Spring MVC 3 + Spring-WS 2 + Spring Security 3 + Tiles

[npintos]

Hello,

I'm trying to wire everything to have a web application that can handle Spring MVC and Spring-WS web services, all wrapped under Spring Security and with Tiles as the view technology.

I've followed this excellent tutorial:

http://krams915.blogspot.com/2010/12...ing-3-mvc.html

tried the example code, etc, and it works.

but when I try to do the same on my project, it is not working. Calls to web services seems to get handled by DispatcherServlet:

Error:

 WARN [org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound] - <N
o mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/myapp/ws/authentication.wsdl] in DispatcherServlet with name 'myapp'>

I Know that the xsd is correct and endpoint classes work correctly, because putting them in that tutorial's code acts fine, and I can test them with soapUI.

I thinks this may be some kind of mapping problem.

Below you'll find all my config files, important bits in bold; I put everything for the sake of completeness, this is a very tough technology puzzle

for the brave soul that checks these files, if you find some file missing i can post more info.

Forgot to mention:

Before adding the Spring-WS parts, my web app was working correctly (controllers, tiles views, etc).

Now it wont recognize any url:

WARN [org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound] - <N
o mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/myapp/WEB-INF/jsp/layout.jsp] in
DispatcherServlet with name 'myapp'>

layout.jsp is the base layout for all tiles.

[vithun]

Where did the name fitrehab for the DispatcherServlet come from in the above post?

[npintos]

oops, sorry, it should have said 'myapp' instead of that.

About my second post, I managed to solve it. None of my views were resolving because instead of:

<servlet-mapping> 
        <servlet-name>myapp</servlet-name> 
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>        
</servlet-mapping>

Should be:

<servlet-mapping> 
        <servlet-name>myapp</servlet-name> 
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>        
</servlet-mapping>

(without the asterisk).

Now my MVC app works again. But the main problem is that the web services part is still not resolving, and handed to the DispatcherServlet despite the SimpleUrlHandlerMapping in mvc-ws-integration.xml (see files above)

Any hint, no matter how tiny?

Cheers,

Nacho

I'm a bit new to Spring myself, so I'm not sure if this is helpful. Is there a chance that it might be mandatory that the file should be named applicationContext.xml and not applicationContext-jpa.xml. Because the tutorial link you provided says: "By convention, we must declare an applicationContext.xml as well."

[npintos]

Hi vithun,

I don't think that's the problem. If you use the standard name (applicationContext.xml), you don't have to declare it on web.xml. If you use a custom name (like me), you specify it in the web.xml file.

The MVC part of my app works prefect (i can navigate, load forms, save data in the database...), is just the integration with Spring Web Services that is troubling now, I can't see the WSDL published and the EndPoint is not called.

Anyway, thanks for your reply!

Nacho

In mvc-ws-integration.xml, try changing it to /myapp/ws=messageDispatcher and /myapp/ws/authentication.wsdl=authentication

[npintos]

I already did, but no luck.

It feels like the SimpleUrlHandlerMapping is never used. I guess it mkay have something to do with the url mapping in web.xml...

Also, I forgot to mention: Spring Security is active, and it requires https for every request.
I configured https on Tomcat on port 8443.
http://localhost:8443/myapp/ws/authentication.wsdl is not working
http://localhost:8080/myapp/ws/authentication.wsdl is also not working

I'm sure it has to be something really evident/easy/stupid mistake thingy...

[vithun]

What are the URLs that are working? Could you give a URL from the MVC part that is working fine.

[vithun]

Ok. Even I'm trying to think silly mistakes. Can it be because you missed an 's' in the link: https://localhost:8443/myapp/ws/authentication.wsdl and its not an https request.
