I get the following error when trying to set up a Spring project with Velocity.
PageNotFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/SpringMVCVelocity/Enquiries/viewAllEnquiries] in DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher'
I have set up the spring context.xml as-

My controller is:
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/Enquiries")
@SessionAttributes({"enqList", "search"})
public class EnquiryController {
private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(EnquiryController.class);
private PagedListHolder<Enquiry> enqList = null;
private int pageSize = 10;
@Autowired
private EnquiryDao enquiryDao;
@RequestMapping("/viewAllEnquiries")
public String getAllEnquiries(@RequestParam(required=false) String page, Model model) {
if ("next".equals(page) && enqList != null) {
enqList.nextPage();
} else if ("previous".equals(page) && enqList != null) {
enqList.previousPage();
} else {
// well there is no page parameter, so it must be a new request
enqList = new PagedListHolder<Enquiry>(enquiryDao.getAllEnquiries());
enqList.setPageSize(pageSize);
}
model.addAttribute("search", new Search());
model.addAttribute("enqList", enqList);
return "viewAllEnquiries";
}
This controller is not even called. It does however successfully manage to resolve the welcome view with:
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="welcome"/>
Problem solved,
I wasn’t scanning the controller (context:component-scan) and had not wired the bean either in the Spring context.
So to fix it, I added it via spring injection:
