I stumbled across this question after reading the log of my spring boot applicaiton in debug mode.
At startup, the While the spring RequestMappingHandlerMapping is "Looking for request mappings in application context" and finds the resquest mappings defined on my controllers. Later the BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping is "Looking for URL mappings in application context" and fails to find one for every bean defined in my context (no URL paths identified)
My question is, what the difference between a request mapping and an url mapping, can someone link a documentation to read what the BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping is looking for?
