RequestMapping in spring with weird patterns

I have defined the controller method in spring like following

@RequestMapping(value = "/register", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView register(HttpSession session) {

and when i try to access the register page it is working fine.

localhost:8080/myapp/register

but the issue is it is giving me the same page with all these patterns

localhost:8080/myapp/register.htm
localhost:8080/myapp/register.abc
localhost:8080/myapp/register.pqrasdfdadf

i want to stop this behaviour. can anyone suggest ?

I think if you use @RequestMapping(value = "/register/", method = RequestMethod.GET) , you can easily solve your problem.

Another Solution:

Use regular expression.

@RequestMapping(value = "{varName:/register$}")

Here $ represents the end of the string.

Depending on how you do your Web MVC configuration, you have to set the RequestMappingHandlerMapping useSuffixPatternMatch property to false.

If you're doing your configuration through a WebMvcConfigurationSupport sub class, simply do

@Override
public RequestMappingHandlerMapping requestMappingHandlerMapping() {
    RequestMappingHandlerMapping mapping = super.requestMappingHandlerMapping();
    mapping.setUseSuffixPatternMatch(false);
    return mapping;
}

With XML configuration, you'll need to explicitly declare a RequestMappingHandlerMapping with id requestMappingHandlerMapping and set the corresponding <property>.

This property, which is true by default, determines

Whether to use suffix pattern match (".*") when matching patterns to requests. If enabled a method mapped to "/users" also matches to "/users.*".
