Hi guys -

I've implemented a sub-resource that works perfectly for GET requests,
because the sub-resource has getters for each property. Instead of
creating setters for each property that commit to the database, I
decided to write a single method to handle all PUT requests that can do
a write/commit at the end.

The GET requests work perfectly, but the PUT requests return 405. You
can see how I'm building the requests from the JerseyTest client, its
the same URI:

         String str =
target("/admin/component/0999/version").request().get(String.class);
         logger.info("Original version: {}", str);

         Entity<String> e = Entity.entity(str + ".1",
MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_TYPE);
         Response res =
target("/admin/component/0999/version").request().put(e);
         assertEquals(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK, res.getStatus());


My sub-resource locator in the "Admin" endpoint is:

     @Path("/component/{id: [0-9]*}")
     public LicensedComponent getComponent(@PathParam(value = "id")
final String id) throws Exception {
         return new LicensedComponent(this, id);
     }

Then in LicensedComponent I have a getter for each property, but
attempted to make a single "update" method for all PUT requests, as follows:

      /**
        * Get the whole object
        */
     @GET
     @Produces({ MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON, MediaType.APPLICATION_XML })
     public LicensedComponent get() {
         return this;
     }

     @Override
     @GET
     @Path("/version")
     public String getVersion() {
         return super.getVersion();
     }

...more getters

   @PUT
     @Consumes(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)
     @Path("/{attr}")
     public Response update(@PathParam(value = "attr") String attr,
String value) throws Exception {
         logger.debug("PUT request for attribute {}", attr);
         Response response = null;
         .....stuff
         response = Response.status(Status.OK).build();
         return response;
     }

Any pointers on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!
