InternalResourceViewResolver forwards to WEB-INF

[cynicLT]

Hi all,

I'm facing following problem - InternalResourceViewResolver forwards to WEB-INF.
There is following configuration of dispatcher-servlet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

</beans>

As I understand - SimpleMappingExceptionResolver should cache exceptions that are mapped to specific view and forward to them. InternalResourceViewResolver should forward there viewes to the internal - in my case it would be with prefix /WEB-INF/view/ and suffix .jsp but somehow it tries to forward me to these views directly:

I'm facing this problem with Spring 3.0.5 release. It seems that problem with configuration but I cant understand where...

Thanks in advice,

Kiril

Change <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> to <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> in your web.xml.

If you want to know the reasons take a look at this question on StackOverflow, especially this particular answer.

That easily solved my problem
