6,655 Pointsadd-a-controller-method-for-saving-a-new-contact
In this challenge (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/spring-with-hibernate/getting-started-with-crud-in-spring-hibernate/add-a-controller-method-for-saving-a-new-contact), below is what I have submitted for the method, but it's telling me:
@RequestMapping annotation doesn't specify correct value for the `path` (or `value`) element
@RequestMapping(value = "/contacts", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String add(Contact contact) {
// TODO: Save the Contact object
contactService.save(contact);
return "redirect:/contacts/" + contact.getId();
}
Please help me figure out what is wrong.
