Asked on April 23, 2016
Hi I am new to AngularJS. I am saving data with ngResource and Spring REST.
How to resolve the following error.
"Error: [$resource:badcfg] Error in resource configuration for action `save`. Expected response to contain an object but got an array (Request: POST http://localhost:8080/spring/data/person/22)
http://errors.angularjs.org/1.4.9/$resource/badcfg?p0=save&p1=object&p2=array&p3=POST&p4=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fspring4-1%2Finfo%2Fperson%2F22

What I am observing is that I have configured URL as
http://localhost:8080/spring/data/person/:id
and I am expecting
http://localhost:8080/spring/data/person
to save data but It is picking wrong URL.
Need help

While using AngularJS ngResource to save data if you do not want to pass id in your URL, then id should no be assigned any value. If id has no value, AngularJS strips the id from URL and URL will be as follows.
http://localhost:8080/spring/data/person
One thing we need to take care while calling 'save', the returned data should be an object not an array of JSON, we should return Spring ResponseEntity with proper HTTP status.
