How can I create a URL based on controller and action method in Spring MVC?

Question

I am using Spring MVC 3.0

I have a guestbook.jsp page where I want to create a link that points to GuestBookController\'s login method.

This is a simple task

Answer 1

Annotate your login method with @RequestMapping, like so:

@Controller
public class GuestBookController {
  ...
  @RequestMapping(value="/mycontextroot/login", method = RequestMethod.GET)
  public String login() {
    ...
  }
  ...
}

Then, in your JSP, create a link something like this:

Login

This assumes that your dispatcher servlet is looking for *.html URLs.
