SimpleUrlHandlerMapping is not Working

[abhi jitnag]

I have used org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping

In dispatcher-servlet.xml

<?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:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">


<!-- ************************************ SimpleUrlHandlerMapping **************************************** -->
<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping"/>


<!-- ************************************ CONTROLLER MAPPINGS **************************************** -->
<bean name="LoadEmployeeDetails" class="com.app.controller.LoadEmployeeDetailsController">
<property name="employeeService" ref="employeeService"></property>
<property name="applicationContextTest" ref="applicationContextTest"></property>
</bean>


In jsp page

<%
response.sendRedirect("LoadEmployeeDetails");
%>


In Web.xml

<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

This is not working.
First time I am using this. Could anyone help me please.

You can include following tag in your urlMapping tag :
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="/load.html">LoadEmployeeDetails</prop>
</props>
</property>


And make id="LoadEmployeeDetails" instead of name="LoadEmployeeDetails"

And in your jsp make redirect path to 'load.html'

I hope it should work .

You need to tell us the details. what does not work. How you ran this application?. What you get when you run this application?. Any exception or error?
Regarding the topic, you are telling your server to redirect all *.html requests to spring dispatcher servlet and redirecting to LoadEmployeeDetails. First, this request would not be handled by spring, you need to redirect to some .html, then in dispatcher-servlet.xml you can use what gireesh has suggested..

If you have error/exceptions after trying these, please post them here, we will try our best to help you..
