web.xml url-mapping = *.jsp not working

[stlum9495]

Hi,

Wondering if someone could advise...I'm new to Spring, and was wondering about a url-mapping of *.jsp

I can't get this to work :cry:

I'm using Spring 1.1 and Tomcat 5.0.28

My web.xml has
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mainapp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

My mainapp-servlet.xml file has
<bean id="mainappController" class="web.MainappController"/>

<bean id="urlMapping" ...
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="/stocks.jsp">mainappController</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="viewResolver"
<property name="prefix">
<value>/WEB-INF/jsp/</value>
</property>
<property name="suffix"><value>.jsp</value></property>
</bean>

and class web.MainappController
public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest arg0,
HttpServletResponse arg1) throws Exception {
return new ModelAndView("stocks");
}

Thanks

I think your problem is that you are using the .jsp suffix both for your servlet mapping and for your views.
So when your controller returns 'stocks' as a view, your view resolver resolves this to /WEB-INF/jsp/stocks.jsp, which in turn gets mapped back to your servlet.

I think you need to change your servlet mapping to use a different suffix.
