Spring MVC: I set the default page but the spring always should me the configuration files do not find

Question

I try run a basic Java EE Spring project on eclipse(jboss 7.1.1 server, Spring 3.1.2 released), but when it always print that the configuration file do not find but I Actually put the configuration file in right place. I do not configure the welcome-file, but mvc:view-controller instead.

this is my error screen shot

this is the web.xml file:

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

This is the web-application-config.xml file

    </bean>

</beans>

The error you can see in the picture:

HTTP Status 404 - /springupload/WEB-INF/webmvc-config.xml

type Status report

message /springupload/WEB-INF/webmvc-config.xml

description The requested resource (/springupload/WEB-INF/webmvc-config.xml) is not available. JBoss Web/7.0.13.Final

I really do not know why I configure the html and jsp page, while it should some configuration file as my start page?

Your configuration is not far from being OK.

One thing I notice is that the hello.html file is in your root WebContent folder. I suppose this is the view you want rendered when you access http://localhost:8080/springupload/ because of this line in the configuration:

<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="hello"/>

If this is so, then Spring is trying to resolve to /WEB-INF/hello.html because of the prefix and suffix on this viewResolver :

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="htmlre">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".html"/>
</bean>

However, you have two view resolvers with no order in them, and Spring is taking only the first one which resolves to /WEB-INF/hello.jsp, hence the 404 Not found

To wrap it up your solution is to move hello.html to /WEB-INF/ and to change your viewResolver configuration in webmvc-config.xml like so

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="jspre">
    <property name="order" value="2" />
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" id="htmlre">
    <property name="order" value="1" />
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/"/>
    <property name="suffix" value=".html"/>
</bean>

Last, you're not supposed to access directly content in the http://localhost:8080/WEB-INF/* URL, so everything you try here will result in a 404 Not found.

do you know how to made the first org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver can match file *.html or *.jsp? – user504909 Oct 03 '12 at 18:52
I don't think you can specify more than one suffix in an `InternalResourceViewResolver`. If you want to support multiple suffixes, either define one _viewResolver_ per suffix, or write your own _viewResolver_ which accepts an array of suffixes. – betomontejo Oct 03 '12 at 19:00
I did everything except last one,but still 404 for http://localhost:8080/springupload/. I put hello.jsp to /WEB-INF/, only one Resolver inside the serlvet for jsp file. I think the InternalResourceViewResolver will directly access the content under /WEB-INF/*. Can you tell me how to access the content in http://localhost:8080/springupload/WEB-INF/* – user504909 Oct 03 '12 at 19:12
Have you changed anything else? Like the configuration file names? – betomontejo Oct 03 '12 at 19:23
I change the name of webmvc-config.xml into myServlet-servlet.xml and change the servlet name as myServlet fellow the suggestion below: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/reference/mvc.html – user504909 Oct 03 '12 at 19:28
Check your logs, maybe there's an exception when loading the `DispatcherServlet`. When a view can not be resolved it will show a 404 the full path of the view, but this error on the `springupload/` now seems an issue with the context not being loaded properly – betomontejo Oct 03 '12 at 19:34
I think currently I do not add log on my spring. Can you tell my how to add log on DispatcherServlet? Sorry, I need to sleep soon, will continue tomorrow. – user504909 Oct 03 '12 at 19:43
I'm running out of options and this is not the best place to keep this discussions. My final advice would be to import a working sample like [the ones here](https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples/) (`mvc-basic` is enough to get you started) and continue from there. – betomontejo Oct 03 '12 at 19:48

Thank you, it seems wok but still have problem as: Http status 404 -/springupload/ – user504909 Oct 03 '12 at 17:43
description The requested resource (/springupload/) is not available. – user504909 Oct 03 '12 at 17:47
I read the passage and corrected the error above, but seem still have problem, I just want to show hello.html. so I set hello to mvc:view-controller, but it is still do not find I configured proper.(I have file hello.html under WEB-INF, you can see the second InternalResourceViewResolver resolver WEB-INF as views). But why it still show me 404 error. – user504909 Oct 03 '12 at 18:30
