Spring rest call not working - rest

Question

I had written a very small rest service. When I am trying through the rest cilent, I am getting the error as "method not supported". Can anybody, please suggest me on this.
**controller class**
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/movie")
public class MovieController {
#RequestMapping(value="/{name}", method = RequestMethod.PUT, consumes="application/json")
public #ResponseBody Student getMovie(#PathVariable String name, ModelMap model, #RequestBody Student student, HttpSession session) {
Map<Integer, Student> empData = new HashMap<Integer, Student>();
empData.put(1, student);
return student;
}
}
**Request I am sending throught Rest DHC Client**
URL: http://localhost:8081/SpringMVC/movie/test
method selected: PUT
Headers: Content-Type:application/json
Body: {
"userId":"21",
"firstName":"srinu",

I use only Jersey to do what you want.
My web.xml file is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
<display-name>appName</display-name>
<filter>
<filter-name>jersey</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.servlet.ServletContainer</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.appName.rest</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.JSPTemplatesBasePath</param-name>
<param-value>/Pages/</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.WebPageContentRegex</param-name>
<param-value>/(resources|(Pages))/.*</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>jersey</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
And in the rest class i return a Viewable:
My rest class:
#GET
#Path("/PathToAccessPage")
#Produces(MediaType.TEXT_HTML)
public Viewable GetMyClassPage(#Context HttpServletRequest request, #Context UriInfo ui, #Context HttpHeaders hh) {
try {
MyClass myClass = getMyClass();
return new Viewable("/page", myClass);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
return new Viewable("/error", "Error processing request: " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
Hope you help!

Finally, I got the solution. I didn't import the below two jars.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
</dependency>
As I am using spring MVC and as you can see in the above code, I am giving as consumes=application/json, I thought springMVC will take care of that. It's my mistake and also, I think the error which was renedered by spring, should be something specific to this. Anyway, got the solution. Thanks all for the help.
