I have created a spring application (Spring version 3.2.8). The application is working fine but the issue which I am facing is that when I try to consume the controller service through url I am getting 404 error
The url which I try to consume through browser url is given below, which I expect to return a test string
http://localhost/Spring3Sample/user/getPersonDetails
My code is as given below

You have mapped the DispatcherServlet with URL pattern as
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Whenever you want t request a controller method you must have to add this URL pattern to the request. So that Spring will find the correct mapping this.
So change your request URL to following:-
http://localhost:8080/Spring3Sample/user/getPersonDetails.do
As you expect to return a test string:
Add the
#ResponseBody
annotation to ur controller's method. So that Spring wouldn't look for the JSP page with name test, instead return test as String.
EDIT:
From the discussion in chat:
Also u are missing <mvc:annotation-driven /> in applicationContext.xml.
To remove *.do from the request URL:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
After observing your applicationContext.xml , I can see you are missing <mvc:annotation-driven/> Your Updated code will look like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

<context:component-scan base-package="com.controllers" />
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
</beans>
Explanation
<annotation-driven /> means that you can define spring beans dependencies without actually having to specify a bunch of elements in xml or implement an interface or extend a base class.Means #Controller tells spring that the the class specified contains methods that will handle http requests without you having to implement the Controller interface or extend a subclass that implements controller.
<context:component-scan base-package="com.controllers" /> tells spring that it should search the class path for all the classes under com.controllers and look at each class to see if it has a #Controller, or #Repository, or #Service, or #Component and if it does then Spring will register the class with the bean factory as if you have defined in in the xml configuration files
As per user comment
do we need both applicationContext.xml and dispatcher-servlet.xml
Actually Spring lets you define multiple contexts in a parent-child hierarchy.
applicationContext.xml defines the beans for the root webapp context means the context associated with the webapp.
dispatcher-servlet.xml defines the beans for one servlet's application context. There can be many dispatcher-servlet.xml in a webapp i.e servlet1-servlet.xml for servlet spring1, spring2-servlet.xml for servlet spring2
note:: Beans in spring-servlet.xml can reference beans in
applicationContext.xml, but not vice versa.
You missed port number in your URL
Use this URL
http://localhost:8080/Spring3Sample/user/getPersonDetails
First in Spring MVC manual
The #Controller annotation acts as a stereotype for the annotated
class, indicating its role. The dispatcher scans such annotated
classes for mapped methods and detects #RequestMapping annotations
(see the next section).
So delete this
#RequestMapping("/user")
Because it makes no sense next
#RequestMapping("/user/getPersonDetails")
you should note I add "/user" to url.
Also you are not return any jSon. First if I were you I change second request mapping (on the method getUserDetails) with string I put in this answer.
And looks like you miss with config files...
Check this string in web.xml
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
it will dispatch only urls with ".do" at their end.
I added this to my config class that extends WebMvcConfigurer:
#Bean
public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
final InternalResourceViewResolver bean = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
bean.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
bean.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/view/pages/");
bean.setSuffix(".jsp");
return bean;
}
You'll have to add this dependency for it to work:
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>jstl</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

I am trying to create a Spring RESTful API very a basic application from scratch, but I am not able to access the controller. I could access JSP file but not controller. I have tried with to annotate with #RestController as well but it didn't work. I am running on Tomcat 8.
Error is:
The origin server did not find a current representation for the target
resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists. WEB.xml

My Controller is
#Controller
public class TransactionControllerImpl{
#Autowired
private TransactionService transactionService;
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value="/transaction")
#ResponseBody
public String getTransactionList() {
try {
System.out.println("from controller");
return "HEllow rahul";//transactionService.getTransactionList();
}
catch (Exception e) {
return null;
}
}
If you are creating application context separately, you should provide context param and value as location of your context.xml file.
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/application-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
For your error the controller is not accessible,it might be due to :-
<context:component-scan
base-package="com.controller />
check if you have written correct base-package name or try using
<context:component-scan base-package="..package name..">
<context:include-filter expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller" type="annotation"/>
</context:component-scan>
Hope it helps.
Remove listener from web.xml because you have only one context xml. If you want to load multiple context xml add listener and context param.
I have the following files:
web.xml:
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

LoginController:
package de.yellowsub.tk.mvc;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ResponseBody;
#Controller
public class LoginController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/login")
#ResponseBody
public String sayHello() {
return "Hello World!";
}
}
Now if I put in localhost:8080/login in the URL I can see "Hello World" in the Browser but not if I write localhost:8080/spring-mvc/login
Any ideas?
Also here is the tk-servlet.xml if it's any use:

</beans>
Based on your comment you have generated a Spring Boot application. That is quite different from a Spring MVC application, you do not need web.xml or tk-servlet.xml to configure it. You can delete both.
You can add server.contextPath=/spring-mvc to your application.properties (create it in src/main/resources) to set the context path.
Also please find a different tutorial, because pure Spring based MVC application is totally different from Spring Boot web application.
You NEED TO fix the root context for your web application (spring-mvc) to fix the URL
If you are using Maven, you can fix your war name by adding the below tag into the pom.xml:
<build>
<finalName>spring-mvc</finalName>
</build>
Then you should be able to access your application controller always with below url :
http://localhost:8080/spring-mvc/login
if you dont use maven follow this link How to set the context path of a web application in Tomcat 7.0
I don't understand why If I use RestController annotation to declare a class as service, like this:
#RestController("/registration")
public class RegistrationService {
#RequestMapping(value="/",
produces="application/json")
public String initializeSession(Model model){
return "{\"success\":1}";
}
}
when I do a request like
http://localhost:8080/SpringRest/registration/
I get an 404 status and in the console:
No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/SpringRest/registration/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcherServlet'
Everything works If I change #RestController("/registration")
with
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/registration")
and add #ResponseBody above method declaration.

The declaration of RestController looks like:
#Target(value=TYPE)
#Retention(value=RUNTIME)
#Documented
#Controller
#ResponseBody
public #interface RestController
It includes #Controller and #ResponseBody but not #RequestMapping. So you need to add it. So the following shall work:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/registration")
The correct usage is:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/registration")
The value of #RestController is the component name.
From RestController (Spring Framework 4.3.9.RELEASE API):
public abstract String value
The value may indicate a suggestion for a logical component name, to
be turned into a Spring bean in case of an autodetected component.
#RestController not including url mapping so you need to #Requestmapping as well like
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/registration")
I have been trying to debug it for like hours and even tried to create the same project over and again. I don't know whether it's the issue due to IntelliJ IDEA or something else. I tried to google but couldn't find any solution. I am making a simple spring mvc demo application in intelliJ. A default structure was provided by intelliJ and a view "index.jsp" in web directory.

The problem is that whenever I run the project and hit localhost:8080/ then index.jsp is executed but according to my configuration and mapping hello.jsp should be loaded. It may be possible that I am doing some silly mistake but I have tried as much as I can and now really frustrated. Please help me out. Thanks.
localhost:8080
Try this mapping:
#RequestMapping(value = {"", "/", "index.jsp"}, method = RequestMethod.GET)
I guess localhost:8080 equals "" path, but not /
I have made a Java project having spring controller that handle url
Here is the controller code
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.config.annotation.EnableWebMvc;
#EnableWebMvc
#Controller
public class SmartContentValidator {
#RequestMapping(value = "/validate")
public String validate() {
System.out.println("Yo");
return "YO";
}
}
Then I exported above java project as jar file.
Then created a new web project and added the above jar in build path. Here is the web.xml and dispatcher-servlet.xml

it shows 404-not found on browser and

What is the issue? Am I missing something?
Edit
Project Structure
I am not sure if it helps with your case but I think that in standalone application there would be an issue as #EnableWebMvc should be used with Java config - class annotated with #Configuration, not with #Controller bean.
As you use xml config you can try put <mvc:annotation-driven />, see https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html#mvc-config-enable for more details.
You would also need to provide your application context as dispatcher servlet param like in example http://docs.spring.io/spring-flex/docs/1.0.x/reference/html/ch02s02.html:
<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>/WEB-INF/config/web-application-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Normally this is caused by Spring not correctly finding your controller. If you enable DEBUG logging Spring will log what beans are registered when you start the application.
If it is correctly loading your controller then check that your root path is correct (I think this is your war name by default) which again should be displayed in the logging during startup.
