Spring - URI mapping issue

Question

I´m getting a mapping error on my application, any help would be greatly appreciated! =)

Error message: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/springapp/priceincrease.htm] in DispatcherServlet with name 'springapp'

You can find some code below:

PriceIncreaseFormController.java

@Controller
@RequestMapping(value="/priceincrease.htm")
public class PriceIncreaseFormController {

/** Logger for this class and subclasses */
protected final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(getClass());

@Autowired
private ProductManager productManager;

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String onSubmit(@Valid PriceIncrease priceIncrease, BindingResult result)
{
    if (result.hasErrors()) {
        return "priceincrease";
    }

    int increase = priceIncrease.getPercentage();
    logger.info("Increasing prices by " + increase + "%.");

    productManager.increasePrice(increase);

    return "redirect:/hello.htm";
}

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
protected PriceIncrease formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException {
    PriceIncrease priceIncrease = new PriceIncrease();
    priceIncrease.setPercentage(15);
    return priceIncrease;
}

public void setProductManager(ProductManager productManager) {
    this.productManager = productManager;
}

public ProductManager getProductManager() {
    return productManager;
}

}

Answer 1

You forgot to add handler mapping in your application context:

<bean id="handlerMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping"/>

Answer 2

There problem in your GET method : formBackingObject. Depends upon your requirement it should return to view or make it REST method.

Case 1 : return to view (JSP,HTML,XSLT...)

@RequestMapping(value="/priceincrease.htm",method = RequestMethod.GET)
protected String formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request,Model model) throws ServletException {
      PriceIncrease priceIncrease = new PriceIncrease();
      priceIncrease.setPercentage(15);
      model.addAttribute("priceIncrease",priceIncrease);
      return "view_name";
}

Case 2 : REST method using @ResponseBody (jackson.core Jar is necessary)

@RequestMapping(value="/priceincrease.htm",method = RequestMethod.GET)
@ResponseBody
protected PriceIncrease formBackingObject(HttpServletRequest request) throws ServletException {
    PriceIncrease priceIncrease = new PriceIncrease();
    priceIncrease.setPercentage(15);
    return priceIncrease;
}

Here you have modify controller's parent mapping (simply remove it) for both cases

@Controller
public class PriceIncreaseFormController {

}
