Trying to configure spring 3 MVC, here is what I did so far:
I added all the spring 3.0 libraries to my netbeans project.
My web.xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">
<servlet>
<servlet-name>WebApplication1</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>WebApplication1</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
Next I created a WebAppliation1-servlet.xml, also in my /web-inf folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
- DispatcherServlet application context for PetClinic's web tier.
-->
<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" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:oxm="http://www.springframework.org/schema/oxm"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd

<!--
- The controllers are autodetected POJOs labeled with the @Controller annotation.
-->
<context:component-scan base-package="org.springframework.Hi"/>
<!--
- The form-based controllers within this application provide @RequestMapping
- annotations at the type level for path mapping URLs and @RequestMapping
- at the method level for request type mappings (e.g., GET and POST).
- In contrast, ClinicController - which is not form-based - provides
- @RequestMapping only at the method level for path mapping URLs.
-
- DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping is driven by these annotations and is
- enabled by default with Java 5+.
-->
<!--
- This bean resolves specific types of exceptions to corresponding logical
- view names for error views. The default behaviour of DispatcherServlet
- is to propagate all exceptions to the servlet container: this will happen
- here with all other types of exceptions.
-->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleMappingExceptionResolver">
<property name="exceptionMappings">
<props>
<prop key="org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound">pageNotFound</prop>
<prop key="org.springframework.dao.DataAccessException">dataAccessFailure</prop>
<prop key="org.springframework.transaction.TransactionException">dataAccessFailure</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<!--
- The BeanNameViewResolver is used to pick up the visits view name (below).
- It has the order property set to 2, which means that this will
- be the first view resolver to be used after the delegating content
- negotiating view resolver.
-->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.BeanNameViewResolver" p:order="1"/>
<!--
- This bean configures the 'prefix' and 'suffix' properties of
- InternalResourceViewResolver, which resolves logical view names
- returned by Controllers. For example, a logical view name of "vets"
- will be mapped to "/WEB-INF/jsp/vets.jsp".
-->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
p:suffix=".jsp" p:order="2"/>
</beans>
I then created a simple welcome.jsp in the folder /WEB-INF/jsp/welcome.jsp
I then created a package:
org.springframework.Hi
And I created a TestController.java file:
package org.springframework.Hi;
/*
* To change this template, choose Tools | Templates
* and open the template in the editor.
*/
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class TestController {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String welcomeHandler(){
return "welcome";
}
}
I wanted this to work w/o any file extensions, so I don't have to end my urls with xxx.htm etc.
So when I run the netbeans project I get the error:
type Status report message Servlet WebApplication1 is not available description The requested resource (Servlet WebApplication1 is notavailable) is not available.
What exactly am I missing here?
Tomcat logs
Thanks for the feedback
My tomcat logs show this:
