In a servlet mapping in Spring MVC how do I map the root of a url pattern directory?

Question

    testServlet
    /test/*

<         


        

Answer 1

my setup usually looks like this:

    testServlet
    /

controller, where i assume you want to handle /test and /test/ equally:

@Controller
public class MyController {

    @RequestMapping("/test")
    public String test() {
        return "redirect:/welcome";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/test/")
    public String test() {
        return "redirect:/welcome";
    }

    @RequestMapping("/welcome")
    public void test(ModelMap model) {
        // do your stuff
    }
}

setup like this would cause DispatcherServlet to handle requests for *.css and *.js files, which is not desired in most cases. i think this is the problem Bhavik describes. For those resources you can you the ResourceController like this:

files from /resources/css and /resources/js will be served without forcing you to write a extra controller.
