No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/MVCCrud/viewemp] in DispatcherServlet with name 'dispatcher'

Question

I'm new at SpringFramework and I'm trying to make a Spring MVC web app (using database). I am getting that error from the title and I don't understand why. I checked the files and everyting seems to be fine. I'm adding the files:

EmployeeController.java

package com.javatpoint.controllers;

import java.util.List;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
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;

import com.javatpoint.beans.Employee;
import com.javatpoint.dao.EmployeeJDBCTemplate;

@Controller
public class EmployeeController {
    @Autowired
    EmployeeJDBCTemplate jdbcTemplate;//will inject dao from xml file  

    /*It displays a form to input data, here "command" is a reserved request attribute 
     *which is used to display object data into form 
     */  
    @RequestMapping("/empform")
    public ModelAndView showform(){
        return new ModelAndView("empform","command",new Employee());
    }

       /*It saves object into database. The @ModelAttribute puts request data 
     *  into model object. You need to mention RequestMethod.POST method  
     *  because default request is GET*/  
    @RequestMapping(value="/save", method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView save(@ModelAttribute("emp") Employee employee){
        jdbcTemplate.save(employee);
        return new ModelAndView("redirect:/viewmap"); //will redirect to viewmap request mappeing
    }

     /* It provides list of employees in model object */
    @RequestMapping("/viewmap")
    public ModelAndView viewmap(){
        List<Employee> list = jdbcTemplate.getEmployees();
        return new ModelAndView("viewmap","list",list);
    }

    /* It displays object data into form for the given id.  
     * The @PathVariable puts URL data into variable.*/  
    @RequestMapping(value="/editemp/{id}")
    public ModelAndView edit(@PathVariable int id){
        Employee employee = jdbcTemplate.getEmployee(id);
        return new ModelAndView("empeditform","command",employee);
    }

    /* It updates model object. */  
    @RequestMapping(value="/editsave",method=RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView editsave(@ModelAttribute("emp") Employee employee){
        jdbcTemplate.update(employee);
        return new ModelAndView("redirect:/viewemp");
    }

     /* It deletes record for the given id in URL and redirects to /viewemp */  
    @RequestMapping(value="/deleteemp/{id}",method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView delete(@PathVariable int id){
        jdbcTemplate.delete(id);
        return new ModelAndView("redirect:/viewemp");
    }
}

EmployeeJDBCTemplate.java

package com.javatpoint.dao;

        jdbcTemplateObject.update(SQL,employee.getId(),employee.getName(),employee.getSalary(),employee.getDesignation());

    }

        String SQL = "select * from emp99 where id=?";
        Employee employee = jdbcTemplateObject.queryForObject(SQL, new Object[]{id}, new EmployeeMapper());

I am adding a photo with the files structure too.

Answer 1

Your are missing the <mvc:annotation-driven /> in your dispatcher-servlet.xml to tell spring to use annotations.

The namespace is xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" and the schemaLocation http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-4.2.xsd
