The error i get for second way is,

Unable to resolve the request "api/post/offset/5/limit/10".

The urls you have set will work like this way,

if you set api/post(any model name),it will redirect to list page.

if you set with get request api/post?id=1(any model name),it will redirect to view page with that id.

if you set with put request api/post?id=1(any model name),it will redirect to update page with that id.

This way it will work.

In first case,with ypu have wriiten ‘?’,which indicates you are sending a get request,& will work.

In second case,it will unable to identify which method put,post,get or delete,so it will not work.You have to use first method only,there is no alternative.
