message: HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

Before anyone tries to mark this as duplicated or mark down because of a lack of research I acknowledge this question already exists on stack overflow but the offered solutions do not solve my problem so I wanted to see if people could solve this unique problem I am experiencing.

this is my form

<form:form method="POST" action="addQuestion" >

   <input type="text" name="questionId" />Enter Id<br>
   <input type="text" name="theQuestion" />Enter Q <br>
   <input type="text" name="category" />Enter Category<br>
   <input type="text" name="correctAnswer" />Enter correct answer<br>
   <input type="submit" value="Next"  >

</form:form>

and this appears in my web.xml

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>addQ</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>main.WebController</servlet-class>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>addQ</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/addQuestion</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

and this is my webcontroller

@RequestMapping("/addQuestion")
        public String addQuestion(ModelMap model, @RequestParam(value="question", required = true)  String theQuestion , @RequestParam(value="questionId", required = true)  Integer questionId, @RequestParam(value="category", required = true)   String category, @RequestParam(value="correctAnswer", required = true)   String correctAnswer) throws SQLException{
            ViewController viewController = new ViewController();
            viewController.createQuestion(questionId, theQuestion, category, correctAnswer);
            model.addAttribute("message", "Hello hope this flipping works");

        return "addQuestion";
    }

and the error message I am getting is HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL

Do this:

@RequestMapping(value="/addQuestion", method=RequestMethod.POST)
