SpringMVC gets an error "There is already controller bean method" although there is any other methods in the same controller

I am developing a REST API with Spring MVC.
And it builds successfully, but when I try to deploy it to Tomcat 8.0.57
it gives the following error saying I have already a bean method in that controller. But I dont have any two methods with same names or RequestMethod.
This is the Apache Tomcat Log

And these are the Controllers.
ChatUserController
#RestController
public class ChatUserController {
// Store the Users temporarily
ArrayList<User> users = new ArrayList<>();
// Get all the online users
#RequestMapping(name = "/users/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ArrayList<User> getUsers(){
users.add(new User("Janith","Hellow worlds"));
return users;
}
// Save new user / User Login
#RequestMapping(name = "/users/",method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String saveUser(#RequestBody User user){
if(user != null){
users.add(user);
return "Successfull Saved";
}else{
return "Failed";
}
}
// Remove the user / User sign out
#RequestMapping(name = "/users/{uname}", method = RequestMethod.DELETE)
public String deleteUser(#PathVariable String uname){
for(User u:users){
if(u.getUsername().equals(uname)){
users.remove(u);
return "Removed Successfully";
}
}
return "User Not found. Should be already Deleted.";
}
}
ChatMessagesController
#RestController
public class ChatMessageController {
ArrayList<Message> messagesList = new ArrayList<>();
#RequestMapping(name = "/messages/{username}", method = RequestMethod.PUT)
public ArrayList<Message> getChat(#PathVariable String username) {
// create a new list of unread messages
ArrayList<Message> myMessages = new ArrayList<>();
// add the unread messages to list
for (Message m : messagesList) {
if (m.getReciever().equals(username)) {
if (!m.isViewed()) {
m.setViewed(true);
myMessages.add(m);
}
}
}
return myMessages;
}
#RequestMapping(name = "/messages/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public Integer saveMessage(#RequestBody Message message){
if(message != null){
message.setViewed(false);
messagesList.add(message);
return new Integer(1);
}else{
return new Integer(0);
}
}
}
But this ChatUserController worked fine, I deployed and tested it.
This error is getting after adding the ChatMessageController's second method saveMessage(). And also this same error showed when the first method getChat() was in GET RequestMethod. It was fixed after I changed it to the PUT method.
I am new to Spring MVC Web API, So I appreciate any help regarding this.

In my case I go to read Spring doc to find some explanation but I finished when found this in RequestMapping interface:
Note: This annotation can be used both at the class and at the method level. In most cases, at the method level applications will prefer to use one of the HTTP method specific variants #GetMapping, #PostMapping, #PutMapping, #DeleteMapping, or #PatchMapping.
So I decided also to prefer to use #GetMapping, #PostMapping, #PutMapping, #DeleteMapping, or #PatchMapping and it works in my case.
Try to make:
#GetMapping("/users/")
public String saveUser(#RequestBody User user){
//...
}
#DeleteMapping("/users/{uname}")
public String deleteUser(#PathVariable String uname){
//...
}
P.S: also we need use value if we need set path:
#RequestMapping(value = "/users/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
name its only name, not path

In Jmeter, how do I test a Map Value?

I'm testing a Spring Web Service with Jmeter. We're also using activiti, but since I'm a newb at both, that's about as far as I can tell. Supposedly, the application is to receive parameters from the request.
However, I hit a snag here (UpdateInbdParams):
private String taskId;
private Map<String, String> vars;
public String getTaskId() {
return taskId;
}
public void setTaskId(String taskId) {
this.taskId = taskId;
}
public Map<String, String> getVars() {
return vars;
}
public void setVars(HashMap<String, String> vars) {
this.vars = vars;
}
I'm supposed to send a string, and a Map. The latter is there so supposedly, we could send any parameters we need later, without modifying the code. But how do I test the latter, like this?
That returns this:
{"vars":null}
For reference, here's part of the code that bugs out:
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public UpdateOutbdParams post(Locale locale, UpdateInbdParams model) {
UpdateOutbdParams response = new UpdateOutbdParams();
try{
try{
TaskService taskService = this.processEngine.getTaskService();
Task task = taskService.createTaskQuery().taskId(model.getTaskId()).singleResult();
RuntimeService runtimeService = this.processEngine.getRuntimeService();
/** ERRORS HERE **/
runtimeService.setVariables(task.getExecutionId(), model.getVars());
/** ERRORS END HERE **/
taskService.complete(model.getTaskId());
System.out.println(model.getVars().toString());
System.out.println("Task execution id " + task.getExecutionId());
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Inner catch: "+ex.getMessage());
}
}catch(Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("Outer catch: "+ex.getMessage());
return response;
}
return response;
}
And here's the actual error:

Inner catch: null
So I'm guessing it has something to do with how it (didn't) receive a Map value. Any ideas?
Thanks.

return "generate";
}
i saw many SO posts like : THIS and THIS and THIS but no solution for me
can some one help ?

You start by writing a response by yourself, and then return the name of the view, and thus telling Spring that it should generate an HTML page using the generate.jsp.
Make your method return void instead of a String. An HTTP response can have only one body: either it's a file attachment, or an HTML page, but not both.

#JB Nizet Thank's for help. In my case, I retured ModelAndView ojbect when download failing to forward error page:
#RequestMapping(value = { "/downloadfile.action" }, method = RequestMethod.POST)
public ModelAndView downloadFile(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res, Model model)
{
catch (Excetion e) {
return errorPage
}
}
I change that to return null

To avoid such ClassCastException, you need to add Entity into your query object.
Try below--
SQLQuery query = session.createSQLQuery("SELECT * FROM MonthlySummary WHERE MentorID="+id );
query.addEntity(MonthlySummary.class);
reports = query.list();
--rest of code

As your stack trace suggests that the its trying to cast List of MonthlySummary but actually it cannot understand the left hand object to complete this process.
This kind of strange because if you would have not set the HTTPSession attribute on the first hand it should give you Null Pointer Exception.
Are you sure that you are not setting any attribute with that key, my assumption here is that you are setting some other object in that key.
Please use the trick mentioned by Sighr and that should do the magic for you.

How to pass #RequestBody value to forwarded controller Spring MVC

I have to consume value of #RequestBody to forwarded controller. As I passed JSON as a request body and from one controller it will forward to another controller. But it second controller it gives java.io.IOException
MyController.java
#Controller
public class MyController {
/*
Request JSON like
{"personeId":"123789","personName":"Fitz"}
*/
#RequestMapping(value = "/myapp/first/", method = RequestMethod.POST,
consumes = { "application/json" })
public String authorize(#RequestBody Person person) {
//Looking good
if(Validator.validatePerson(perosn)) {
return "forward:/myapp/second/";
} else {
return "forward:/myapp/secondError/";
}
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/myapp/second/", method = RequestMethod.POST,
consumes = { "application/json" })
public #ResponseBody String login(#RequestBody Person person) {
// Not able to get Person object here.
// Getting java.io.IOException: Stream closed :(
System.out.println("---> "+person.getPersonName());
return "success";
}
#RequestMapping(value = "/myapp/secondError/", method = RequestMethod.POST,
consumes = { "application/json" })
public #ResponseBody String loginError() {
return "error";
}
}

So there is any way to achieve this scenario with Spring MVC.

you are getting the exception because #RequestBody annotation reads the underlying servlet input streams and consumes it, so you cannot read it twice.
If you look closer at the stack trace you can note the origin
org.apache.catalina.connector.InputBuffer.readByte(InputBuffer.java:339)
You are trying to (re)read the data from a stream that is closed.
If you want to keep the first controller as it now you must change the second, you can choose for example to redirect to the second controller and put the object in session or to extract a method from the second controller that does the business logic and call it from the first controller.
If you can put the json in a parameter of the http call (authorize) you can avoid this problem, but (authorize) it's not a REST ednpoint anymore, but something like a "simple" http integration.

You should not forward in that case, but simply call the other methods :
#RequestMapping(value = "/myapp/first/", method = RequestMethod.POST,
consumes = { "application/json" })
public String authorize(#RequestBody Person person) {
//Looking good
if(Validator.validatePerson(perosn)) {
return login(person);
} else {
return loginError();
}
}
And this would only have sense if /myapp/second/ and /myapp/secondError/ are real URLs, if not, and if methods login and loginError should only be called from authorize method, they should simply be private methods in the controller.
Of course, if it involved business rules, it should go in service layer.

I don't think your approach is ideal. I would have only one call to the controller, and then start delegating the different tasks to different services.
if(Validator.validatePerson(perosn)) {
return loginService.login(person);
} else {
return "error";
}

The accepted answer is correct, there is no proper solution.
However here's a workaround that worked for me. I wanted to build a dispatcher that takes in json and forwards the request internally based on a command field:
#Controller
public class StackoverflowExampleController {
private static final ObjectMapper OBJECT_MAPPER = new ObjectMapper();
#PostMapping("/post")
public ModelAndView post(#RequestBody String body) {
JsonNode tree = OBJECT_MAPPER.readTree(body);
String command = tree.get("command").asText();
return new ModelAndView("forward:/" + command + "?json=" + URLEncoder.encode(body));
}
#PostMapping("/test")
#ResponseBody
public String test(#RequestParam String json) {
return json;
}
}
