Hello there.
Is it possible to use a MultiActionController, configured with the default InternalPathMethodNameResolver, and mapped with BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping ?

I've tried to do this but so far I'm not successful. Unless this is not possible( I'd be surprised), there must be something I'm doing wrong. Here is how I tried.

My DispatcherServlet is mapped like this :
Code:
<servlet> 
    <servlet-name>core</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
	<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </init-param> 
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>core</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Note that the servlet is mapped on "/". This is because when at first I did map it on "/*", but this way there were problems resolving views. I think that is because the default InternalResourceViewResolver uses the request dispatcher, that in turn did map our jsp servlet to the dispatcher, wich tried to map our jsp name to a controller... So Mapping all our requests to "/" did solve that problem ...

My controller is configured like this :
Code:
<bean name="/book/search" class="com.sample.x.samples.bookbay.search.SearchController"/>
No specific handler mapping are defined, so the default BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping is used. My controller looks like this :
Code:
public class SearchController extends MultiActionController {
	
    public ModelAndView getForm(HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response) {
        ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("/book/searchForm.jsp");
        return mav;
    }

    public ModelAndView performSearch(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("/book/searchForm.jsp");
        handleFormSubmission(request, mav);
	return mav;
    }

 ...
According to what I read in the documentation, I tough that calling my url like this :
http://myHost/myApp/book/search/getForm
would make the getForm method of my controller called. But instead, the dispatcher servlet tells me that no Controller called "/book/search/getForm" have been found.

My understanding was that since the BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping was used, that my controller would match "/book/search", and that since the InternalPathMethodNameResolver is used, we had to add "/methodname" to the url.

Can the BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping be used with a MultiActionController configured with a InternalPathMethodNameResolver ?

If so, can someone point me on what I did wrong ? Is the problem du only to my weird servlet mapping ?
