Spring invokes wrong controller mapping

问题:

I'm building very basic mvc application with Spring. It has one controller that should invoke validation on request body. The problem is that if I define the mapping in web.xml it stops finding the right controller, but when I modify the servlet application context Spring star making some new bindings on the fly but this time annotation based validation is ignored. How can I controll mappings in web.xml while still invoking annotation based validation?

Here are the details:

The controller:

@Controller @RequestMapping("/api") public class UserActionsController {      @RequestMapping(value="/choice", method = RequestMethod.POST)     public @ResponseBody NameValue addUserChoice(@Valid @RequestBody NameValue action)     {                return action;     } } 

This is the servlet application context:

<mvc:annotation-driven/>  <context:component-scan base-package="com.my.package" />  <bean     class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">     <property name="mediaTypes">         <map>             <entry key="json" value="application/json" />         </map>     </property>     <property name="defaultContentType" value="application/json" />     <property name="defaultViews">         <list>             <bean                 class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.json.MappingJacksonJsonView" />         </list>     </property> </bean> 

Web xml:

<servlet>     <servlet-name>action-api</servlet-name>     <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>     <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet>  <servlet-mapping>     <servlet-name>action-api</servlet-name>     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 

The configuration above is working. The problem starts when I try to change web.xml so the controller will only be responsible for "/api/*". I change it to <url-pattern>/api/*</url-pattern>. In that case Spring cannot find the right controller.

(DispatcherServlet:819) - DispatcherServlet with name 'action-api' processing POST request for [/api/choice] (RequestMappingHandlerMapping:209) - Looking up handler method for path /choice (RequestMappingHandlerMapping:219) - Did not find handler method for [/choice] (PageNotFound:1080) - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/api/choice] in DispatcherServlet with name 'action-api' (DispatcherServlet:913) - Successfully completed request 

Modifying the servlet application context helps, Spring now able to find the controller, but validation is not invoked anymore.

<bean     class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">     <property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true" />     <property name="messageConverters">         <util:list id="beanList">             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.StringHttpMessageConverter"/>             <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter"/>         </util:list>     </property> </bean>  <bean     class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">     <property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true" /> </bean>  <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">     <property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true" /> </bean> 

Here is the log:

(DispatcherServlet:819) - DispatcherServlet with name 'action-api' processing POST request for [/api/choice] (RequestMappingHandlerMapping:209) - Looking up handler method for path /choice (RequestMappingHandlerMapping:219) - Did not find handler method for [/choice] (DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping:124) - Mapping [/api/choice] to HandlerExecutionChain with handler [com.my.package.controller.UserActionsController@1f86dbd] and 1 interceptor (HandlerMethodInvoker:638) - Reading [com.my.package.model.NameValue] as "application/json" using [org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter@2059ef] (HandlerMethodInvoker:173) - Invoking request handler method: public com.my.package.model.NameValue com.citypath.dima.controller.UserActionsController.addUserChoice(com.my.package.model.NameValue) (AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter:1037) - Written [com.my.package.model.NameValue@166685b] as "application/json;charset=UTF-8" using [org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter@2059ef] (DispatcherServlet:957) - Null ModelAndView returned to DispatcherServlet with name 'action-api': assuming HandlerAdapter completed request handling (DispatcherServlet:913) - Successfully completed request 

Looks like Spring making some binding on the fly, but this time validators are ignored. I need to have 2 controllers for, say '/api' and '/something'. How can I define it in web.xml so Spring will be able to locate them and to invoke validation?

Thanks.

Spring @Controllers URLs are always interpreted relative the the Spring Dispatcher Servlet that handles them. So if you map the dispatcher servlet to /api/* in web.xml then the URL to your controller above is /api/api/choice

So you can configure two spring dispatcher servelts in web.xml one mapped to /api in the web.xml and one mapped to /somethingelse in web.xml then you can just remove /api from the @RequestMappings

In my app I am using a single Dispatcher Servlet for api and UI and I use public static final String called URL in my various API controllers to build up the paths to the various resources exposed by the API. Below is an example from my API.

@Controller @RequestMapping(CompanyPermissionsResourceController.PATH) public class CompanyPermissionsResourceController extends BaseApiController {     public static final String PATH = CompanyResourceController.PATH + "/permissions";  

回答2:

Are you sure you are making post request to /api/choice?

@RequestMapping(value="/choice", method = RequestMethod.POST) 

Try Changing to

@RequestMapping(value="/choice", method = RequestMethod.GET) public @ResponseBody NameValue addUserChoice(@Valid @RequestBody NameValue action) {            return action; }

I don't think it works like this. Put all the path /api/choice at method level.
