If you put that URL into a browser, it will use the HTTP GET method,
not DELETE. Its returning a 405 (Method not allowed" status because
your class doesn't have a method annotated with @GET.
You can issue a DELETE from a browser using JavaScript and
XmlHttpRequest or you can overload a POST method. You shouldn't use a
GET method to delete stuff since GET is supposed to be safe.

The value of the @PathParam has to match the path variable name. So,
e.g. in your code above you have
@Path("delete/{arg1}")
so to get the value of the "arg1" path parameter you need to use:
@PathParam("arg1")
