在独立Tomcat上部署时，为什么没有提取我的RequestMapping？ 它可以在Eclipse WTP中使用

Question

I am deploying a Spring MVC webapp on Tomcat8 using RequestMapping annotation. Example of Mappings:

@Controller("brandController")
@RequestMapping("brand")
public class BrandController {

@Autowired
private BrandService brandService;


/**
 * Creates or edits details about a specific Brand
 * @param brand the brand to create/edit
 */
@RequestMapping(value="/save", consumes="application/json",  produces="application/json", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public @ResponseBody Brand editBrand(@RequestBody Brand brand){
    brandService.saveBrand(brand);
    return brand;
}
...
}

web.xml

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd" version="3.1">

        <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/rest/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Now if I deploy my application through Eclipse WTP, the mappings are picked up and the application works correctly. However, when I deploy the application in a "plain" Tomcat 8 container, the mappings are not picked up.

Note that the runtime package of Tomcat is exactly the same, the only difference is that once I used it from within Eclipse and the other Libs and classes deployed in WEB-INF are the same, so I suspect this has to do with some settings being customized by Eclipse, but I couldn't find any relevant difference.

Would you have any idea? Thank you.

Answer 1

is your controller in another module? maybe eclipse it deploying it as classes and when you make war file it is not in current classes folder any more?

ps: i think it was problem with resources. can not find any reason why it can be the cause with classes. anyway :D
