Well I sat down today, and basically spent... THE ENTIRE DAY working from scratch on a new Spring 2.5 MVC app trying to replicate my requirements and making them work one by one..
Here I will place my configs and Controller setup so that people can do the same thing, but there is still ONE LAST THING... Just one small detail...
1 Problem left to solve:
The only way I could get pretty urls (domain.com/controller/action/blah/blah)
was too add a prefix in the servlet-mapping -> url-patter node inside of web.xml.
For instance, this is what I have for my web.xml...
Code:
<?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" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/app/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<session-config>
<session-timeout>
30
</session-timeout>
</session-config>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>redirect.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
As you can see, I have placed "/app/*" as the url-pattern. Now don't get to exited yet... Many of you are already thinking just remove the /app prefix and use /* and poof... NO SUCH LUCK my friends.. This is not struts2 nor Wicket... lol...
Now that you're all aware of the last and final piece of the puzzle let me present the configs and controller setup I am using...
applicationContext.xml
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

dispatcher-servlet.xml
Code:

<bean id="viewResolver"

</beans>
and the Web.xml you can view above
Here is what I am using for a controller in package "com.test.controllers"
com.test.controllers
-> TestController.java
Code:
package com.test.controllers;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
/**
*
* @author jholmes
*/
@Controller
public class TestController {
@RequestMapping("/test/index")
public ModelAndView index(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
return new ModelAndView("test", "model", "Model Here and I aint going away!");
}
@RequestMapping("/test/profile")
public ModelAndView profile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
mav.addObject("message", "You Don't even know... BLAH BLAH BLAH");
mav.setViewName("profile");
return mav;
}
@RequestMapping("/test/update")
public ModelAndView update(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView();
mav.addObject("message", "You Don't even know... BLAH BLAH BLAH");
mav.setViewName("update");
return mav;
}
}
I have attached a screen shot of my netbeans project.. any other help?
