ContentNegotiatingViewResolver with text/html results in PageNotFound exception

[pgrimard]

I'll try to be brief.

My web.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5"
	xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

	</servlet-mapping>
	
	<welcome-file-list>
		<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
	</welcome-file-list>
	
</web-app>

I have a ContentNegotiatingViewResolver and an InternalResourceViewResolver setup like this:

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
		<property name="ignoreAcceptHeader" value="true" />
		<property name="favorPathExtension" value="true" />
    	<property name="mediaTypes">
    		<map>
    			<entry key="html" value="text/html" />
    			<entry key="json" value="application/json" />
    		</map>
    	</property>
    	<property name="defaultViews">
    		<list>
    			<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView" />
    		</list>
    	</property>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="jspViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" p:contentType="text/html">
    	<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
    	<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
    	<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </bean>

My controller looks like this:

@Controller
public class EventController {

	@Autowired
	private EventService eventService;
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/events/save", method = RequestMethod.POST)
	public ModelAndView saveEvent ( @ModelAttribute("event") Event event, BindingResult result ) {
		ControllerUtil.logBindingErrors ( result );
        
        eventService.addEvent ( event );
        
        return new ModelAndView ( "redirect:/events.html" );
    }
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/events", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public ModelAndView getEvents() {
		Map<String, Object> model = new HashMap<String, Object>();
		model.put ( "events", eventService.getAllEvents() );
		
		return new ModelAndView ( "eventsView", model );
	}
	
	@RequestMapping(value = "/events/add", method = RequestMethod.GET)
	public ModelAndView addEvent ( @ModelAttribute("event") Event event, BindingResult result) {
		return new ModelAndView ( "eventAdd" );
	}
	
}

My context root is hibernate1, so if I browse to http://localhost:8080/hibernate1/events.json, it works fine. Chrome tries to just download as a file, but in the end this will get called in an ajax request. The json file that Chrome downloaded looks fine, the data is turned into a json object without a problem. The problem I'm having is if I browse to http://localhost:8080/hibernate1/events.html, I get an org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound exception with message "noHandlerFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/hibernate1/WEB-INF/jsp/eventsView.jsp] in DispatcherServlet with name 'test'"

Your help is appreciated.
Thanks.

have you tried setting the defaultcontentype to be text/html

 <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver" p:order="0">
        <property name="mediaTypes">
            <map>
                <entry key="atom" value="application/atom+xml"/>
                <entry key="xml" value="application/xml"/>
                <entry key="json" value="application/json"/>
                <entry key="html" value="text/html"/>
            </map>
        </property>
        
        <property name="defaultContentType" value="text/html"/>

        
        <property name="ignoreAcceptHeader" value="true"/>
        <property name="favorPathExtension" value="true"/>

        <property name="viewResolvers">
			<list>
				<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
					<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
					<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
				</bean>

			</list>
		</property>


        <property name="defaultViews">
            <list>
                <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.xml.MarshallingView">
                    <property name="marshaller">
                        <bean class="org.springframework.oxm.xstream.XStreamMarshaller" p:autodetectAnnotations="true"/>
                    </property>
                </bean>
                <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView"/>

            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

Looks like this is inspected if the ignoreAcceptHeader is set to true. Works for me :-)

Just tried that and I still get this exception:

WARN 2010-01-14 09:56:36 [org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound]
{noHandlerFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/hibernate1/WEB-INF/jsp/eventsView.jsp] in DispatcherServlet with name 'test'}

[pgrimard]

I also know that the request is being mapped to my controller properly because the log output also spits out the following from Hibernate, which means my service bean is being called:

Hibernate: select this_.EID as EID4_0_, this_.EDATE as EDATE4_0_, this_.ETITLE as ETITLE4_0_ from PATRICK.EVENTS this_

Did you resolve this issue?

What is the association between web.xml and dispatch servlet configurations?


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

*AND*

<property name="mediaTypes">
