Here is my app project structure:
myapp/
src/main/java/
com.me.myapp.controllers.HelloController
src/main/config/
mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml
web.xml
pages/
Hello.jsp
lib/
<JARs>
build.xml
My mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Here is the structure of the packaged WAR (after I bundle it up with Ant):
myapp.war
META-INF/
WEB-INF/
classes/
lib/
pages/
Hello.jsp
mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml
web.xml
When I deploy this to Tomcat and go to http://localhost:8080/myapp/hello.htm
I get a 404 Not Found error from Tomcat.
Edit: The objective is (obviously) to go to that URL and see my Hello.jsp
page.
Where am I going wrong?
Update: my HelloController
:
public class HelloController extends AbstractController {
@Override
protected ModelAndView handleRequestInternal(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("Hello");
model.addObject("msg", "This should be visible.");
return model;
}
}
In web.xml file you need to change * into *.htm
