Spring Boot Request method 'POST' not supported

pom.xml

Simple Spring Boot POST request not working and returns: "Request method 'POST' not supported" error message.

The code itself looks fine to me, but I'm not so sure about the pom.xml. If the problem relies in the pom.xml, then this case is hopeless since I don't even know what all those dependencies do nor why there are duplicates.

Here is my controller class:

@Controller
public class StudentController {

@Autowired
private StudentRepository studentRepository;


@GetMapping("/")
public String list(Model model) {
    model.addAttribute("students", studentRepository.findAll());
    return "index";
}


@PostMapping("/")
public String add(@RequestParam String name) {
    Student student = new Student(name);
    this.studentRepository.save(student);
    return "redirect:/";
}
}

The code is supposed to add a student to studentRepository and redirect back to index.html and display the added student instantly.

These two are virtually the same, except this tutorial was downloaded and my own project was created in Eclipse as a Spring Boot: Spring Starter Project. Which is an Eclipse plugin.

I think that, if you are performing the request from a form, the annotation @RequestParam may be wrong. That is used to get a parameter from the url (?name=myname). You may want to try @RequestBody.
