Question

I´m new in spring-mvc. So, i´m trying to use RESTFull urls ( i think that’s the correct name)
For example, i want use a url like this: http://localhost:8080/sommer/Users/edit/1
it means i want to edit the user with id 1
But with my configuration it´s not getting to the any controller. I’m just able to use urls ending with .html.

This is my configuration and code

controller

@Controller
@RequestMapping("Users")
public class SystemUserController {

    }
    @RequestMapping("/index")
    public ModelAndView index(){
        List<SystemUser> list = userRepository.findAll();

    return new ModelAndView("users/index","users",list);
    }

    @RequestMapping("/edit/{userId}")
    public ModelAndView edit(@PathVariable long userId){
        List<SystemUser> list = userRepository.findAll();

    return new ModelAndView("users/index","users",list);
    }
}

Any idea how to solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are registering the DispatcherServlet to HTML files only when you have:

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

If you want no extension whatsoever, you’ll have to use something along these lines:

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

(Of course, keep in mind, this will literally match everything)
