[gatein-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (GTNMGMT-61) REST API should return 405 for some not allowed methods

William Siqueira created GTNMGMT-61: --------------------------------------- Summary: REST API should return 405 for some not allowed methods Key: GTNMGMT-61 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/GTNMGMT-61 Project: GateIn Management Issue Type: Enhancement Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: rest Reporter: William Siqueira Assignee: Nick Scavelli Priority: Minor When trying to perform POST, PUT or DELETE on a method that doesn't update the resource, the API returns the resource representation instead returning 405. Taking as example the following URL: http://localhost:8080/rest/private/managed-components/mop/portalsites/cla... I can retrieve it using curl and it's expected: $ curl --user root:admin -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -X GET http://localhost:8080/rest/private/managed-components/mop/portalsites/cla... The problem is that when I try to POST, PUT or DELETE, it keeps returning the representation in XML: curl --user root:admin -H 'Content-Type: application/xml' -X DELETE http://localhost:8080/rest/private/managed-components/mop/portalsites/cla... It should not happen. I believe that the most suitable response should be 405 - Method Not Allowed. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
