No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/TestServlet/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'offers'

Question

I've seen this question asked a lot of times and I also see lots of different answers. Unfortunately, nothing seems to be working for me. Please help.

I get the error Aug 18, 2016 1:03:09 PM org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound noHandlerFound No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/TestServlet/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'offers'

I've tried the same thing around 3 times. Please do advice on how I can proceed.

My web.xml file is as below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5">

    <welcome-file>default.html</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>default.htm</welcome-file>
    <welcome-file>default.jsp</welcome-file>
  </welcome-file-list>
  <servlet>
    <description></description>

  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>offers</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

My offers-servlet.xml is as follows

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

    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"></property>
    </bean>
</beans>

This is my home.jsp file

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
    pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>

Hi There
</body>
</html>

This is my OffersController source file

package com.sharat.spring.web.controllers;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;

@Controller
public class OffersController {
        @RequestMapping("/")
        public String showHome(){
            return "home";
        }
}

Please help me understand where i may be wrong. I checked the package name where my controller is located and seems to be correct. I also added the and the context component scan.

Thank you.

is your home.jsp located in /WEB-INF/jsps ? – WeMakeSoftware Aug 18 '16 at 08:00 — WeMakeSoftware, Aug 18 '16 at 08:00

Change your servlet dispatcher mapping to serve all incoming requests:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>offers</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

and in order to access "/offers" URI you need to edit your controller class:

@Controller
public class OffersController {
        @RequestMapping("/offers")
        public String showHome(){
            return "home";
        }
}

Dear Funtik, I tried that but now i get the error Aug 18, 2016 1:48:09 PM org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound noHandlerFound WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/offers/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'offers' I have changed my web.xml servlet mapping to offers /* – user2951259 Aug 18 '16 at 08:19
but your URI should be blank. Like localhost:8080/ – WeMakeSoftware Aug 18 '16 at 08:26
Is there something i might be doing wrong for it to not be blank ? – user2951259 Aug 18 '16 at 08:37
@Futnik - thanks for the reply. I still get the same error though :( – user2951259 Aug 18 '16 at 10:02

I still do not know what the issue is. I got it working by installing a completely new version of Eclipse and a new workspace and then using the same code that i originally posted. Weird !
