Hopefully this might help 
Create a new VirtAction, set the method as Get and Resource Path as /{operation}. Include the curly brackets

    Hi,

    Tried as you suggested. My VirtAction is GET /{operation} but when I send a request to the virtual service, I am getting a HTTP405 Method not allowed error.

     

    Thanks!

        Getting a HTTP404 because the URL in the incoming request is not able to match with the Virtaction path. I have a HTTP200 in my dispatch response file. It is not even trying to see what is there in the dispatch settings.
