Description

@Component
@Path("/files")
public class FilesService{

@AutoWired
private FileGetService fileGetService;

@POST
@Path("/v1.0")
public void saveFile(final InputStream inputFile)

{ //some logic }

@Path("/

{fileId}

")
public FileGetService getFile()

{ return fileGetService; }

}

This class FilesService has two methods one to serve GET and other POST

getFile() - sub-resource locator which returns a instance of FileGetService
saveFile(..) - resource endpoint which has logic to serve the POST requests

When a class has both sub-resource locator and a resource endpoint any request with wrong pathparam is throwing 405 instead of 404.

For Example a POST request with below URL throws 405 instead of 404.
http://localhost:8080/context/files/v2.0

Ideally it should have thrown 404 as path param is v2.0 instead of v1.0.
