404 Returnred for index.htm in Spring MVC

Question

I am getting 404 for index.htm. As you can see that index.htm is registered in the server.

Server log

[0m[0m10:00:57,643 INFO  [org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping] (ServerService Thread Pool -- 201) Mapped URL path [/index.htm] onto handler 'indexController'

Controller

@Controller
public class IndexController {
    @RequestMapping(value={"/index.htm","/"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView initGET(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        ...
    }

    @RequestMapping(value={"/index.htm","/"}, method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView loadEntity(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {

    <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:ad.properties"
        ignore-unresolvable="true" />

Is there any configuration problem? How can I fix 404 for index.htm

Answer 1

To solve this answer you need to change your / to /*.htm i think this is the problem.

Answer 2

Thanks all. I have figured it out. It was multiple viewresolver issue. I have no index.jsp file but another jsp servces /config/index.jsp and I have added in spring-view.xml. As per mkyong, this order should be preserved.

<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.XmlViewResolver">
    <property name="location">
        <value>/WEB-INF/springapp-view.xml</value>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
    p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/" p:suffix=".jsp" />

spring-view.xml

<bean id="index" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView">
    <property name="url" value="/config/index.jsp" />
</bean>

Answer 3

To solve those 404 problems, you need to understand how Spring finds and loads your JSPs.

In a short description... When you call, in this case, /index.htm, DispatchServlet will look for a method that has /index.htm mapping and call that method. The method will return something. In this case, you are supposed to return a ModelAndView. something like:

modelAndView.setViewName("myPage");
return modelAndView;

Then Spring comes to list of ViewResolvers and by the order, it will check where it can find "myPage".

Again, in your case, as you only have one, it will look for /WEB_INF/jsp/myPage.jsp (p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/" p:suffix=".jsp").

Your problem seems to be that Spring can't find your page (which I don't know as you didn't post your initGET method body.

Make sure that, whatever you are setting/returning there can be found /WEB_INF/jsp/ and ends with .jsp
