Spring MVC 4.1.7 Class Level @RequestMapping

Question

I am new to Spring MVC. I need a help, please.

I could deploy my app on the WebLogic 10.3.6 using Java EE Eclipse successfully. I could run mapped URL successfully on Controller's method level as below.

http://localhost:7001/SpringMVCHibernateProject/hello

When I try with class & method level @RequestMapping annotation it does not work. http://localhost:7001/SpringMVCHibernateProject/welcome/hello

web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

HelloAnnotationController.java

package au.com.snh.controllers;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/welcome")
public class HelloAnnotationController {

@RequestMapping(value = "/hello", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView sayHello(){
    ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("/pages/hello");
    model.addObject("msg", "Hello Spring MVC World");

    return model;
}

@RequestMapping("/hi")
public ModelAndView sayHi(){
    ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("/pages/hi");
    model.addObject("msg", "Hi Spring MVC World");

    return model;
}

}

Can please someone help what could be wrong?

Thanks, Hitesh
