I have already learned how to configure Spring MVC app with XML so I decided to go ahead.
I read documentation about WebApplicationInitializer and minimizing of XML in application configuration. But when I completed all preparations of the sample application I encountered with 404 page.
Further I put snippets of my code, please give me advices how to make @-based approach properly.
Config file:
package com.onet.init;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver;
@Configuration
@ComponentScan("com.onet")
@EnableWebMvc
public class BaseConfig {
@Bean
public UrlBasedViewResolver setupViewResolver() {
UrlBasedViewResolver resolver = new UrlBasedViewResolver();
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return resolver;
}
}
Initializer:
import javax.servlet.ServletContext;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.ServletRegistration.Dynamic;
import org.springframework.web.WebApplicationInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.support.AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet;
public class Initializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
@Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
ctx.register(BaseConfig.class);
Dynamic servlet = servletContext.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(ctx));
servlet.addMapping("*.html");
servlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
}
}

Controller:
package com.onet.controller;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class HelloController {
@RequestMapping(value="/hello")
public ModelAndView goToHelloWorld() {
return new ModelAndView("hello-world");
}
}
index.jsp
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Home page</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Home page</h1>
<p>This is a home page.</p>
<p><a href="hello.html">Say Hello</a></p>
</body>
</html>
So when I click on "Say Hello" link I get 404. Entire project you can download from my drop-box.
