I have the requirement of returning JSON/XML data from my controller.From what i found,I needed @ResponseBody
in my method and for that I need <mvc:annotation-driven>
enabled. I have tried all sorts of RnD but am still stuck! :(
Apparently my problem lies in my servlet.xml file (the schema isnt getting validated!) I am using Spring 3.1.1 & have explicitly put in spring-mvc-3.1.1.jar in my classpath.
Here's my servlet-context file sample-servlet.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc-3.1 http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">
<context:component-scan base-package="com.sample.controller"/>
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
<!--Use JAXB OXM marshaller to marshall/unmarshall following class-->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.BeanNameViewResolver" />
<bean id="xmlViewer"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.xml.MarshallingView">
<constructor-arg>
<bean class="org.springframework.oxm.jaxb.Jaxb2Marshaller">
<property name="classesToBeBound">
<list>
<value>com.sample.model.SampleClass</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
<property name="viewResolvers">
<list>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
My controller class looks like this :
@Controller
public class XmlController {
@RequestMapping(value="/getXml",method = RequestMethod.POST)
public @ResponseBody AssociateDetail getXml(){
System.out.println("inside xml controller.....");
AssociateDetail assoBean=null;
try{
AssociateService add=new AssociateService();
assoBean=add.selectAssociateBean();
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return assoBean;
}
}
Now the problem is <mvc:annotation-driven />
gives error:
cvc-complex-type.2.4.c: The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'mvc:annotation-driven'.
And I have tried all the workarounds suggested on this site and beyond. Have updated my schema namespaces, using Spring 3.1.1 and @ResponseBody
.
As the error suggests there's something wrong with the schema declaration. You do not have the xsd
s declared.
Use this instead.
