According to the Stargate documentation 
(http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hbase/Stargate) I should be able to perform a 
POST operation to perform a table schema update.  The docs say to supply a 
"well formed schema fragment" for a table schema update.  My issue is the test 
code below always returns:

<body><h2>HTTP ERROR 405</h2>
<p>Problem accessing /TransactionREST/. Reason:
<pre>Method Not Allowed</pre>

What am I missing?  I cannot find any errors in the log files.

It's worth mentioning that I've been able to successfully create a table via 
the REST api but now I want to use the api to make a table schema change, like 
in this example I want to add a new column-family to a table.

class AlterTableExampleREST {

      private static final String ALTER_TABLE =
            
"{\"name\":\"TransactionREST\",\"ColumnSchema\":[{\"name\":\"foo\"}]}";

      public void modifyTable() throws IOException {
            // Setup a Cluster list adding all known REST server hosts
            Cluster cluster = new Cluster();
            cluster.add("127.0.0.1", 8080);
            // Create Client to handle HTTP communication
            Client client = new Client(cluster);
            Response response = client.post("/TransactionREST/", 
"application/json",
                  Bytes.toBytes(ALTER_TABLE));
            if(response != null) {
                  System.out.println("response code: " + response.getCode());
                  if(response.hasBody()) {
                        System.out.println("reponse body: " + 
Bytes.toString(response.getBody()));
                  }
            }
      }
}

Thanks in advance!
