I have created a mapping in web.xml something like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/about/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
In my controller I have something like this:
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
@Controller
public class MyController{
@RequestMapping(value="/about/us", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView myMethod1(ModelMap model){
//some code
return new ModelAndView("aboutus1.jsp",model);
}
@RequestMapping(value="/about", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView myMethod2(ModelMap model){
//some code
return new ModelAndView("aboutus2.jsp",model);
}
}
And my dispatcher-servlet.xml has view resolver like:
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
p:viewClass="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"
p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
p:suffix=".jsp"/>
To my surprise: request .../about/us
is not reaching to myMethod1 in the controller. The browser shows 404 error. I put a logger inside the method but it isn't printing anything, meaning, its not being executed.
.../about
works fine! What can be the done to make .../about/us
request work? Any suggestions?
You need to use @RequestMapping(value="/us", method=RequestMethod.GET)
or you need to request about/about/us
