No mapping found with @RestController an @RequestMapping

Question

I have the following Controller

@RestController("/person")
public class PersonController {

    @Autowired
    PersonService personService;

    @RequestMapping(value = "/list",
                    method = RequestMethod.GET,
                    produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE
                    )
    public List<PersonNode> getPersons(){

        return personService.getList();

    }

}

Now the spring neo4j config:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans

        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">

    <!-- Scan the JavaConfig -->

    <context:annotation-config/>
    <context:component-scan base-package="server.infrastructure.repositories.neo4j.config" />

</beans>

and spring mvc rest config:

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
       xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"

                    http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">

    <!--Used for Spring MVC configuration - must have-->
    <mvc:annotation-driven />

    <!-- This shows where to scan for rest controller -->
    <context:component-scan base-package="server.api.rest.controller" />

</beans>

and web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"

However when I refer to http://localhost:8080/rest/person/list i keep getting the:

However, when I refer to http://localhost:8080/rest/list I get the expected list of persons.

I want to refer to the http://localhost:8080/rest/person/list while using the @RestController for the person at class level and the `list' at the method level. How this can be done?

you should add @RequestMapping to your Controller Class

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/person")
public class PersonController {

   @Autowired
   PersonService personService;

   @RequestMapping(value = "/list", method = RequestMethod.GET, produces = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
   public List<PersonNode> getPersons(){
     return personService.getList();
   }
}

Your solution works but why the `@RestController("/person")` does not work? – mCs Dec 16 '15 at 10:37

The value indicated in the RestController annotation is a suggestion for a logical component name like others annotation Service, Repository and is not used as url mapping to your controller. – tcharaf Dec 16 '15 at 10:51
Thank you for explanation. So this logical component name is never used or can it be used somehow? – mCs Dec 16 '15 at 11:44
I am sorry for this late response, but i got your confussion. That name has been used as a bean name so that the application context could look up. If you leave it blank, a default name will be used. I think it is better to use *name* attribute instead of *value* one. – kidnan1991 Apr 04 '18 at 04:38
