I am working on a server where we are using a third party API provider for a particular service. The third party send a image endpoint. Eg. "/media/image/image.jpg". The image is available on the third party base URL.

I need to make the image available on our base url. For that I have a controller.

@RequestMapping(value = "/media/movie/{imageName}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void getMovieImage(@PathVariable("imageName") String imageName, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
    String type = imageName.split(".")[imageName.split("\\.").length - 1];
    String imageUrl = getBaseUrl() + imageName;
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new URL(imageUrl));
    response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
    response.setContentType("image/" + type);
    ImageIO.write(image, type, response.getOutputStream());
}

But the problem is *.jpg is defined as a default servlet mapping on web.xml.

<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>*.jpg</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>`

So the request don't get to the controller and shows 404.

How can I get the request on my controller or is there any alternative way to the problem?

You can add filter's init parameter excludedUrls and check in filter if it isn't in exclsion list. See full example

if(!excludedUrls.contains(path))
