405 response code on POST to my java api from POSTMAN

I have created a simple java restAPi in eclipse as dynamic web project. I am attempting to POST from the POSTMAN to the same endpoint(that I am doing GET) but I get 405 response code.

The web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee 
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.1">
<display-name>JsonJavaApi</display-name>

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>Book API</servlet-name>
  <servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>jersey.config.server.provider.packages</param-name>
    <param-value>test</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>Book API</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

The Book class:

public class Book {

public String author;
public String name;

public Book(String author, String name) {
    super();
    this.author=author;
    this.name=name;
}
public String getAuthor() {
return author;
}

public void setAuthor(String author) {
this.author = author;
}

public String getName() {
return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}

public Book() {
    super();
}

}

The restapi code:

@Path("/jason")
public class JavajsonRestApi {
@GET
@Path("/json")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Book getJson() {

    Book book = new Book();
    book.setAuthor("eswar");
    book.setName("eswar");
    return book;
}
}

The endpoint :

http://localhost:8080/JsonJavaApi/rest/jason/json

As I understand it, the permission to post is not given to this end point but how to do I give it such that the client side can post from the body itself, this helps get rid of the 405 error?

Any help is appreciated.

HTTP 405 Status codes means the method is not authorized but the url itself exists and points to a resource. If you want to access your endpoint using POST method, you will have to either create another endpoint with @POST annotation on top of it, add @POST annotation on top of your actual endpoint (not sure this one works, never tried so far), or simply change @GET to @POST.

EDIT

I think you've got some misunderstanding of what and how HTTP works. You are making an HTTP request. This request might have a body (GET and DELETE methods don't have bodies). The body can be gathered in Spring using @RequestBody SomePojoClass body as one of the parameters of your controller method. Please see : https://baeldung.com/spring-request-response-body

HTTP 405 status code means Method Not Allowed. Since you have the method annotated with @GET and you are trying to do the @POST so you are getting the status code.

So if you want to make a POST request to same endpoint then remove the @GET annotation as you can have a method annotated with only one HTTP annotations at a time.

Add web.xml

   <servlet>
    <servlet-name>jersey-serlvet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer    
    </servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
        <param-value>com.sample.rest</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>com.sun.jersey.api.json.POJOMappingFeature</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

And update jersey version 1.8 above
