Need Spring 3.0 help with annotations/setup

[laura mccord]

I'm trying out the new Spring 3.0 but I'm having some trouble getting everything working together. I basically need help figuring out how to get the "view.jsp" to show up. When I restart tomcat I can see that the Autowired setter is working because I get the output "Sample Service has been set".

I have a project called "sampleAjax"

Here is my web.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5"
         xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee 
         http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_5.xsd" >
         
       <display-name>sampleAjax</display-name>
        
     <context-param>
                <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
                <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
     </context-param>     
    <listener>
                <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
        </listener>                
  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>sampleAjax</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>sampleAjax</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/sampleAjax/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

my applicationContext.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">
  
   <context:component-scan base-package="my.company.directory.web" />
  
  <bean id="sampleService" class="my.company.directory.service.SampleServiceImpl"/>      
</beans> 

my sampleAjax-servlet.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
                http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd">

    <mvc:annotation-driven />  
    
    <mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="view"/>
   
    <bean id="viewController" class="my.company.directory.web.ViewController">
    	<property name="sampleService" ref="sampleService"/>
    </bean>    
    
    <!-- Resolves view names to protected .jsp resources within the /WEB-INF/views directory -->
        <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
                <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/"/>
                <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
        </bean>
</beans>

This is my VIewController

@Controller
public class ViewController{
	
	private ISampleService sampleService;
	private Map contents;
    
   @Autowired 
    public void setSampleService(ISampleService sampleService)
    {
        this.sampleService = sampleService;
        System.out.println("Sample Service has been set");
    }
    
    @RequestMapping
	public ModelAndView getResources(@RequestParam(value="path",required=false) String path, HttpServletRequest request ){
    	HttpSession session = request.getSession();
    	session.setAttribute("currentPath", path);
    	ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView("view");
    	mav.addObject("contents", sampleService.getContents(path));;
    	return mav;
    }    
}    

Any suggestions as to what I'm forgetting?

Thanks

What is the URL you are trying?

/sampleAjax/view/getResources

Based on assuming it is using the RequestMapping via Bean NameMapping Handler and using the convention of configuration. I use "view" as meaning ViewController and the getResources part being the method name.

I always get mixed up with the "/" in the front. Is that supposed to be there in the servlet mapping or should it be sampleAjax/*

I tend to go find samples and see if they had a "/" in front or not, and never memorized it.

Try those out and let us know if that helps.

I'm trying to access my application like this: http://mycompany.com/sampleAjax/ and it automatically goes to the viewController to access /sampleAjax/view.jsp

Do you know how to do that?

I had gotten it to somewhat work but I had to access the application using /sampleAjax/view.htm based on examples I had used. But then not all of my jsp functionality would work I'm assuming because it had a .htm extension. For example, my method getResources worked and my view jsp would execute but when I tried to access elements in my model hashmap it would actually display ${content.name} instead of the value of what is inside.

Here's a snippet of my view.jsp page:

<%@ page contentType="text/html" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="spring" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags" %>

<c:set var="currentPath" value="${currentPath}"/>

<img src="<c:url value='images'/>/Crystal_folder_green.png"/>
<h2 class="heading"><spring:message code="welcome.title" text="Home Directory" /></h2>

<link href="<c:url value='css'/>/main.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

   <c:forEach items = "${contents}" var="content">
            ${content.name}
        </c:forEach>
