RestTemplate

[rrr]

I am using the restTemplate object to post to a controller in another web app deployed on tomcat- I keep getting the following error:
java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

Here is the code to post the request:

RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
restTemplate.getForObject("http://localhost:8080/myapp" + "/{message}",String.class, "mymessage");

Here is the controller server side code:
@RequestMapping(value = "/myapp/{message}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void processMessage(@PathVariable String message){
//TODO
}

Any help into what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

post the complete error stack trace for more details

Here is the stack trace:
org.springframework.web.client.ResourceAccessExcep tion: I/O error: Unexpected end of file from server; nested exception is java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

I am running the 2 web apps on tomcat 6 & just trying to make a rest call between the 2 to send data

Hello

If that is the complete error stack trace is not very useful

I suggest you read the Spring Core Reference documentation about REST, your server side

Here is the controller server side code:
@RequestMapping(value = "/myapp/{message}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void processMessage(@PathVariable String message){
//TODO
}

is not returning a server http status to the client. Something like OK 202

Read the documentation for a better understanding.
