spring mvc 3 No mapping found for HTTP request with URI

Question

Error info: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/TestSpringWebApp/hello.htm]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using annotation to map request to controller. controller code :

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/hello.htm")
public class HelloController  {    
    protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());

    public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)    
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        String now = (new Date()).toString();

        logger.info("Returning hello view with " + now);

        return new ModelAndView("hello", "now", now);    
    }    
}

Dispatcher-servlet.xml as follows:

    for the index controller we are using ParameterizableViewController, so we must
    define an explicit mapping for it.

Answer 1

You also need to add

<mvc:annotation-driven />

to your Dispatcher-servlet.xml file.

Answer 2

You have to add @RequestMapping to the method, not to the class. If you add it to the class it will be applied as a prefix to all the methods mapping of this class, but you also have to map the methods of the class.

Answer 3

You can have @RequestMapping for class also, but every method also should have its own " @RequestMapping" please see below example.

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/appointments")
public class AppointmentsController {

    private final AppointmentBook appointmentBook;

    @Autowired
    public AppointmentsController(AppointmentBook appointmentBook) {
        this.appointmentBook = appointmentBook;
    }

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public Map<String, Appointment> get() {
        return appointmentBook.getAppointmentsForToday();
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/{day}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public Map<String, Appointment> getForDay(@PathVariable @DateTimeFormat(iso=ISO.DATE) Date day, Model model) {
        return appointmentBook.getAppointmentsForDay(day);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/new", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public AppointmentForm getNewForm() {
        return new AppointmentForm();
    }

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String add(@Valid AppointmentForm appointment, BindingResult result) {
        if (result.hasErrors()) {
            return "appointments/new";
        }
        appointmentBook.addAppointment(appointment);
        return "redirect:/appointments";
    }
}
