I tried Spring MVC app as described in the book "Spring in Action 3rd Edition". Unfortunately, till now, I am not able to run the simplest app after wasting 6 hrs. I am always getting the "HTTP Status 404" error.
I found many threads on this forum for "@RequestMapping not working in Spring" and now wondering whether I am following the right book or is there something very basic which has troubled so many fellow Spring learners.
I tried running the MVC app in the book itself (Ch-7, spitter-web) but again, that app also didn't work. Looks like the author has not paid great attention in trying his own apps.
For the sake of completeness, my web.xml is:

And my Controller class is: package com.truality.demo.web.controller;
import java.util.Map;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class HomeController {
@RequestMapping(value={"/home.htm"}, method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String showHomePage(Map<String, String> model) {
model.put("name","Google");
return "home";
}
I am getting the 404 error always when I try accessing
- http://localhost:8080/demo-prop-1-1/home.htm OR
- http://localhost:8080/demo-prop-1-1/home.jsp
- http://localhost:8080/demo-prop-1-1/home
- http://localhost:8080/demo-prop-1-1
I am down to the point where I will start evaluating some other technology like PHP or ... if I could not solve this trivial issue.
Please help. Also, Can someone point me to good Spring book which give working examples so that some one can learn it fast?
Thanks a lot in advance.
