How to detect from where 404 error is coming? debugger calls the method and works fine but then stills it showing 404 error

package com.crudoperation;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PostMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
#Controller
public class EmployeeController {
#Autowired
private EmployeeService employeeService;
#RequestMapping("/")
public String helloGfg() {
return "hii";
}
#PostMapping("/saveEmployee")
public String saveEmployee(#ModelAttribute("employee") Employee employee) {
employeeService.saveEmployee(employee);
return "redirect:/showEmployee";
}
}
debugger comes in helloGfg method but then it still showing 404 error..i think there will be some other dependency or annotaion based issues......how could i find the issue?below is my pom.xml

how to find from where the error is coming..in maven project in webapp directory when i seperately run as run on server then it did not even find seprate file..how to solve it?
this is my project structure..which thing i need to remove.i cannot understand.
here is the code for viewResolver
package com.crudoperation;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Description;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView;
import org.thymeleaf.templateresolver.ServletContextTemplateResolver;
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.crudoperation")
public class EmployeeAppConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
#Bean
public InternalResourceViewResolver resolver() {
InternalResourceViewResolver resolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
resolver.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
resolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
resolver.setSuffix(".jsp");
return resolver;
}
#Bean
public SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver() {
// SpringResourceTemplateResolver automatically integrates with Spring's own
// resource resolution infrastructure, which is highly recommended.
SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver = new SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
templateResolver.setApplicationContext(this.applicationContext);
templateResolver.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/templates/");
templateResolver.setSuffix(".html");
// HTML is the default value, added here for the sake of clarity.
templateResolver.setTemplateMode(TemplateMode.HTML);
// Template cache is true by default. Set to false if you want
// templates to be automatically updated when modified.
templateResolver.setCacheable(true);
return templateResolver;
}
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry resourceHandlerRegistry) {
resourceHandlerRegistry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}
}

Try to define in webapp folder a hii.html file. helloGfg is returning hii but the resource with such name is missing.

Now that you have both the ViewResolver in place, you can add/set Order to them. Try,
templateResolver.setOrder(0); //or lower value

first I have to add
package com.crudoperation;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Qualifier;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScan;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Description;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ViewResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurer;
import org.thymeleaf.spring3.SpringTemplateEngine;
import org.thymeleaf.spring3.templateresolver.SpringResourceTemplateResolver;
import org.thymeleaf.spring3.view.ThymeleafViewResolver;
import org.thymeleaf.templateresolver.ClassLoaderTemplateResolver;
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.crudoperation")
#Qualifier(value = "EmployeeAppConfig")
public class EmployeeAppConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
#Autowired
ApplicationContext applicationContext;
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry resourceHandlerRegistry) {
resourceHandlerRegistry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/");
}
#Bean
public ClassLoaderTemplateResolver yourTemplateResolver() {
ClassLoaderTemplateResolver configurer = new ClassLoaderTemplateResolver();
configurer.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
configurer.setSuffix(".html");
configurer.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
configurer.setOrder(0); // this is important. This way spring //boot will listen to both places 0 and 1
configurer.setCacheable(false);
return configurer;
}
#Bean
public SpringResourceTemplateResolver templateResolver() {
SpringResourceTemplateResolver srtr = new SpringResourceTemplateResolver();
srtr.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);
srtr.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/views/");
srtr.setSuffix(".html");
return srtr;
}
#Bean
#Description("Thymeleaf template engine with Spring integration")
public SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine() {
SpringTemplateEngine templateEngine = new SpringTemplateEngine();
templateEngine.setTemplateResolver(templateResolver());
return templateEngine;
}
#Bean
#Description("Thymeleaf view resolver")
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
ThymeleafViewResolver viewResolver = new ThymeleafViewResolver();
viewResolver.setTemplateEngine(templateEngine());
viewResolver.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
return viewResolver;
}
}
so that path can be found

Unable to use swagger in spring application

I have followed the steps mentioned in https://www.baeldung.com/swagger-2-documentation-for-spring-rest-api to add swagger to a plain spring application -
I added the maven dependencies -
<!-- for swagger -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger2</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-swagger-ui</artifactId>
<version>2.9.2</version>
</dependency>
<!-- end of swagger dependency -->
I created 2 classes for configuration -
package com.luv2code.springdemo.config;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import springfox.documentation.builders.RequestHandlerSelectors;
import springfox.documentation.builders.PathSelectors;
import springfox.documentation.spi.DocumentationType;
import springfox.documentation.spring.web.plugins.Docket;
import springfox.documentation.swagger2.annotations.EnableSwagger2;
#Configuration
#EnableSwagger2
#EnableWebMvc
public class SpringFoxConfig {
#Bean
public Docket api() {
return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2)
.select()
.apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.any())
.paths(PathSelectors.any())
.build();
}
}
and
package com.luv2code.springdemo.config;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.ResourceHandlerRegistry;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.WebMvcConfigurerAdapter;
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
public class SpringFoxUIConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("swagger-ui.html")
.addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/");
registry.addResourceHandler("/webjars/**")
.addResourceLocations("classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/");
}
}
but It is not working

I had this problem too. Add a / at the end of your url.
Like this:
http://localhost:8080/spring-rest-demo/swagger-ui/

Whitelabel Error Page Problem accessing Swagger

When trying to access the Swagger documentation, I face this error:
Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for

For Spring Boot with SpringFox 3 all you need is following:
<dependency>
<groupId>io.springfox</groupId>
<artifactId>springfox-boot-starter</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
and /swagger-ui.html is now /swagger-ui/index.html or /swagger-ui. From doc
swagger-ui location has moved from http://host/context-path/swagger-ui.html to http://host/context-path/swagger-ui/index.html OR http://host/context-path/swagger-ui/ for short

Swagger not working with Spring REST API

Hello i am trying to implement swagger with Spring REST, i am not using Spring Boot to create REST API's, i have used normal Spring REST API.
The problem when i run the application and if i navigate to this url
http://localhost:8080/spring-mvc-restfull-crud-example/swagger-ui.html
i am getting only the header of swagger-ui, there is nothing else. I am using Java config instead of XML config.

can you please anyone help me that what is wrong in this? is there anything that i need to add?

You have not defined Docket bean and neither you have used the #EnableSwagger2
The configuration of Swagger mainly centers around the Docket bean. Swagger 2 is enabled through the #EnableSwagger2 annotation. Refer the below code.
#Configuration
#EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfig {
#Bean
public Docket customImplementation() {
return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2).pathMapping("/data").apiInfo(apiInfo());
}
private ApiInfo apiInfo() {
return new ApiInfo("ISW ADR Application",
"ADR or is another business line within the Issuer services business group."
+ "The primary functionalities of ADR are maintained within the DR system (mainframe) "
+ "Four main functionalities that are imported : "
+" 1) Dividend Announcements"
+ " 2) Depositary Service fees"
+ " 3) DR Fees"
+ " 4) DR Gross revenue.",
"ADR V2", "Terms of service", "xyz", "License of API", "API license URL");
}
}

You have not enabled swagger using #EnableSwagger2 and also have not returned a Docket Bean. Refer this.
#Configuration
#EnableSwagger2
public class SwaggerConfig {
#Bean
public Docket demoApi() {
return new Docket(DocumentationType.SWAGGER_2).select()
.apis(RequestHandlerSelectors.basePackage("com.example.demo"))
.paths(PathSelectors.regex("/person.*")).build();
}
}

Spring Boot basic Cacheing is Not working for me

I am trying to do a simple cache of data but everytime I test it. It never seems to cache the data.

#EnableCaching
public class Application {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
#Bean
public CacheManager cacheManager() {
return new ConcurrentMapCacheManager("getUserInfo");
}
}
package app.cache;
import app.repo.User.User;
import org.springframework.cache.annotation.Cacheable;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
#Service

It doesnt seem to save the data when I try to save it. And when I do a request again, no data is never cached.

You get that behavior because the cache works. The data is saved, but null is already cached: if(userCache.getUserInfo()
In order to clear the cache when you set the value you can annotate the setUserInfo Method with #CacheEvict(cacheNames="books", allEntries=true).
