Error info: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/TestSpringWebApp/hello.htm]

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using annotation to map request to controller.
controller code :

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/hello.htm")
public class HelloController  {    
    protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());

    public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)    
            throws ServletException, IOException {
        String now = (new Date()).toString();

        logger.info("Returning hello view with " + now);

        return new ModelAndView("hello", "now", now);    
    }    
}

Dispatcher-servlet.xml as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans ...>

    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping"/>

    <!--
    Most controllers will use the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping above, but
    for the index controller we are using ParameterizableViewController, so we must
    define an explicit mapping for it.
    -->

Answer 1

You have to add @RequestMapping to the method, not to the class. If you add it to the class it will be applied as a prefix to all the methods mapping of this class, but you also have to map the methods of the class.
