HTTP Status 404 on Spring 3.1 MVC app?

Up vote 1 down vote favorite share g+ share fb share tw.

I am trying to create and run a simple Spring 3.1 mvc web application where I have defined a controller that simply returns "hello" in the response body using the class below: package com.jr.freedom. Controllers; import org.springframework.stereotype. Controller; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.

RequestMapping; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation. RequestMethod; import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation. ResponseBody; @Controller public class Hello { @RequestMapping(value = "/hello", method = RequestMethod.

GET) @ResponseBody public String helloWorldInJson() { return "hello"; } } I have tried this URL but I keeps returning a 404 error? http://localhost:8080/FreedomSpring/hello Here is my servlett: here is the web. Xml file FreedomSpring org.springframework.web.servlet.

DispatcherServlet 1 FreedomSpring *. Htm org.springframework.web.context. ContextLoaderListener contextConfigLocation log4jConfigLocation /WEB-INF/log4j.

Xml index. Jsp org.springframework.web.util. Log4jConfigListener And finally my mvc-config.

Xml I am using tomcat 7 on a windows 7 machine by the way. No errors are found from my logfile from tomcat: 13-Feb-2012 12:37:36 org.apache.catalina.core. ApplicationContext log INFO: Destroying Spring FrameworkServlet 'FreedomSpring' 13-Feb-2012 12:37:36 org.apache.catalina.core.

Your DispatcherServlet is mapped to *. Htm: FreedomSpring *. Htm But you are accessing the controller through non-matching URL: http://localhost:8080/FreedomSpring/hello.

You have three choices: Change you dispatcher servlet to: FreedomSpring /* but in this case all requests will be handled through the Spring MVC, including images and other static resources Use extension in controllers as well: /*. Htm and map htm so that you use: http://localhost:8080/FreedomSpring/hello.htm. Map controllers to a different subdirectory: /mvc/* to access them you will have to use: http://localhost:8080/FreedomSpring/mvc/hello without making any changes to the controller itself.

1 Brilliant thanks, you are a life saver – jonney Feb 13 at 14:03.

Looks like your Dispatcher servlet is filtering only the request matching *.htm. So I guess it's normal that http://localhost:8080/FreedomSpring/hello returns a 404.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
