Answer 1

If you are using Spring 3.2.x and , create this little BeanPostProcessor:

package spring;

public final class DoNotTruncateMyUrls implements BeanPostProcessor {
    @Override
    public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
        if (bean instanceof RequestMappingHandlerMapping) {
            ((RequestMappingHandlerMapping)bean).setUseSuffixPatternMatch(false);
        }
        return bean;
    }
    @Override
    public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
        return bean;
    }
}

Then put this in your MVC config xml:
