Hey there,
actually I thought I was trying something really simple. ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping sounded great to produce a small
spring webapp using a very lean configuration. Just annotate the Controller with @Controller, have it extend AbstractController and the configuration shouldn't need more than this
<context:component-scan base-package="test.mypackage.controller" />
<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping" />
to resolve my requests and map them to my controllers. I've mapped the servlet to "*.
spring", and calling
<approot>/hello.
spring
All I ever get is an error stating that no mapping was found. If however I extend the MultiActionController, and do something like
<approot>/hello/hello.
spring
it works. Which somehow irritates me, as I would have thought that if that is working, why didn't my first try? Does anyone have any idea? The two controllers I used looked like this
@Controller
public class HelloController extends AbstractController {
@Override
protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("hello");
modelAndView.addObject("message", "Hello World!");
return modelAndView;
}
}
and
@Controller
public class HelloController extends MultiActionController {
public ModelAndView hello(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView("hello");
modelAndView.addObject("message", "Hello World!");
return modelAndView;
}
}
