The error code should use the HttpServletResponse constant for better readability and maintainability. The established pattern in the codebase is to use HttpServletResponse.SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED instead of the raw numeric value 405. This can be seen throughout the codebase in similar ajax processor files (e.g., components/application-mgt/org.wso2.carbon.identity.application.mgt.ui/src/main/resources/web/application/add-service-provider-finish-ajaxprocessor.jsp:31, components/entitlement/org.wso2.carbon.identity.entitlement.ui/src/main/resources/web/entitlement/prettyPrinter_ajaxprocessor.jsp:5).
