Spring mvc: Controller method is not invoked

I am using Spring MVC and I have a following method in the controller:

@RequestMapping(value = {"/web", "/web/"})
public void redirectToIndexUi(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    try {
        //some condition
        response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + "/ui/index.html");

    } catch (IOException ex) {
        LOGGER.error("IOException is thrown while trying to redirect to index.html page.", ex);
    }
}

When a user enters the following url http://localhost:8080/myapp/web/ redirectToIndexUi method is called, but in this case http://localhost:8080/myapp/web/index.html the redirectToIndexUi method is not called. What could be the reason ?

The reason your controller not invoked is your mapping. You are mapping your controller method to URI '/web' and not '/web/index.html'.

And you can use wildcard characters like '/web/**' to point every request with /web/ in it to use your controller's method. So that your method will be called whenever your request hits anything similar to http://localhost:8080/myapp/web/**.
