Spring: how to invoke simple controller?

Question

I'm new in Spring and start with simple tutorials. I define simple jsp and Controller, then mapped it xml document and run it, but only what I have saw is a my wev page without values which I have passed in controler:

@Controller
public class HomeController {

@Autowired
private ExampleService exampleService;

@RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String home(Model model) {
    model.addAttribute("serverTime", exampleService.getSystemTime());
    model.addAttribute("appVersion", exampleService.getAppVersion());
    return "home";
}
}

@Component
public class ExampleService {

@Value("#{appProperties.appVersion}")
private String appVersion;

/**
 * Returns formatted system time.
 * 
 * @return
 */
public String getSystemTime() {
DateFormat dateFormat = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.LONG);
return dateFormat.format(new Date());
}

public String getAppVersion() {
return appVersion;
}
}

I have learned a few tutorials and read a web part of official documentation that is relevant to my work but I haven't understand yet where is a problem in my code.

I'm stuck with it. If you have any ideas please share it with me. Thanks.

Answer 1

Its working fine for me. The same code. Could you please post the jsp too.

I have the below jsp: Please let us know if your jsp looks similar.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
${serverTime}
</body>
</html>
