I'm trying to create a single @RequestMapping value for 2 or 3 controllers unfortunately I'm getting error

Eg:

@Controller
public class contatcs {

  @RequestMapping(value="Save", params="m=contacts")
  public ModelAndView SaveContacts(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/savecontacts");
  }

  @RequestMapping(value="update", params="m=contacts")
  public ModelAndView UpdateContacts(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/updatecontacts");
  }
}



@Controller
public class clients {

  @RequestMapping(value="Save", params="m=clients")
  public ModelAndView SaveClients(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/saveclients");
  }

  @RequestMapping(value="update", params="m=clients")
  public ModelAndView updateClients(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/updateclients");
  }
}

in above I use Save in 2 controller so I'm getting error If I use with single controller it works as I expected

Error is: 

SEVERE: Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot map handler [clients] to URL path [//save]: There is already handler [crm.venkat.controller.Clients@7e47dc12] mapped.

  • It says right here »Cannot map handler [clientCompaniesController] to URL path [//Search]: There is already handler« where the cause lies. – Thomas Junk Dec 27 '14 at 11:01

You cannot have same url-mapping for various controllers however what you can do is:

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/contacts") //line added here
public class contatcs {

  @RequestMapping(value="/Save", params="m=contacts")
  public ModelAndView SaveContacts(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/savecontacts");
  }

  @RequestMapping(value="/update", params="m=contacts") 
  public ModelAndView UpdateContacts(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/updatecontacts");
  }
}



@Controller
@RequestMapping("/clients") //line added here
public class clients {

  @RequestMapping(value="/Save", params="m=clients")
  public ModelAndView SaveClients(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/saveclients");
  }

  @RequestMapping(value="/update", params="m=clients")
  public ModelAndView updateClients(@ModelAttribute("command") ContactsBean contactsBean,
        BindingResult result)
    //some stuff
    return new ModelAndView("/updateclients");
  }
}

Now what you can do is fire a url /contacts/Save that would get the control in contacts class' SaveContacts method and /clients/Save would go to client class' SaveClients method. And similarly for update.
