making a Spring MVC website

[malgo douginos]

Hi,

I must make a java MVC spring based forum, since I only know the basis (some JSP, HTML, JAVA J2EE) I need some help figuring out an existing one.

first, does each page require a model and controller? because I got a pre-made spring-MVC from my school to look at but :



index.html has no controller or model
ajoutVoituresForm.jsp only has a controller
ParcVoiruresForm.jsp only has a controller

moreover, in web.xml the display name is SpringWebMVC but I can only acces the website from
http://localhost:8080/MVCTest/index.html
shouldn't it be
http://localhost:8080/SpringWebMVC/index.html

many thanks =D

ps : here is the source code of everything if you want to look at it : http://sliders.alpha.free.fr/MVC/SpringWebMVCFormulaires.rar

index.html is probably the default page defined outside of Spring MVC. The model is provided by Spring. You add attributes to it, for example it appears the JSP you have open is expecting a "titre" attribute to be set on the model.

Read this if you haven't already.
