The requested resource is not available when wanna

Question

I'm using Spring mvc, and wanna make web app which send some json data to client and client should visualized them using js.

I have some questions:

1-My project have some *.html beside *.jsp file how can I handle both without web.xml. the code that i had written work fine with *.jsp but give "The requested resource is not available." error for mapping html files.

2-As i said My service have to send a list of object in json form to client, when i want to parse the json string on server in *.jsp file with the code like

MyClass data = new Gson().fromJson(MyList.get(0).toString(), listType)

,I face with to many problems, so i decide to do this job in client Side in *.html file, i want to know how should i handle this parsing job when i don't want that client know about the the structure my class? OR plz tell if have to share my class with client, how should i send stucture of it to html file?

3-How should i access to data that i created in restapi.jsp on the UserSideApp.html file?

these are some my files:

AppInitializer.java

public class AppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

public void onStartup(ServletContext container) throws ServletException {

    AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
    ctx.register(AppConfig.class);
    ctx.setServletContext(container);

    ServletRegistration.Dynamic servlet = container.addServlet(
            "dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(ctx));

    servlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
    servlet.addMapping("/");
} }

AppConfig.java

public class AppConfig {

@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
    InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
    viewResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
    viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
    viewResolver.setSuffix("");

    return viewResolver;
} }

the part of my AppContoller.java

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class AppController {

@Autowired
HackDataService service;

@RequestMapping(value = "/restapi", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String jsonAPI(ModelMap model) {
    List<HackData> newList = service.findAllNewData();
    ObjectWriter ow = new ObjectMapper().writer().withDefaultPrettyPrinter();
    String json="";
    try {
        json = ow.writeValueAsString(newList);
    } catch (JsonProcessingException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    model.addAttribute("List", json);
    String newjson = new Gson().toJson(newList);
    model.addAttribute("newList", newjson);
    return "newTest.jsp";
}

@RequestMapping(value = "/app", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String htmlapp() {
    return "UserSideApp.html";
}  }

and my both .html and .jsp files are in "/WEB-INF/views/"

Answer 1

After spending almost a day on first problem, i find the answer of it, first of all instead of implementing WebApplicationInitializer, I extend AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer and for java Configing i extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter.

Then i create a pages folder in WEB-INF and my codes changes to these:

AppInitializer became like other internet's samples.

AppConfig.java

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.attackmap" })
public class AppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
    registry.addResourceHandler("/pages/**").addResourceLocations("/WEB-INF/pages/");


@Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {

    InternalResourceViewResolver viewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
    viewResolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
    viewResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
    viewResolver.setSuffix("");
    return viewResolver;
}
}

AppController.java

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/")
public class AppController {

@RequestMapping(value = { "/", "/info" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String welcome(ModelMap model) {
    model.addAttribute("message", "home page with info about site");
    return "homepage.jsp";
}
@RequestMapping(value = "/finalapp", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String test() {
    return "redirect:/pages/final.htm";
} }

there was another way

Creating a "resources" directory in "src/main/webapp"

add bellow cod in AppConfig.java

registry.addResourceHandler("/WEB-INF/views/resources/*.html").addResourceLocations("/resources/");

and for viewResolving use the code like bellow:

@RequestMapping(value = "/newapp", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String test2() {
    return "/resources/UserSideAppNew.html";
}

but still my two other questions are unsolved, the main problem was first one but if you know sth, about these two plz tell me about them
