I am working on a spring project and i have this strange error with a 404 not found

when i call localhost:8080/BMS/ i got the following error 

 No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/BMS/$%7B] in DispatcherServlet with name 'spring'

note that : i made an Index.html file as a welcome file under the webapp folder that redirect to the login page inside the WEB-INF folder

so my question is what is this $%7B in the error and how i can fix this ?

index.html

<head>
   <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://localhost:8080/BMS/login.html" />
</head>

According to URL encoding Reference %7B means {

Look at this line of your index.html

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://localhost:8080/BMS/login.html" />

Try removing SPACE between zero & url. Making url to URL.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=http://localhost:8080/BMS/login.html" />

Hope this will help you.

  • thank you for your answer but its the same nothing changed – Dunken Jul 07 '14 at 12:24
  • Try with `JSTL Core Tag` & convert your index.html to index.jsp Bcoz redirect with meta tag is not supported in all browsers & The W3C recommends that this tag not be used. They recommend using a server-side 301 redirect instead. For more information on decoding read these http://visitivitymedia.com/decoding-meta-tags/ & http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6138127/how-to-do-url-decoding-in-java – OO7 Jul 07 '14 at 12:46
