I tried to build a small app in spring-boot, it's structure is given below. I am having a weird problem with @RequestMapping where it's able to find all the resources except one.
Here is the web.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Step 2: Set up URL mapping for Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Following is applicationContext.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

in com.example.controller package I have two files FrontController.java and FormController.java.
This is how they look like.
FrontController.java
package com.example.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class FrontController {
public FrontController() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@RequestMapping("/")
public String showHomePage() {
System.out.println("Reached In");
return "home";
}
@RequestMapping("/spring")
public String spring() {
return "spring";
}
}
FormController.java
package com.example.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class FormController {
public FormController() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@RequestMapping("/showform")
public String showForm() {
return "showForm";
}
@RequestMapping("/formResp")
public String formResp() {
return "formResp";
}
}
Now on loading my project in the server the default page I get is home.jsp which get displayed successfully with the following stack trace.
09:21:49.390 [http-nio-8080-exec-3] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceView - View name 'home', model {}
09:21:49.392 [http-nio-8080-exec-3] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceView - Forwarding to [/WEB-INF/views/home.jsp]
09:21:49.427 [http-nio-8080-exec-3] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - Completed 200 OK
Same thing happens with showForm.jsp page and formResp.jsp page in FormController.java, they get displayed successfully. Stacktrace below.
09:21:57.107 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - GET "/WebAppDemo/showform", parameters={}
09:21:57.107 [http-nio-8080-exec-4] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping - Mapped to com.example.controller.FormController#showForm()

09:22:02.621 [http-nio-8080-exec-5] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - Completed 200 OK
But as soon as I try to display spring.jsp page in FrontController.java I run into 404 Error. Stacktrace below.
09:22:09.179 [http-nio-8080-exec-6] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - GET "/WebAppDemo/spring", parameters={}
09:22:09.187 [http-nio-8080-exec-6] WARN org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - No mapping for GET /WebAppDemo/spring
09:22:09.187 [http-nio-8080-exec-6] DEBUG org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet - Completed 404 NOT_FOUND
I don't know why is it not finding spring.jsp page when it's located in WEB-INF/views folder along with other JSP files. Will deeply appreciate some help on this. Thanks in Advance.
