REST using Spring

Question

I am trying to create a REST service project in java with name RESTServ using Spring but I am not able to run it. I am using Wildfly 8.1 , JDK 1.8 and Spring - 4.2

This is my User Bean:

package com.rest.service;

public class User {

    private int userid;
    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;
    private String email;

    public int getUserid() {
        return userid;
    }

    public void setUserid(int userid) {
        this.userid = userid;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getEmail() {
        return email;
    }

    public void setEmail(String email) {
        this.email = email;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "User [userid=" + userid + ", firstName=" + firstName
                + ", lastName=" + lastName + ", email=" + email + "]";
    }

}

This is my Service Controller:

package com.rest.controller;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import com.rest.dao.UserService;
import com.rest.service.User;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/user/")
public class SpringServiceController {

    UserService userService = new UserService();

    @RequestMapping(value = "/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET, headers = "Accept=application/json")
    public User getUser(@PathVariable int id) {
        User user = userService.getUserById(id);
        return user;
    }
}

I have created DBUtility and User Service files to get data from the database. This is my web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.1">
  <display-name>RESTServ</display-name>
  <welcome-file-list>
    <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>rest</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
            <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/rest-servlet.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>rest</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
  <listener>
    <listener-class>
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
    </listener-class>
</listener>
</web-app>

And this is my rest-servlet.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
    xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans    
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-4.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-4.2.xsd">
    <context:component-scan base-package="com.rest.controller" />
    <mvc:annotation-driven />
</beans>

When I am trying to access the REST service through URL deployed on WildFly 8.1 - localhost:8080/RESTServ/user or localhost:8080/RESTServ/user/1 it shows following error:

Context Path:/RESTServ
Servlet Path:
Path Info:/user

I don't know what I am doing wrong...Can anyone help me as I am new to this concept?

You have not given Id in url assume user id is 1 than your request will be like localhost:8080/RESTServ/user/1 — Naveen Ramawat

Also, you have two slashes: /user/ and /{id}. Use /user. And the servlet is named rest but you're mapping mvc-dispatcher instead, which doesn't exist. — JB Nizet

Yeah I corrected that now it throws org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException — Rishi

Well, localhost:8080/RESTServ/user is not mapped in you controller, only localhost:8080/RESTServ/user/{id} is. So you need to add this resource:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public Iterable<User> getUsers() {
    return userService.listAll();
}

Also your @RequestMapping on the class should be @RequestMapping("/user") (without the slash at the end).

By the way, it is not really relevant here, but I'm pretty sure that UserService is meant to be autowired.
