No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/WEB-I

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Why does Spring MVC respond with a 404 and report “No mapping found for HTTP request with URI […] in DispatcherServlet”? 4 answers

My handler forwards to internalresourceview 'apiForm' but then i get error 404 RequestURI=/WEB-INF/pages/apiForm.jsp. I'm sure apiForm.jsp located in /WEB-INF/pages/

13:45:02,034 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView] - Forwarding to resource [/WEB-INF/pages/apiForm.jsp] in InternalResourceView 'apiForm'
13:45:02,035 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - DispatcherServlet with name 'testapp2' determining Last-Modified value for [/WEB-INF/pages/apiForm.jsp]
13:45:02,038 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - No handler found in getLastModified
13:45:02,038 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - DispatcherServlet with name 'testapp2' processing request for [/WEB-INF/pages/apiForm.jsp]
13:45:02,038 WARN [org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound] - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/WEB-INF/pages/apiForm.jsp] in DispatcherServlet with name 'testapp2'
13:45:02,045 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - Successfully completed request
13:45:02,048 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - Successfully completed request

this is how my dispatcher.xml look like..

<bean id="viewResolver"
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/pages/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>

I had the same problem, Of course there was a little difference. The story was that when I was removing the below line:

<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="classpath:/resources/" />

Everything was OK but in presence of that line the same error raise.

After some trial and error I found I have to add the below line to my spring application context file:

<mvc:annotation-driven />

Hope it helps!

I think I read the entire internet to figure out how to get sitemesh to handle my html paths without extension + API paths without extension. I was wrapped up in a straight jacket figuring this out, every turn seemed to break something else. Then I finally came upon this post.

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/WEB-INF/views/*</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/WEB-INF/decorators/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Enter this in your dispatcher-servlet.xml

<mvc:default-servlet-handler/>

I have encountered this problem in Eclipse Luna EE. My solution was simply restart eclipse and it magically started loading servlet properly.

Answer 4

change the your servlet name dispatcher to any other name .because dispatcher is predefined name for spring3,spring4 versions.

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>ahok</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>ashok</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

This could also happen when you're app doesn't actually compile, yet it's still launched in Tomcat. When I saw this happen, it wasn't compiling because the project had a "project specific" JDK specified, and the code was checked out on a machine that didn't have that specific JDK. Eclipse defaulted to a JRE instead, not a JDK, and then the app wasn't compiled.

To fix it in our specific case, we just turned off "Project Specific Settings" here:

"Project | Properties | Java Compiler"

Looks like DispatcherServlet is trying to process the request for apiForm.jsp, which suggests to me that your web.xml servlet-mapping is directing requests for that space to DispatcherServlet.

You might have something like this?

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet>dispatcher</servlet>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Try calling your controllers with a different extension (.do for example) and update the servlet-mapping to suit

 <servlet-mapping>
  <servlet>dispatcher</servlet>
  <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
