Request method 'POST' not supported spring 4 - spring-mvc

Question

Guys the issue is I'm getting the error
Request method 'POST' not supported
Here is my controller :
package com.mintad.spring.controllers;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import org.apache.log4j.LogManager;
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.http.HttpStatus;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.ui.Model;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
import com.mintad.common.beans.Gouvernorate;
import com.mintad.common.service.GouvernorateService;
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/data")
public class DataController {
private static final Logger LOGGER = LogManager.getLogger(DataController.class);
#Autowired
private GouvernorateService gouvernorateService;
#RequestMapping(value = "/gouvernorates", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = { "application/json" })
public ResponseEntity<List<Gouvernorate>> getGouvernorates() throws FileNotFoundException {
return new ResponseEntity<List<Gouvernorate>>(gouvernorateService.findAll(), HttpStatus.OK);
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/addGouvernorate", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = { "application/json" })
public #ResponseBody ResponseEntity<Gouvernorate> addGouvernorate(BindingResult result, Model model, #RequestParam(name = "name") String name,
#RequestParam(name = "delegation") String delegation, #RequestParam(name = "district") String district,
#RequestParam(name = "postalCode") String postalCode) throws IOException {
LOGGER.info("addGouvernorate called");
Gouvernorate gouvernorate = new Gouvernorate(name, delegation, district, postalCode);
gouvernorateService.addGouvernorat(gouvernorate);
return new ResponseEntity<Gouvernorate>(gouvernorate, HttpStatus.OK);
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/addTest", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public #ResponseBody String addTest(BindingResult result, Model model) {
LOGGER.info("addGouvernorate called");
Gouvernorate gouvernorate = new Gouvernorate("test", "test", "test", "test");
gouvernorateService.addGouvernorat(gouvernorate);
return "Your Professional Details Updated";
}
}
I've tried so many solutions but in vain.
I'm calling the controller method as follows using chrome Postman application :
http://localhost:8080/mintad/data/addTest (POST)
http://localhost:8080/mintad/data/addGouvernorate?name=test&delegation=test&district=test&postalCode=test (POST too)
I'll be thankful for any help !

The controller version I've added is correct but it works only if I disabled crsf in my security configuration class ass follows :
package com.mintad.spring.security;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.authentication.builders.AuthenticationManagerBuilder;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.builders.HttpSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter;
import org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.UserDetailsService;
#Configuration
#EnableWebSecurity
#ComponentScan
public class SecurityConfiguration extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
#Autowired
DataSource dataSource;
#Autowired
#Qualifier("customUserDetailsService")
UserDetailsService userDetailsService;
#Autowired
public void configureGlobalSecurity(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
auth.userDetailsService(userDetailsService);
}
#Override
protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
// #formatter:off
http.csrf().disable().
authorizeRequests()
.antMatchers("/", "/home","/data").permitAll()
.and().formLogin().loginPage("/login")
.defaultSuccessUrl("/welcome").usernameParameter("username").passwordParameter("password")
.and().exceptionHandling().accessDeniedPage("/404");
// #formatter:off
}
}

Answer 2

Guys I was completely mistaken in the way I've concieved the controller.
So addTest method is replace by the following :
#RequestMapping(value = "/gouv/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ResponseEntity<String> addGouv(#RequestBody Gouvernorate gouv) {
log("addGouv called");
gouvernorateService.addGouvernorate(gouv);
return new ResponseEntity<String>("User created", HttpStatus.CREATED);
}
Where gouvernorateService is autwired.
