        String message = "HELLO SPRING MVC HOW R U";
        return new ModelAndView("hellopage", "message", message);
    }
}

hellopage.jsp

Message is: ${message}

When I go to http://localhost:8080/SpringMVCBasic/ , I gets the index.jsp page correctly open

but when I click on link on the page ie the url http://localhost:8080/SpringMVCBasic/hello.html , I gets the error

HTTP Status 404 -

When I use url like this http://localhost:8080/SpringMVCBasic/hello , I gets this

HTTP Status 404 - /SpringMVCBasic/hello

I have taken the code from here

Answer 1

You provided mapping for:

@RequestMapping("/hello")

but you have to do it for:

@RequestMapping("/hello.html")

Answer 2

I downloaded the eclipse project and run it on a jboss. Following jars needed to be included:

• spring-context
• spring-core
• spring-web
• spring-webmvc
• spring-aop
• spring-beans
• spring-expression

If i afterwards run the jboss with Java 8 all seems to work fine.

Answer 3

在spring-servlet.xml中启用Spring MVC @Controller编程模型，如下所示：

<mvc:annotation-driven />

Answer 4

In your index.jsp instead of writing

href="hello.html">
change to
href="./hello.html">

and

In HelloworldController.java instead of writing

@RequestMapping("/hello")

change to:-

 @RequestMapping(value="/hello.html")

Answer 5

Please add all these jar as external jar or add these jar to your lib folder

Spring Jar
