Spring mvc:mapping path rules

Question

I need to map interceptor for all methods in annotated controller with @RequestMapping(value = "/client")

In mapping I have

<mvc:interceptor>
   <mvc:mapping path="/app/client/*"/>
   <bean class="com.cci.isa.web.CIPClientHandleInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptor>

This interceptor called perfectly for urls like:
1. http://host/app/client/clientUpdateForm?clientId=305

But doesn't called for urls like:
2. http://host/app/client/clientUpdateForm/clientId_305 (with slash after method name)

How get it called for second variant?

Thanks a lot.

Answer 1

This question is too old, but maybe this helps somebody.

You should try removing /app, I think it's not necessary and perhaps this is causing the problem.

<mvc:mapping path="/client/**"/>

Answer 2

I think this will achieve what you would like:

<mvc:mapping path="/app/client/**/*"/>

The '/**' suggests any number of directories. When this is used in conjunction with '/*', you have something that looks at an arbitrary folder depth, with an arbitrary file name.

Answer 3

If your controller with

@RequestMapping(value = "/client")

Try

<mvc:mapping path="/client**"/>
