Question

I am receiving the message “The requested resource () is not available.” when going to a url that I have mapped using DispatcherServlet. It previously worked when I had the mapping setup to use a .do extension, but when I map without an extension it doesn’t work.

Controller:

@Controller
public class WodServiceController {

    @Autowired
    private WodService wodService;

    @RequestMapping("/json/wod")
    @ResponseBody
    public Word getWord(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
        return wodService.getWordOfTheDay();
    }
}

dispatcher-servlet.xml:

</listener>

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

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

</web-app>

If I have the mapping set to *.do and the RequestMapping set to wod.do it works fine.

EDIT:

In the logs, when I go to that URL it shows the message

No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/foobar/json/wod] in DispatcherServlet with name ‘dispatcher’

EDIT 2: I added the alwaysUseFullPath to the handler:

<bean id="annotationHandlerMapping"
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
    <property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true" />  
</bean>

Answer 1

This was due to the way my apache redirect was setup.
