full authentication is required to access this resource - Rest webservice call

Question

My application is developed using spring framework.I have created a new rest webservice using spring framework.

@Controller
public class MyTestController {
   @Inject
    private MyService service;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/acc/Status/{accNum}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    @ResponseBody
    public String getAccStatus(@PathVariable final String accNum, final HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception
        {
        //logic goes here
        return "success";
  }

MyService:

public interface BusinessCalendarService {

 //methods..
}

I want to see the response of the above webservice. I am using postman tool to see the responses. When i gave the request as
http://localhost:8080/myApplication/rest/acc/Status/322298973, it is showing the below message.

HTTP Status 401 - Full authentication is required to access this resource

The existing controllers works fine, it is with my controller which is showing the above message. Please suggest do i need to do any code modifications? I have followed the same way as other controllers were written.

Answer 1

You either need to authenticate the user before posting to that uri, or, if it's a uri that should be able to be accessed without being authenticated, add the uri to your authorizeRequests().antMatcher() within the http security part of your config.
