I'm trying to move all my jsps into a folder under WebContents/WEB-INF/view but I keep getting a 404. Going to http://localhost:8080/test-app/ doesn't find my index.jsp under the view folder, but is ok in the WebContent folder. Why might this be?

Folder structure:


dispatcher-servlet.xml



web.xml

Hey,

You should try...
http://localhost:8080/test-app/index it won't find an index.jsp file if you are only pointing at the root...

Ah, folders under WEB-INF are protected and must be accessed via code.

Hey,

That shouldn't matter, that's why you have created a viewResolver in your spring configuration and why you have used the <mvc:view-controller /> annotation.
There is however another problem in your configuration that is probably the issue, you have not created Spring's servlet in the web.xml you posted. Therefore Spring will never be initialised.

Hey,

I appreciate your help, I updated my code in the first post.

<mvc:view-controller /> - I use this tag because I used this on placement this summer, and I thought I'd use it again, but I can't seem to set up the application properly with Tomcat, before, I was using Google App Engine.

If I go to my index.jsp by going to http://localhost:8080/test-app/ I get a 404 (Going to http://localhost:8080/ gets me the Tomcat management page).

Hey,

The URL pattern for the servlet is still wrong, it should go from the context root (test-app) so it should be /*.

Ok got it, should be / and not /*.

I just created a test app with your settings (apart from the sitemesh filter which I commented out and the listener which I did the same as it expects an applicationContext.xml file).

Tried / and not /*, and commented out the sitemesh, restarted the server too. I'm using Tomcat 7, using the Tomcat installaion in Eclipse.

Edit:
Can you upload your test app for me to test please?

I'm out of ideas then, it's certainly working from mine.
Just make sure there are no errors coming up when tomcat starts.

Sorry.

Can we use mvc:view-controller tag for displaying a tiles view.
Eg:If we have a tiles definition of the form <definition name="userLogon.page" template="webapp/app/layout/baseLayoutExterior.jsp" extends="basePageDefinition">
Can we write <mvc:view-controller path="/logon" view-name="userLogon.page"/> in our servlet.xml file.
I am getting an HTTP 404 RESOURCE NOT FOUND ERROR on this whereas a normal hello.jsp page is displayed without problems.
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
