Question

I try run a basic Java EE Spring project on eclipse(jboss 7.1.1 server, Spring 3.1.2 released), but when it always print that the configuration file do not find but I Actually put the configuration file in right place. I do not configure the welcome-file, but mvc:view-controller instead.

this is the web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee /web-app_3_0.xsd">
<display-name>springupload</display-name>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/web-application-config.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Loads the Spring web application context -->
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value/>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Map all *.spring requests to the DispatcherServlet for handling -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

This is the web-application-config.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
   xsi:schemaLocation="

        <property name="maxUploadSize" value="1000000"></property>

</beans>

This is webmvc-config.xml

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

<mvc:resources mapping="/res/**" location="/, classpath:/META-INF/web-resources/" />
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="hello"/>
<mvc:default-servlet-handler />

    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="jspre">
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
    </bean>

     <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="htmlre">
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
        <property name="suffix" value=".html"/>
    </bean>

</beans>

The error you can see in the picture:

HTTP Status 404 – /springupload/WEB-INF/webmvc-config.xml

type Status report

message /springupload/WEB-INF/webmvc-config.xml

description The requested resource (/springupload/WEB-INF/webmvc-config.xml) is not available.
JBoss Web/7.0.13.Final

I really do not know why I configure the html and jsp page, while it should some configuration file as my start page?

Answer 1

Your configuration is not far from being OK.

One thing I notice is that the hello.html file is in your root WebContent folder. I suppose this is the view you want rendered when you access http://localhost:8080/springupload/ because of this line in the configuration:

<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="hello"/>

If this is so, then Spring is trying to resolve to /WEB-INF/hello.html because of the prefix and suffix on this viewResolver :

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="htmlre">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".html"/>
</bean>

However, you have two view resolvers with no order in them, and Spring is taking only the first one which resolves to /WEB-INF/hello.jsp, hence the 404 Not found

To wrap it up your solution is to move hello.html to /WEB-INF/ and to change your viewResolver configuration in webmvc-config.xml like so

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="jspre">
    <property name="order" value="2" />
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="htmlre">
    <property name="order" value="1" />
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".html"/>
</bean>

Last, you’re not supposed to access directly content in the http://localhost:8080/WEB-INF/* URL, so everything you try here will result in a 404 Not found.
