<jsp:include /> works after GET but not after POST

[oxcar]

Hi,

I'm using Spring MVC, JSP for a webapp

I have a Controller with this method:

...

@RequestMapping( value = "/dashboard/test" )
public String test( ModelMap model ) {
	return "dashboard/dashboard";
}

...

The return "dashboard/dashboard" goes to a JSP:

...

<div id="header">
<%@ include file="../includes/logo.jsp" %>

<jsp:include page="/top-menu" flush="true" />

<%@ include file="../includes/user.jsp" %>	
</div>

...

Everything works like a charm except the <jsp:include>

If I make a GET request to /dashboard/test the <jsp:include> works nice and makes a call to the URL /top-menu. If I make a POST request to the same /dashboard/test then everything is ok but <jsp:include> does not execute.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong ?

Thank you for your time.

Hello

Time ago I dont use <jsp:include, I suggest you two things

1) Use Tiles (series 2 )
2) Perhaps the flush attribute are making some difference?

If I make a POST request to the same /dashboard/test

How are you doing the call with POST?

If your method in your controller should only handle GET methods

@RequestMapping( value = "/dashboard/test" )
public String test( ModelMap model ) {
	return "dashboard/dashboard";
}

Hi,

In Spring MVC if you dont specify POST, GET, etc ... it accepts request for any of them.

@RequestMapping( value = "", method = RequestMethod.GET )

accepts only GET

@RequestMapping( value = "", method = RequestMethod.POST )

accepts only POST

@RequestMapping( value = "" )

accepts any

If I make a GET or POST the method is executed ... and goes to the JSP ... but ... jsp:include does not work if I call the controller with a POST request

And I'm not using Tiles because is a little bit overkill for my needs. But if I dont find a solution for my problem, maybe I'll try that path ...

I can't confirm explicitly this through the documentation

but ... jsp:include does not work if I call the controller with a POST request

Show me how you are making the explicit call for each approach (get/post)

I have two questions, when with the Post approach does not work, it show empty or white such section?, even if yes, check the log files of your container, sometimes happen this, the page is white but the real error are show in the console or in the log file of the container

Have you tried with

<jsp:include page="/top-menu" flush="false" />

???

Let me know your advance

I tell you it's this way ...

I don't see any error on my container's log ... and yes ... there is a blank space where the jsp:include tag is placed ...

Have you tried with

<jsp:include page="/top-menu" flush="false" />

It makes no difference, it only flushes the response of that include ...

Thank you very much for your time ... I'll continue trying ...

I found it !!

My problem was in the Spring Controller that was executed the jsp:include

It only accepted GET requests, so I changed the controller to accept POST requests too ... so jsp:include calls the controller and it executes for GET and POST requests ...

Hello

It only accepted GET requests, so I changed the controller to accept POST requests too

I guess using method = RequestMethod.POST, right?

If yes, I told you, you must use explicitly the RequestMethod, otherwise is used by default the GET approach

Anyway it work, FYI, use tiles, is better!

Best Regards

I just used

@RequestMapping( value = "" )

instead of

@RequestMapping( value = "", method = RequestMethod.GET )

so now it accepts GET and POST
