Buling REST with spring-mvc returns 404 The origin server did not find a current

Question

I am trying to build rest api with spring mvc and maven web project; however, when I try to run it on server it returns 404 on any url.

"The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists."

I've tried to find the solution on the internet and none of them worked for me. I think there might be some mistakes in my configuration but I don't know what. The project is build on eclipse using maven web project, using spring-mvc and hibernate with database mysql. I am kind of confused because there is no error in the log.

Below is my web.xml that I put inside src/main/webapp/WEB-INF

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

and below is one of my controller

@CrossOrigin
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/persons") 
public class PersonController {
@Autowired
@Qualifier("personService")
private PersonService personService;

@RequestMapping(method= RequestMethod.GET, headers = "Accept=application/json")
public Object getAll(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    try {
        List<Person> persons = personService.getAll();
        String url = ServletUtil.unwrap(request);
        String json = PersonJSONWrapper.wrap(persons,url);
        return ResponseEntity.ok(json);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST).body(null);
    }
}

public static String getURL() {
    return "/persons";
}

public static String getURL(Integer id) {
    return "/persons"+id.toString();
}

}

I would be glad if you could point out my mistakes.

Answer 1

It looks like there is no bean PersonService in application context. Add PersonService class to applicationContext.xml as bean.
