I want to create simple hello world application with one controller. Plain spring without any classes works, but when I add a controller, change xml files (following step-by-step tutorials), and try to open localhost/project/hello.html, it throws me 404 error.

package com.beingjavaguys.controller;  

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;  
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;  
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;  

@Controller  
public class HomeController {  

 @RequestMapping("/hello")  
 public ModelAndView test() {  
  String message = "Welcome to Spring 4.0 !";  
  return new ModelAndView("hello", "message", message);  
 }  
}

web.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" 
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    </session-config>
    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>redirect.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>
</web-app>

dispatcher-servlet.xml:

       http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd">

    <context:component-scan base-package="com.beingjavaguys.controller" />

    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping"/>

    <!--
    Most controllers will use the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping above, but
    for the index controller we are using ParameterizableViewController, so we must
    define an explicit mapping for it.
    -->
    <bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
        <property name="mappings">
            <props>
                <prop key="index.htm">indexController</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean id="viewResolver"
          class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
          p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
          p:suffix=".jsp" />

    <!--
    The index controller.
    -->
    <bean name="indexController"
          class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController"
          p:viewName="index" />

</beans>

I tried changing @RequestMapping into ("/hello.htm"), adding request type, adding @RequestMapping info the whole class, but nothing works. What's wrong?

  • please post your Redirect.jsp. Commented Apr 3, 2014 at 10:34
  • Try opening localhost/project/hello.htm? Change the load on startup for dispatcher to 1 Commented Apr 3, 2014 at 10:35
  • <% response.sendRedirect("index.htm"); %> - That's all there is Commented Apr 3, 2014 at 10:35
  • @Octopus opening it displays 404 error, I wrote it at the top of the thread. Commented Apr 3, 2014 at 10:36
  • Yes, you said you opened with .html extension. Now, just with .htm! Commented Apr 3, 2014 at 10:37

You need to add <mvc:annotation-driven /> or @EnableWebMvc to your configuration to enable MVC-config in java code.
