Spring Autowiring error: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Method [name] can only contain 1 method field. Found: [PUT, POST]

Question

I have a method in one of my webservices that accepts both PUT and POST. This is because we started using PUT but later we needed to support POST too (for a new service).

@RequestMapping(
        value = "/endpointURL",
        method = {RequestMethod.PUT, RequestMethod.POST})

I am trying to create a test application that calls this method, but Spring throws an Autowiring error during startup with the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Method [name] can only contain 1 method field. Found: [PUT, POST]

Both the Spring and Feign versions are the same in both applications (webservice with this endpoint, and testing application).

Any ideas on how to fix it please?

Thank you!

Please add the full stacktrace. I dount it is Spring MVC but rather Feign that requires a single method (else how should it know what to pick). — M. Deinum, Mar 04 '19 at 10:44

Method supports various HTTP method as below. Could you post your class source code. I think you should have another problem. Maybe duplicated path or else.

@RequestMapping("/v1/echo")
@RestController
public class EchoApi {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = { RequestMethod.PUT, RequestMethod.POST })
    public ResponseEntity<String> echo(@RequestBody String body){
        System.err.println(body);
        return new ResponseEntity<String>(body, HttpStatus.OK);
    }

}

In the end it was due to the Feign version we were using. It's fixed after version 10. Will close this topic. Thanks!
