Question

I’m trying to do simple navigation between two pages, but an error appears and i can not solve it

firt page is my home.jsp here i make a link

<a href="/timecard/NewAccount"><FONT COLOR="#40C0FF">Create New Account</FONT></a>

then i make accounts folder i witch i have to files createAccount.jsp – this is my target page, and views.xml whit this source

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE tiles-definitions PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Tiles Configuration 2.1//EN" "http://tiles.apache.org/dtds/tiles-config_2_1.dtd">
<tiles-definitions>
<definition extends="default" name="createNew">
<put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/views/accounts/createAccount.jsp"/>
</definition>

</tiles-definitions>

And my AccountsController

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/timecard/newAccounts")
public class AccountsController {


@RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String accountForm(Model model){

    return "createNew";
}

}

So when i click the link in home.jsp the page is not found and this is the message

WARN : org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/timecard/NewAccount] in DispatcherServlet with name 'appServlet'

i’m really confused. can you tell me what i’m doing wrong.
thanks in advance

Answer 1

You are using wrong url in href tag. In your controller you have mapped url /timecard/newAccounts.

So you need to change the href to ${pageContext.servletContext.contextPath}/timecard/newAccounts and then try again.

Hope this helps you. Cheers.
