Spring Controller URL Mapping issues

Question

I have the following URL mapping in controller

@RequestMapping(value = "/additem.htm", method = RequestMethod.GET)
@RequestMapping(value = "/additem/fileupload.htm", method = RequestMethod.POST)

I click on page with href="additem.htm" and it goes to the controller with value="/additem.htm" above. I fill up form in that and submit the form.

The form gets posted to action="additem/fileupload.htm", which goes to the controller with value="/additem/fileupload.htm". Once i complete this fileupload controller and returns a jsp the browser urls turns to "http://localhost:8080/Dream/additem/fileupload.htm".

The problem is, when I again click on the first link with href="additem.htm", it is trying to search for controller with mapping like "additem/additem.htm".

Even when i hover over the link the browser is showing the url as http://localhost:8080/Dream/additem/additem.htm and it throws an error. How do i resolve this URL issue?

When you define a link in a jsp, use the c:url tag to generate urls relative to your app's context path:

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

<a href="<c:url value="/additem.htm" />">Click here</a>

It will prepend your application's context path to the href. It should generate:

<a href="/Dream/additem.htm">Click here</a>

and take note of the leading slash in the value of the c:url. Without that, it'll be relative and you'll end up with just what you have now.
