Spring MVC: RequestMapping both class and method

Question

Is this possible?

@Controller @RequestMapping("/login") public class LoginController {      @RequestMapping("/")     public String loginRoot() {         return "login";     }      @RequestMapping(value="/error", method=RequestMethod.GET)     public String loginError() {         return "login-error";     }  } 

I got a 404 error when accessing localhost:8080/projectname/login but not in localhost:8080/projectname/login/error.

Here's my web.xml project name

<listener>     <listener-class>         org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener     </listener-class> </listener>  <context-param>     <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>     <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value> </context-param>  <servlet>     <description></description>     <servlet-name>projectname</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>         org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet     </servlet-class> </servlet>  <servlet-mapping>     <servlet-name>projectname</servlet-name>     <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 

Answer 1

You don't need the / in the method's mapping. Just map it to "".

Answer 2

You don't need to "/" and you need to also add the request method.

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET) public String loginRoot() {     return "login"; } 

Consider using spring mvc tests to make the process of testing these scenarios easier:
