How do a RequestMapping in Spring 3.0 for /{id} and /form

[Daniel Näslund]

Problem solved. The mappings worked again after I changed some links that didn't use the contextpath correctly. I must have misread the stack trace.


I'm trying to create a simple CRUD-application using Spring 3.0 and it's new RESTful features. But these two mappings conflict:

  
@RequestMapping(value = "account/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String show(@PathVariable("id") Long id, ModelMap modelMap) {
  Assert.notNull(id, "Identifier must be provided.");
  modelMap.addAttribute("account", accountService.find(id));
  modelMap.addAttribute("investment", new Investment());
  modelMap.addAttribute("products", productService.findAll());
  return "account/show";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "account/form", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String form(ModelMap modelMap) {
  modelMap.addAttribute("people", personService.findAll());
  modelMap.addAttribute("account", new Account());
  return "account/create";
}

If I do a call like this...

	<a href="<c:url value="/account/form" />">Create</a>

I end up with this:

org.springframework.beans.TypeMismatchException: 
Failed to convert value of type [java.lang.String] to required type [java.lang.Long]; 
nested exception is java.lang.NumberFormatException: 
For input string: "form" at
...

Any suggestions? I've tried changing the order of the methods but that does not help. What is the priority ordering of the @ReqestMapping values? I've tried searching but the docs for 3.0 are sparse so far.
