Rest api with same route of different entity type and using put and post method

Question

<routes>
    <route_collection>
        <route>/cart/addtocart/:device_id/:product_id/:qty</route>
        <action_type>collection</action_type>
     </route_collection>
     <route_entity>
       <route>/cart/addtocart/:device_id/:product_id/:qty</route>
        <action_type>entity</action_type>
     </route_entity>
</routes>

Can we not use same route for rest API call ? <route_collection> with action type collection for POST method and <route_entity> with action type entity for PUT method?

When I tried the above I am getting the below error.

{"messages":{"error":[{"code":405,"message":"Resource method not implemented yet."}]}}

Thanks.!

I have done following way:

Step 1: creating api2.xml in app\code\local\YourPackageName\Restapi\etc as shown beelow :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
 <api2>
    <resource_groups>
        <restapi translate="title" module="restapi">
            <title>Restapi</title>
            <sort_order>10</sort_order>
        </restapi>
    </resource_groups>
    <resources>
       <addtocart translate="title" module="restapi">
            <group>restapi</group>
            <model>restapi/api2_addtocart</model>
            <title>Add to Cart</title>
            <sort_order>10</sort_order>
            <privileges>
                <guest>
                    <create>1</create>
                    <retrieve>1</retrieve>
                    <update>1</update>
                    <delete>1</delete>
                </guest>
            </privileges>
            <attributes translate="data" module="restapi">
                <data>Data</data>
                <productid>Product Id</productid>
                <itemid>Item Id</itemid>
                <productname>Product Name</productname>
                <qty>Qty</qty>
                <price>Price</price>
                <options>Options</options>
            </attributes>
            <routes>
                 <route_collection>
                    <route>/addToCart</route>
                    <action_type>collection</action_type>
                </route_collection>
                <route_entity>
                    <route>/addToCart/:device_id/:product_id/:qty</route>
                    <action_type>entity</action_type>
                </route_entity>
            </routes>
            <versions>1</versions>
        </addtocart>
    </resources>
</api2>

Step2: Creating model in app\code\local\YourPackageName\Restapi\Model\Api2\Addtocart.php as shown bellow :

class YourPackageName_Restapi_Model_Api2_Addtocart extends     Mage_Api2_Model_Resource
{
}   

Step3: Finally extending the model addtocart for Guest user in app\code\local\Bluehorse\Restapi\Model\Api2\Addtocart\Rest\Guest\V1.php as shown bellow :

class YourPackageName_Restapi_Model_Api2_Addtocart_Rest_Guest_V1 extends YourPackageName_Restapi_Model_Api2_Addtocart
{
 protected function _create(array $data){
  echo '<pre>';
  print_r($data);
  exit;

  }

 protected function _update(array $data){
  echo '<pre>';
  print_r($data);
  exit;

  }
}   

** POST url:/api/rest/addToCart ** PUT url: /api/rest/addToCart/[device_id]/[product_id]/[qty]

Hope this will help you.
