Spring MVC 3.0.6 @ RequestMapping用于两个级别的URL得到了404

Question

I am using spring mvc 3.0.6. here is my code:

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/staff")
public class StaffController extends BaseController {

    @RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView goStaffIndex(Model model) throws Exception{
        model.addAttribute("staff", new Staff());
        return new ModelAndView("staff/staffIndex","model",model);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/newStaff",method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String addStaff(Model model) throws Exception{
        model.addAttribute("staff", new Staff());
        return "staff/newStaff";
        //return new ModelAndView("staff/newStaff","model",model);
    }
}

• first method work fine.

• problem in second method, when i send a request:http://localhost:8080/mvc/staff/newStaff.do. dispatcher send request to addStaff() method, it is also fine. return is also fine. because debugging message told me it fine.

message:

• 20:16:30,648 INFO [stdout] DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView] -Forwarding to resource [WEB-INF/views/staff/newStaff.jsp] in InternalResourceView 'staff/newStaff'

• 20:16:30,648 INFO [stdout] DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - Successfully completed request

however, page got a 404 error. but debug console without any error or warn.

when i remove class @RequestMapping and change some code, such as:

public class StaffController extends BaseController {

    @RequestMapping(value="/staff",method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView goStaffIndex(Model model) throws Exception{
        model.addAttribute("staff", new Staff());
        return new ModelAndView("staff/staffIndex","model",model);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/newStaff",method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String addStaff(Model model) throws Exception{
        model.addAttribute("staff", new Staff());
        return "staff/newStaff";
        //return new ModelAndView("staff/newStaff","model",model);
    }
}

after this, i send new request(with only one level url):http://localhost:8080/mvc/newStaff.do. working fine!!!! any resolution or i mistaking something?

i am using jbossAS 7.0

Answer 1

The answer from Cristiano is almost right. The only thing that was left behind is another bar before **:

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/staff/**")
public class StaffController extends BaseController {
...

Answer 2

I would add a / in front of the staff to get the application context root

try this:

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/staff**")
public class StaffController extends BaseController {

    @RequestMapping(method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView goStaffIndex(Model model) throws Exception{
        model.addAttribute("staff", new Staff());
        return new ModelAndView("staff/staffIndex","model",model);
    }

    @RequestMapping(value="/staff/newStaff**",method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public String addStaff(Model model) throws Exception{
        model.addAttribute("staff", new Staff());
        return "/staff/newStaff";            
    }
}
