Spring MVC mapping with path variable - java

I have a problem in a big application with rich context, and I spent time to understand why it isn't mapped. So I tried to create simple project and face the same issue :(

Tests:
GET http://localhost:8080/testMvc/items/clear => {"item":null}
GET http://localhost:8080/testMvc/items/1/item => 404 Not Found
What is wrong?


Replace value = "/${id}/item") into value ="/{id}/item". This is not EL expression , so no $ is needed here.
If what you want is a Regrex expression for Path variable, also put it into the {}. The syntax is {varName:regex} where the first part defines the variable name and the second - the regular expression .
Check Spring MVC Reference for more details of URI Template Patterns.

Why tomcat is not running the Spring MVC web application?

I get started with a simple web application using the Spring framework and when I trying to run in the IntelliJ, the BUILD is successfull but the app is not getting started, like you see the red lines tell you usually. I get the message provided below:
I have the following web.xml file,
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml file is as following:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
</beans>
And, here is my project structure:
This is the code for the test controller:
package rest.mvc;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
/**
* Created by Chaklader on 9/23/16.
*/
#Controller
public class TestController {
#RequestMapping("/test")
public String test(){
return "view";
}
}
What is the issue here and how to solve it?

Restful Service Returning 406

I checked the headers and made sure I had Accept:application/json
I'm not sure why Spring is still reporting a 406, I can consume MVC controllers fine.
I looked and made sure I had all the right includes in Maven, so that shouldn't be the issue. I'm running Tomcat 8, and Java 8.
Any help would be appreciated!

}
}
Ok Basically that's my code.. Still i browse to http://localhost:4848/mavenDWP/api/show/hello and i just get a 404 error. Any ideas?

Add #ResponseBody annotation. Every time when you return something that is not a build in class such as ModelAndView you need to use this annotation. See docs.
As an advice, try to use a Map even if you have a little amount of data to send to client. A map will be converted to JSON and can be easily accesed.

All is well, Try jsut to remove the space beteween servlet-class and org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet in the web.xml
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
Good luck

Spring 4.1 configuration for static content

I am trying to modify Mkyong's Spring 3 MVC and JSON example (http://www.mkyong.com/spring-mvc/spring-3-mvc-and-json-example/) to work with Spring 4.1.x and allow reaching html files under webapp directory. For 4.0.x <mvc:resources mapping="/*" location="/WEB-INF" /> with servlet-mapping did the trick, but it doesn't work in 4.1.x; http://localhost:8080/SpringMVCRest/index.html gives 404 error. How can I configure it?

Controller:

public class JSONController {
#RequestMapping(value = "/rest/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public #ResponseBody
Shop getShopInJSON(#PathVariable String name) {
Shop shop = new Shop();
shop.setName(name);
shop.setStaffName(new String[] { "mkyong1", "mkyong2" });
return shop;
}
}

If your HTML files are in the root of the webapp directory, they aren't under WEB-INF. So
<mvc:resources mapping="/*" location="/WEB-INF" />
should be
<mvc:resources mapping="/*" location="/" />

value from properties file is returning null

I have a variable being set in an external .properties file, but when I try to call the value, it keeps returning null. We have another project that is importing an external .properties file that works just fine, but even using that as a model I can't figure out why this one isn't working. relevent files below.
Specifically what is returning NULL is PropertiesUtil.getProperty("property.file.variable");

Found the solution. Turns out my web.xml setup was wrong. I had already tried the correct syntax, but a bad configuration of my tomcat server caused an error (NoClassDefFoundError: javax.servlet.ServletException) which deploying the project on a different server instance seemed to fix. The correct configuration is below:
Add to web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
