Spring Social /connect/twitter Request method 'GET' not supported

Question

I'm following http://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-twitter/ to setup spring social for twitter with Spring boot but when I run the application and redirected to localhost:8080/connect/twitter I'm getting:

There was an unexpected error (type=Method Not Allowed, status=405). Request method 'GET' not supported

I know this have something to do with with the mapping of ConnectController how do I really fix this?

@Controller
public class HelloTwitterController {
    private final Twitter twitter;
    private final ConnectionRepository connectionRepo;

    @Inject
    public MessoTwitterController(Twitter twitter, ConnectionRepository connectionRepo) {
        this.twitter = twitter;
        this.connectionRepo = connectionRepo;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value ="/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String welcomeTwitter (Model model) {
        if (connectionRepo.findPrimaryConnection(Twitter.class) == null)
            return "redirect:/connect/twitter";

        model.addAttribute(twitter.userOperations().getUserProfile());
        model.addAttribute("friends", twitter.friendOperations().getFriends());
        return "welcomeTwitter";
    }
}

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAutoConfiguration
@ComponentScan("com.mypackage")
public class MyApplication {
       public static void main(String[] args) {
           SpringApplication.run(MyApplication.class, args);
    }
}

what is the URL you are hitting and is there no path mapping on top of your controller? — Juned Ahsan

There is no view resolver in your code so the views (returned strings) cannot be rendered.

You have to add your view resolver (e.g. thymeleaf, freemarker, jsp) or put this line in application.properties

spring.social.auto_connection_views=true

This will render your views using default templates.
