My spring rest web service not working, I got error “org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound handleNoSuchRequestHandlingMethod”

Question

This is my controller

@Controller
public class UserController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/user", method = RequestMethod.GET,headers="Accept=application/json")
    public @ResponseBody RegisterUser getUser() {
        RegisterUser registerUser = new RegisterUser();
        registerUser.setId(1);
        registerUser.setName("John");
        registerUser.setDob("15-04-1993");
        registerUser.setAddress("US");
        registerUser.setDepartment("IT");
        return registerUser;
    }

Your web.xml is not complete

**Add the following into your web.xml which creates Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters**


    <listener>
        <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
    </listener>

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
            <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/spring-servlet.xml</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
