Spring RequestMapping period

Question

In my Spring App, I have a controller annotated like so:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/1/site") 

If I try to change the request mapping value to this, I get a 404:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/1.0/site") 

What is happening with the period, and how do I fix it?

Answer 1

The dot has special meaning in URLs. I'd refrain from using it the way you intended. Use a dash or underscore instead. See SPR-5778 for details.
