using PostgreSQL for database. Please help.

The session controller ( delete and update are the last two methods) :

package com.organizer.conferencedemo.controllers;

import com.organizer.conferencedemo.models.Session;
import com.organizer.conferencedemo.repositories.SessionRepository;
import org.springframework.beans.BeanUtils;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;
import java.util.List;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1/sessions")
public class SessionsController {

    @Autowired
    private SessionRepository sessionRepository;

    @GetMapping
    public List<Session> list() {
        return sessionRepository.findAll();
    }

    @GetMapping
    @RequestMapping("{id}")
    public Session get (@PathVariable Long id) {
        return sessionRepository.getOne(id);
    }

    @PostMapping
    public Session create(@RequestBody final Session session) {
        return sessionRepository.saveAndFlush(session);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = {"id"}, method = RequestMethod.DELETE)
    public void delete(@PathVariable Long id)
    {

        sessionRepository.deleteById(id);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = {"id"}, method = RequestMethod.PUT)
    public Session update(@PathVariable Long id, @RequestBody Session session)
    {
        Session existingSession = sessionRepository.getOne(id);
        BeanUtils.copyProperties(session, existingSession, "session_id");
        return sessionRepository.saveAndFlush(existingSession);
    }
}

Session repository:

package com.organizer.conferencedemo.repositories;

import com.organizer.conferencedemo.models.Session;
import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;

public interface SessionRepository extends JpaRepository<Session, Long> {
}

application.properties:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/conferencedb
spring.datasource.username=
spring.datasource.password=
spring.jpa.database-platform = org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = none
spring.jpa.hibernate.show-sql = true

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.jdbc.lob.non_contextual_creation=true

spring.datasource.initialization-mode=always
spring.datasource.initialize=true
spring.datasource.continue-on-error=true

create new session :

]

update that session : After update the response should be with updated session name and description. But it's showing the old previous session name and description.

]

delete that session :

For delete it shouldn't return anything. But it's returning details of that session id.

Answer 1

You have to enclose path variable parameters in the brackets in you mapping annotation in order this to work, otherwise PUT and DELETE requests wouldn't be matching and therefore ignored.

Eg:

@RequestMapping(value = "{id}", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
@RequestMapping(value = "{id}", method = RequestMethod.DELETE)
