title: Using Postman to test REST persistence endpoints
body: <p>I have been trying to build a secured REST endpoint to save (and return) a person object.  So far I have a method as below:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@RequestMapping(value = "/save/", method = RequestMethod.POST)
  public Person save(@RequestBody Person person) {
      return repository.save(person);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have been trying to use Postman to test this endpoint, but don't seem to be able to structure the URL in the correct way.  I should say that I have successfully tested find(Long id) (/find/{id}) and findall.</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:8080/api/save?person={"id":2,"first":"Brian","last":"Smith"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>First, is this the correct way to structure an endpoint for saving an object, and is the Postman structure correct?</p>
