spring - how to deny the direct access to servlet mapping(POST method used) from the url

For example, I have a servlet mapping /servlet, and actually it is requested by a form using POST Method. If I type in the mapping directly without using the form in the browser, the server will give me a 405 page.

HTTP Status 405 - Request method 'GET' not supported

What I want to do is to catch this exception using spring security. I was thinking to restrict this servelet request by using POST method only so that the direct url access will be denied. However, I searched on the internet but I didn't find an answer. Please guide me how to do this, thanks.

If you want to override default error message you should create your own error page and map it into web.xml like this

<error-page>
    <error-code>405</error-code>
    <location>/internal-server-error.htm</location>
</error-page>
<error-page>
    <error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/405.html</location>
</error-page>

and your 405.html will contain your personalized error message for the user.
