[Request Factory]: 405 (HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL)

[Roger Küng]

Good Day

I am new to GWT and try to have the request factory server communication working.

I setup everything according to the documentation: 

http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideRequestFactory.html

But I receive the following error:

POST http://localhost:9876/Example/gwtRequest 405 (HTTP method POST is not supported by this URL)

I looked everywhere and just can't figure out what I am missing.

I hosted the project on github:

https://github.com/Aranir/gwt-factoryRequest

I tried now for hours to resolve the issue, maybe it has is due to the way I wrote my gradle file. I am relatively new to java development and the building tools aren't familiar to me, so it might simply be that I didn't handle correctly all the necessary dependencies in the gradle file.

Any help would be appreciated.

You have various problems, your project layout is incorrectly (WEB-INF/web.xml must be placed inside src/main/webapp), servlet name typo (servlet and servlet-name has different names), client side request factory are not pointing to the correct place (requesting http://localhost:8080/pay-me-back/Example/Example.html but the servlet is exposed http://localhost:8080/pay-me-back/gwtRequest), etc...

Maybe you can use one of this sample projects as a starting point, and I think that is easier to start with maven instead of gradle:

Thank you, the correct setup with the help of the maven archetypes helped!
