@RequestMapping at class level issue

[joe das]

Hi,

I am new to spring.this question may be too silly but i realyy need help.
I am having issues when I am using @RequestMapping in class level.

Please have a look and let me know the cause of this problem:
CONTROLLER CLASS:
package com.gontuseries.hellocontroller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/greet/*")
public class HelloController {

@RequestMapping("/welcome")
protected ModelAndView Hello() {
ModelAndView modelandview = new ModelAndView("HelloPage");
modelandview.addObject("welcomeMessage", "Jyoti");

return modelandview;
}


}

FRONT CONTROLLER:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="
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
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">

<context:component-scan base-package="com.gontuseries.hellocontroller" />
<mvc:annotation-driven/>

<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" >
<property name="prefix">
<value>\WEB-INF/</value>
</property>
<property name="suffix">
<value>.jsp</value>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>

when it is returning the path, i dont know why "/greet/" is getting appended to the classpath..beacuse of which the correct location of jsp page is misleading and i get a 404 error.

ERROR MESSAGE:
type Status report

message /NewSpPr/greet/WEB-INF/HelloPage.jsp

description The requested resource (/NewSpPr/greet/WEB-INF/HelloPage.jsp) is not available.



Please reply to my issue.

The problem is that you think you're saying one thing but Spring is taking what you said to mean something different. What do you think you're telling Spring by putting that annotation at the class level? Because Spring is taking it to mean that all handling methods on this controller are relative to the /greet path.

Please refer the below code:
Controller:

package com.gontuseries.hellocontroller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
public class HelloController {

@RequestMapping("greet/welcome")
protected ModelAndView Hello() {
ModelAndView modelandview = new ModelAndView("HelloPage");
modelandview.addObject("welcomeMessage", "Jyoti");

return modelandview;
}

@RequestMapping("greet/home")
protected ModelAndView Hello() {
ModelAndView modelandview = new ModelAndView("HelloPage");
modelandview.addObject("welcomeMessage", "Jyoti");

return modelandview;
}

@RequestMapping("greet/country")
protected ModelAndView Hello() {
ModelAndView modelandview = new ModelAndView("HelloPage");
modelandview.addObject("welcomeMessage", "Jyoti");

return modelandview;
}

}

In the above code, i dont want to repeat "greet" everytime, so i want to use it in class level...but when I am using it in class level while returning the response "greet" is getting appended in the classpath.So what is the solution?

[joe das]

Please consider the three method names are different for the above sample code
:P

Please UseCodeTags when posting code.

In your InternalResourceViewResolver bean, the prefix should be "/WEB-INF/", not "\WEB-INF/".
Also ensure that HelloPage.jsp is under /WEB-INF directory.
