Spring controller mapping

[Nick Potter]

Hello,

I've got this servlets.xml:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN 2.0//EN"  
        "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans-2.0.dtd">

<beans>

	<bean id="simpleUrlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
		<property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true" />
		<property name="mappings">
			<props>
				<prop key="services/repository/marketSegmentModification.jsp">MarketSegmentModificationController</prop>
			</props>
		</property>
	</bean>

	

	<bean id="MarketSegmentModificationController" class="servlets.repository.MarketSegmentModificationController">
		<property name="methodNameResolver">
			<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.multiaction.ParameterMethodNameResolver">
				<property name="defaultMethodName">					
					<value>loadPage</value>
				</property>
				<property name="paramName">
					<value>method</value>
				</property>
			</bean>
		</property>
	</bean>
</beans>  

And these lines of code in web.xml:

 
  <context-param>
	<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
	<param-value>WEB-INF/servlets.xml</param-value>
  </context-param>
 <listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
	</listener> 
 

Clicking on the link that should take me to that page (services/repository/marketSegmentModification.jsp) i get a 404 error. I should mention that the link is clicked from an applet which contains the following code:

  new CCMenuItem(this.userPrivileges,"1/3/320",
					"MarketSegmentModification",
					customerSegmentation,
					pageUrl
							+ "services/repository/marketSegmentModification.jsp","mainFrame", this
							.getAppletContext());  

If i put a jsp in the exact location, everything is ok.

So...what am i doing wrong?

Thanks

OK - I'm assuming that MarketSegmentModificationController extends MultiActionController because it's using methodNameResolver - so you're using Spring MVC as the view layer, right? But I don't see a DispatcherServlet set up in web.xml - even if you have application contexts loaded through ContextLoaderListener, you still need to set up a DispatcherServlet to act as a front controller for Spring MVC.

Yes, true, forgot about that.

But i still get an error... it says that no mapping for that controller is found in DispatcherServlet.

[Nathan Pruett]

Can you post the error you received? It may be that you didn't create a "<dispatcherServletName>-servlet.xml" file - you still need to create one (or use the contextConfigLocation init-param to point to another).

[Nick Potter]

Nevermind. It was problem with the actual mapping of the controller. Thanks for the input.
